Hey, Fuzz, if you are going to convert a 261 to a 262, I posted a tutorial on everything you need to do. It is on here somewhere, the saw in the...
Well I Have a 55!
Also, if I can get the C/P from Solo, I will use that. Rumor has it that there are porting differences between the Solo 681 and Dolmar 7900 cylinders.
HDRock; I'm sorry, did you have a question about what I said?
Spoke to Solo in VA this AM, they actually HAVE the crank in stock and are shipping today! Can't believe it, also asked if the 681 top end kit was...
76cc! LOL more like 26!
In 1976 I was in Rio, Brazil working for Xerox.
Gearing does not change the saw at all, it just makes the saw more suitable to your current purpose. The same reasoning is why your 4X4 has 4L,4H...
Normally if the engine has enough torque to pull the taller gearing, no problem however some saws can't pull the tall gears because of low torque....
A retired saw racer above, watch the seconds on the video and see how fast Kevin cuts three cookies off the stick, if you can count and keep track...
Not to mention the fact that the saw would be extremely unweildly, and all the other stuff you mention. Although they did do it, look at a Strunk!

There was a guy 'chainfinn' on AS when I used to go there, who was dying to get his hands on a 262XP. Evidently in Finland the government has some...
Considering a Tecomec (Italy) P/C kit from WEM for a 246 to 242XP conversion to run against my 543. We'll see!
I like Randy use a LOT of AM gasket/seal sets. Same feelings on OEM and Meteor pistons, Caber rings and OEM. Have been doing a lot of tuned pipes...
Increasing the bore can do two things increasing the bore in a square engine will move the engine toward under square and increase RPM, increasing...
Mdavlee, correct, Solo jug P# 22-00-522 current price $236.00. And IIRC you have to putz around with the muffler. Might call Solo on Monday to see...
Actually the spacer is raising the jug to get back to proper stock timing, so there should be no loss in compression. Since the crank has 0.03937...
Correct Jon1270, it should give about 2cc more displacement and because of the 1mm longer stroke increase torque. There have been all sorts of...
Been reading and been pestered by one customer to build a saw with a stroked crank. The Solo branded versions of the Dolmar 64/73/7900 saws used a...
