I love twins! 2 stroke twin cylinder chainsaw Solo 610 & Echo 610 evl

Quick video for Curt who is out with covid. Here is an update on the twins! As you can see from the video we lost a clutch drive bearing there at the end on the solo.

[@clinkerclint]

That was so freaking cool. I didn't even know Solo made a twin and it sounds amazing!

[@rainbowboa100]

i been a saw mechanic and a tree man for forty years, never seen one before, cool!

[@mikeduwe]

Echo is painfully loud. Solo sounds sweeeeeet!

[@spencerh2860]

This 100

[@ACL9000]

It can be difficult to develop a tuned expansion chamber with a Y-pipe, but it would make these saws sound insane. Multi-pipe is cool, but any time you can combine the sound from multiple cylinders into one outlet it gets even better.

[@eastcoastozzy2884]

Great vintage saws, fun to watch!

[@anonymously241]

I love the sound of two stroke engine 👂👂

[@Bigcheif360]

Once the solo gets a tune up it looks like it’s going to be a decent saw.

[@mudpuddle8805]

That parallel twin sounds so sexy! I need that to be the alarm sound on my phone.

[@cecilkoselke7878]

I'm a saw guy, but dang, more exited about that 660D in the line!

[@southernfirewood2533]

That is a nice saw very interesting I bet there hard to work on

[@oceanheadted]

Thanks for the video, good to see these designs!

[@dfairfull2542]

Sweet sounding chain saws!

[@aequitas8749]

Sounds amazing

[@garylarson6386]

I am 73 and a dewalt 24 volt chain saw has saved my shoulder and arm, hate all two cycles

[@stevenlaxton3618]

Great now there’s more saws I want.. 😂

[@steelcityperformancesaws]

nice man this is the video I've been waiting for! fascinating \for sure..

[@obbyjep7597]

They sure make good noises

[@carbonconnection2480]

*I'm not a tree guy but I'd go solo all day!* 🤘

[@rdaystrom4540]

In the 1960s lots of twin 2 stroke motorcycles. The best sound came from the triples. Kawaski and Suzuki triples.

[@rockymountainchainsaw]

Yeah..so true. I have a kawasaki h2 I should do a video on it.

[@user-cs1ko6wr4q]

Great saws.

[@mikeduwe]

I have a JD Twin. Mastemind modded a Echo/Jd twin and he sent it out to have the crank welded as I guess they have a tendency to spin when you add power

[@nateolmsted899]

That’s bad ass

[@overbuiltautomotive1299]

twins rock

[@Chris-mk5qs]

A 2 stroke symphony

[@peterjohn3180]

You forgot to say that the opposed piston saw fires both cylinders at same time as they share crankcase usually, it looks like the centre line of cylinders is quite close and it's usual for OP 2 strokes.
The inline fired every 180 degrees that's why it sounds so different.
Really the OP saw could have a 2 into 1 and a single expansion chamber.
Be good if you could have twin carbs?
Don't know how you would set them up though?
I want one.
Perfect for a scooter!

[@jasyamaha]

Awesome

[@billhazard4946]

Never seen a small twin, we had a big twin at the farm big ole opposing twin like a Wisconsin about a 6ft bar with a handle on the end of bar, wish I would've held on to it, don't have a clue what happened to it. That's been 55-60 yrs ago

[@rockymountainchainsaw]

Dang thats cool. Do you remember what model it was?

[@billhazard4946]

Too many yrs, mid 60s engine was opposing twin, two handles like handlebars probably 16 to 20 wide,should go to the farm if can see if it's still in toolshed I used to Milk there in late sixty's, don't know if anyone's living there anymore might get shot!!!

[@Jesse-pz5fe]

I want one but their hard to find and expensive when you do.

[@supersportimpalass]

The saw you are calling an in-line twin is actually what you would call a parallel twin.

[@mikeduwe]

Same thing there guy.

[@rovolet6822]

Also known as an upright twin

[@johnhabeck6153]

How heavy are they ?

[@ernestjoiner3040]

This gives me a kooky idea.. mount a Banshee engine onto a wheel barrow frame (tub removed), fit crankshaft with chainsaw clutch, fabricate/fit bar mount/manual oiler, add a longbar that semi- balances everything over the wheel, and voila- Handlebar Chainsaw on STEROIDS!? I think that you should call it Captain Insano. I see it being the most unwieldy, cumbersome, and impracticable powersaw ever created *YET MOST AWESOME!

[@rockymountainchainsaw]

I'm working that exact project right now. You read my mind!

[@gentilejoshsaved1646]

I ran cpi pipes on my 02 800 doo.

[@mikeduwe]

Solo is a 611 not a 610 fyi.

[@olhemi1]

Cool 😁👍☕

[@rickybailey7123]

It's lean the reason it's not idling back down put the fuel 2 it before u lock it up killing it

[@natepat250]

I second this observation. Find the dead cylinder and that's likely the one that lean. One kept dropping out

[@gavmansworkshop5624]

Throw a bigger sprocket maybe 8t and up. My 100cc stupid build thrived 👍

[@johnvrbka570]

Mcchullah made 2 cylinders also

[@darrellepickering8433]

I worked on those Echos when new. Essentially they're 2 302 Echo motors back to back. 61cc, heavy for the size & wouldn't handle a 2' bar good. Very smooth but the cooling areas had a habit of plugging up. Very expensive also. Echo later used that engine as a sprayer converting 1 cylinder as a pump, it didn't sell well either. Used to have ignition parts for 'em.

[@thienhuynh5893]

I need mobin 611 😭

[@zshan1895]

Poor solo 4 strokin

[@jaxxonbalboa3243]

This is by far the most stupid thing that I have seen done to a chain saw!!
