Hi Joanie<br /><br />I found a mention of your motor on http://www.solo-germany.com and saw a mention of Solo Inc in Newport News, Virginia but have had no luck finding much further info. They are located in a building complex with the following website;<br /> http://www.asite4u.org/sites/copeland.html <br /><br />Good luck!<br /><br />

<br /><br />1980<br />SOLO takes over the production of outboard motors from the Swedish company VOLVO-PENTA and develops, as well as manufactures, a new and compact outboard motor.

I just picked up a Solo 840 6hp at an auction for $10, with leaking fuel line and no spark, so I'm working on it.<br /><br />But I have the info for you. Solo USA's parts order desk is (757) 245-5531, and you can call there to inquire about parts for this discontinued motor series. <br /><br />I also got a free owners manual from solo by logging on to www.solousa.com, hitting the "contact us" link, e-mailing them my inquiry and including my mailing address. What I got is a photocopy of the original manual, but it's perfectly legible. <br /><br />Good luck.<br /><br />Steve Foss<br />stfcatfish@yahoo.com <br />------------------------------------------------------------------------
