Like Jekyll and Hyde he hides a EViL twin.

One of my bucket list saws bought from the original owner.
It's a little bit different than most.

 

I have the Echo version with a 20” bar. Runs great, lot of fun. Hard to find parts.

 

For the uninitiated....

 

The sounds that come out of the Solo twins are awesome.


Are these similar?

 

What on earth is that coolness?

 

Not to many twin cylinder chainsaws made.

 

I’d like to grab a couple more but every time I see one my wallet stabs me in the heart…

 

Mine sounds like a miniature 70’s snowmobile and has almost no vibration. When idling it just sits there running. No bouncing around. Cuts decent enough. I have a 20” bar on mine but I saw one with a 24”. The ignition components are unobtainable so when they die they’re pretty much sold on eBay for parts. I found a forum with murmurings that there was possibly a way to rig a battery powered ignition module to them but never saw a final result. Posts were probably 10 years old.

My research showed that Echo had planned to make 3 2 cylinder models and after the 610 didn’t really take off they abandoned the project.
