I've been able source genuine Solo parts from a Germany dealer who advertises on fleabay.

 

 

Why does everyone who uses ebay refer to it as 'fleabay' ? :confused1:

 

Much like the people who rave about the bargain tools they bought from 'Halfrauds'? :confused1:

 

You can't please some people...:biggrin:

Now finally got all parts ordered. Good saw but parts far to hard to get, so I dont recommend Solo saws. Air filter is going to cost me £32.50 aswell

I can't understand that either, so much easier to use than Bumtree or Preloathed :lol:

Disappointing to hear how hard it was to get the bits you needed, I'll have to take extra special care of my 646 now I know it could take 6 weeks to get replacement parts should I break anything! On balance I think it's still worth it, I would've had to buy a stihl ms241 if I wanted a comparable saw which would have meant spending another 500 quid or so, I can live with slow parts availability for that saving!

Yeah it is worth it I guess for the price. My 652 is amazing, eats wood no probs. See there going for around £500 now,I got mine for £240 last year.

 

Just wish parts were easier to get and a little cheaper.

 

Going to be extremely careful with it now.

Who's selling 652's for £240 new? :confused1:
