Echo, Stihl or SOLO chainsaw engines?

On the saw itself they have a lifetime warranty. I imagine they must be pretty good if that is the case. I have one of these and I also have a SOLO brand floating around. Stihl is almost a hosehold name in the country here in the US. Anybody have luck with these in friction drive kits? I want to get a fleet of roadsters together this summer..

The warranty on a Stihl is 90 days for a cosumer and 30 for a pro.I used to do tree work and worked for a Stihl dealer.The power heads last forever but you only run them for a few minutes at a time.They are made to run at full throttle, 1350 rpm for the duration of the cut.Stihl claims x amont of hp but they don't state torque.****,try it.

Thanks.. Yeah I will try anything I can get my hands on once this kit gets here. I have a few 35 and up cc engines laying around and some other experimental "craft" I will attempt in spring. I think Echo has a 3 year warranty. Keep the thoughts flowing.. cheers

SOLO's have been around for awhile and were used on ultralight aircraft, they get my vote.

If you can use a motor in an ultra lite then it has consistant torque and cooling.In a woods condition you only run the head for maybe a minute or two at a time and then shut it off and fire it again a moment later.I still have to wonder if you would wind up with a huge rear sprocket for torque.

I guess SOLO has double the Stihl warranty and is much lighter as well. I bought a 350 once and the motor needs work. I should fix n fire that one up on my friction drive and see what it does. Time is the worst part of all of this next to finance.
