    Yeah I know. I could push on the 665 a little more than the 372. I may have found a new favorite firewood saw.

    Best times =
    372-14.5
    Solo-16.9

    That Solo is no slouch..
    Neither is the 372.. It sounds healthy... like a 372 should..

    That's what I got for them. Not bad for the 7900 to be in the 9.8 range or so. That Solo is going to get stronger as it gets more run time. It's got a little over 2 tanks now.

    No way I'd keep one in a box. If I had 2 possibly. Mine didn't have the 60 year sticker on it any way. Might as well use it.

    I love my 665.....for being stock it's for sure strong. I had to watch that video several times to see the much of a difference, since I'm on the phone...

    The Solos certainly sound different than almost anything.
