I bought this on a lark. I doubt I'll keep it, Id rather sell or use it a partial trade on a XP auto oiler or big direct drive saw.  Homelite410a by Al Michaels, on Flickr |

Those clear caps are known not to like ethanol based fuels. This is what happened to mine.  |

Is the 410 a Solo made saw? To my knowledge no. All USA made. The Solo saws all have some German parts. |

So how is this 410 as a working saw? I may keep it, I thought it was a plastic case, but it appears to be magnesium. 68cc at more than 10,000 rpm seem like it would do some damage. Does it come close to a SXL-925?

Is the 410 a Solo made saw? Tons of speculation about the 410, 540 & 8800 being Solo built but no hard evidence. What I can say about the 540 & 8800 is that they do use a Prufex coil that has "made in Germany" on it. Maybe not Solo built, but I'd sure bet that they are Solo influenced. Fun to speculate! |

Does it come close to a SXL-925? It's comparable to a 925 until you get above about a 30" bar...then the 925 will outcut it based on low end grunt. I use a 410 with a 28" bar pretty regularly for firewood and I like it. |

I had three 410 saws and they where good running saws, a little heavy but smooth running.The intake boot is the only achiles heel. I traded mine and now regret it.

Seems to be lots of intake boots for under $20 on ebay... Personally i like running bigger saws so my opinion on it is slightly scewed. Smooth running saw with good power but at nearly the same weight I always grab the 540.

The boots are still available, the muffler is really restricting with a little opening up they run real nice. I have not run a 540 but mine handled a 32” bar in oak. I’m sure there are other saws that will out pull it with big bars, but when you have a hundred bucks in three 70cc saws you can’t go wrong.
