Solo chainsaw

[jag1000]

Hi all, newbie here.

Hope someone can help.

 

I bought a solo 652 chainsaw last year for a great price. Was a bit wary before I purchased it as I had never heard of Solo. I checked out lots of reviews and went for it and its been great totally awesome.

 

However, unfortunately I dropped a big log on it breaking the handle cup and throttle lock mechanism. I have taped it up and can still use it.

 

I have searched the whole web looking for somewhere to buy parts for this saw but cant find anywhere. I have emailed Solo direct on numerous occasions but they don't reply.http://arbtalk.co.uk/forum/images/smiliesmodern/thumbdown.gif

 

Does anyone know where I can buy spares for this saw?

Many thanks for reading.

I think Shavey on here might be able to help; he knows Solo gear

[jag1000]

Nope.

I did try handy distribution before,spoke with guy on phone. Was meant to email me parts list.

as you know from your recent searchs iits a bit like a needle in the haystack I will pm some details across if you need some assistance

 

Solo has been taken over by Alko earlier this year and chainsaw production was stopped there is a new line up scheduled for late 2015 early 2016

So hopefully there won't be two many changes to the new models parts availability aren't the quickest and the IPL is just as difficult

 

But the handle and trigger lock is used on at least two models so your in luck

Thanks very much shavey. Love the saw, could do with a new air filter now as well! Hopefully I can find where to get spares. Cheers

Oh god no, not Alko.

 

That means the end of Solo quality for sure.

 

The new Solo will be flimsy, light and built to a price, I dare guess.

 

Not letting go of my babies now.
