How do we not have a chainsaw photo thread?

Just pulled this out from under our work bench

Good days work for the bargain bucket Solo 646. This will be it's fourth or fifth full day session ringing up firewood, plus a bit of felling and brash bashing here and there and it still hasn't missed a beat, very pleased with it!

Nice job :thumbup:

 

Great saws Solo very underrated

Yep it does the job, but the 3 hp motor isn't quite powerful enough to cope with the 18" bar when it's buried in a hardwood log. Have you any experience of tuning this particular model of saw, is it worth looking into porting or muffler mods for it? Think my problem might be getting replacement gaskets and things for any strip downs.

3hp should pull 18" no problem. Think you need a carb kit and a retune! How big is the saw? 65cc?

[Darkslider]

It runs fine and isn't down on power from standard, I'm just comparing it to the saw I use most at work which is an MS 261 with 4hp and a full chisel 18" chain. Can't expect it to compare really for the price difference but if I could release a bit of extra oomph without too much time and effort it'd be welcome!

 

It's also a 46cc engine compared to the 261s 50cc I should add.
