Solo 611 Model introduced in 1967, 47cc, it's a nice looking
saw, pity it has no compression.

Nice looking saw gmax

Well it has compression now, I managed to get some Stihl piston rings that fit, luckily the bore was not scored, and I managed to get the piston in without breaking any rings . Next problem to fix is there is no spark, hopefully its something simple like a switch.

cheers gmax

It's now running, bad earth was the reason for no spark, total cost
of repair was $26.00 for a pair of rings from the US.
Next project will be a couple of Oleo Macs.

cheers gmax

Hi gmax,
Congrats Wayne, it's a great looking saw, and you got it running sweetly for $26.00; that's amazing!! Are you gonna use this one or is it for the collection?

Hi Darryl,

No I wont be using it, the trouble with old chainsaws is trying to get bars and sprockets for them, this one is for my collection.
