    You can get non replaceable tip bars un marked for around 12-18$. Also try www.leftcoastsupply.com, they have a big sale going on with GB bars.

    First, Thank you for asking.

    "Fine as Frog's Hair". The Cardiologist wanted to do the heart cath bc of the symptoms I have described as having are ones for a heart attack, the fact that I failed a stress test, I have young children and am Sole Provider, and that I am a Commercial Driver. Said the heart cath was the "Gold Standard" and if he found anything..... he would be able to fix it right then and there. All good news, my heart is perfect, he saw no issues and said "no worries for a long time". Im happy to hear that, but it still leaves me with symptoms and back at square one with no answers. He told me not to go to work for 2 weeks to allow the artery to heal and he used the star closure appratus so I wouldnt have to lay there 4 hrs.... instead only 1 hr.
    Im going to look into alternative medicine (herbs) and such to see if I can do a total body cleanse. I met a Herbalist while setting up a storage building for her last week, that said with me moving around on the ground digging for block, crawling up under buildings, doing repairs and cleanouts on repos, that I for sure have exposed myself to parasites and worms over the last 10 years. (Ever see the medical show "Monsters inside of me"?) She said it is as simple as wiping your eye, or touching your nose, mouth, etc. I'm gonna try this natural body detox she recommended. (cant hurt) I've had a very weak cough for 6 months. My Doctor said it was allergies but it's not what it is. I have been taken 4 different allergy medicines and a nasal spray for 5 months with no improvement. I cant speak without coughing... and there is no phlem or drainage.

    Just a really strange 6 months. Ive always been extremely healthy and stay in shape. Have always joked that "I am not of this world" (which drives my wife crazy.... but it's funny). Now Im realizing Im more human than I orig thought.:startled::D

    Don't let those guys start testing for allergys, they did that to a friend of mine and ruined his heart! It seems that the medicines they were using lowered the oxygen absorbtion level of his blood making his heart work overtime to provide enough oxygen for his body, which enlarged his heart to half or two thirds of his chest cavity. Now totally disabled because some idiot who paid for a degree thought they could stop him from sneezeing!

    You and I pay for our mistakes, doctors bury theirs!

    First two saws showed up today (spoken for) The other 7 should be here by end week. along with two little gifts a new non-decomp 681 OEM P/C kit and a new OEM 681 stroked crank. While you guys are enjoying your new saws I am going to be turning a Dolmar 6400 into a 681.

    Now I understand why the saws were in quantities of 2, there are two saws packaged individually in each factory shipping carton.

    Who knows Fuzz, just building one for laughs! Probably not going to run it at all, I am doing another tutorial just like the one I did for converting a 261 to a 262XP. Only this one is how to convert your Dolkita to a stroked 81cc saw.

    Is it one box with 2 saws? Or does each saw have its own sealed box?

    There are two individually boxed/sealed saws in each carton. That is why I think they said in lots of 2, because they did not have to open cartons and ship saws, just slap on a label and send it out.

    Don't worry Dexter you will get a factory new saw in a sealed box.

    I ran a 681 this past weekend. :) Let's just say I was impressed. I think it had 220 lbs of compression? And no decomp.. :hair: You had to be ready to pull it :)

    Works out like this all Dolmars and all Mikitas 6400/6401, 7300/7301 and 7900/7901 are in fact Solo manufactured saws. Except Solo held a little back to distinguish themselves. Their saws have exactly the same bore the Dolkitas have, except Solo uses a 1mm stroked crank in their saws giving them slightly larger displacement 665, 675 and 681 being 65cc, 75cc and 81cc respectively the increase in displacement is a product of the stroked crank. Additionally because of the stroked crank the Solo saws produce more torque than the Dolkitas. Also on the samllest saw Dolkita 6400/Solo 665 The Dolkita has open ports and the Solo quad closed ports.

    So to put this in perspective for you, all the Solos use the 1mm stroked crank, The crank alone from Solo is $300 purchased as a spare part(I know I just bought one). The Solo 681 P/C kit is $236.00 as a spare part $536.00 plus ship and applicable tax. So the jug and crank alone cost more than one of these saws and they are complete saws.

    It now becomes clear why Mastermind and other builders are after them. In fact these first two are going to Randy Monday the 14. Then two more to Adam32 and 1 to Aclarke.

    I'm starting to get a "Spidey Sense" for unique and favorable deals like these. Too bad my wallet isn't keeping up. Would have loved to have one of these.

    The rare and unique factor are the only reasons I wanted one. Not many of them (at least around here) and if they have almost a 1/2 HP over a 6400/6401? Then I had to have one ;)
