As many of you know, Echo recently released the CS-2511T. This is the lightest top handle saw you can buy. I am a die-hard Stihl guy, but when this came out, I had to have one. Let me tell you, I'm not disappointed! This saw is great for everything but the largest removals. It weighs 5 lbs and...
Hi All- new to AS, first post...
I have a practically new, Echo CS352. Right around 6 tanks through it now. Pulled the limit screws, pulled the cat out of the muffler. Only 8.8lbs, 34cc saw it's a good runner... as a one saw show here, I really need something with more power.
Want to trade...
Hi Folks,
New to site. I have been running an echo cs-370 and a shidiawa 577 for occasional trims and removals, along with a few weekends a year of wood splitting parties. I picked the saw up something near 10 years ago and other than heavy cutting the cs-370 is my go-to saw.
The end of last...
Hi everyone
If you were to buy a saw in the 60 range, would you go for the Echo 620,
or for a slight increase in weight would you opt for the 7300.
To fill the gap between my 50 cc saws and the 7900.
I realise the Echo is heavy for its cc 's, but it does seem to have torque
that keeps it...
Hi everyone
Just wondering what 18" Oregon or Carlton bar in .325 pitch by .058" gauge
would fit the Echo CS-501 saw.
I can not find any refferences other than to some 3/8 or .050" bars.
Thanks, john
Hi guys. Recently ran over my CS-490 and it is out of commission for the time being (need to get some parts, but it will live). In the meantime I picked up a CS-550p. I know it's not a popular saw due to power:weight ratio, but I actually prefer a heavier saw and I got a great deal on it. That...
I picked up an older CS-302 as a project, figuring I would put it through some light use clearing out smaller trees and limbs in my overgrown backyard. The previous owner used it but once or twice a year and it had been sitting for some time, it didn't start or run when I first got it. It's...
Hey guys. Brand new member here. (And fairly inexperienced chainsaw user, too, as you will soon learn by my newb question.) I recently bought a echo cs 800p for chainsaw milling and noticed there is a thin metal x shaped piece on the front of the muffler (held on by hex screws) that covers 2...
Howdy,
Been a little while so I thought I would post today's shop fun. My trusty little Echo CS-341 was in need of some spring maintenance so I took the opportunity to upgrade the muffler. This saw came with a catalyst muffler which always has seemed restrictive. Turns out the CS-3400 saw...
should i sell my trusty MMed 530 echo chainsaw to get a new maryann 51v / dolmar 5105 clone?
or should i just keep the echo??
or just sell the echo and pocket the money for the important things in life like ammo and beer???
OK I have read a lot of threads on here about the echo CS-590.
It has the 20" bar pitch is 3/8, gauge is .050, 70DL
I live in an area where the shops and stores don't really stock that size in full chisel, and when I in a jam I can't even find a regular 70dl on the shelf around these parts.
I...
anybody bought one of Hutzls 40cc echo clones?
i'm not totally sure of what an echo 420 is but on the parts web it looks a lot like a cs-400
i bet it don't have a cat---
Anyone have any good pics of the muffler? Specifically is the cat central to the muffler like the cs-400, or is it offset like the cs-450? Is it easy to put a good muff mod on this one?
Thanks.
Hello all,
Long story short, I bought an Echo 450p and am using it to try my hand at modding a saw. This may be a little drawn out as I'm going to work on it as time allows.
Initial plans are to record a baseline, muffler mod, base gasket delete, possibly cutting cylinder down, port and...
Hello all I'm new to arboristsite. I'm looking for any advice on where or how I can get a full wrap handle for my echo cs-800p. I tried to fit the wrap handle from the cs-620pw but it is too small. Any help is appreciated
well went into thiesens today to pick up a couple of things, and over in the clearance Isle is an orange saw. pick it up and it's an echo cs-450P with a 50% off sticker on it. air filter doesn't have any dust in it, has a few shavings here and there and had a 3/4 tank of gas. almost started it...
Hello all - I have read quite a bit on this forum and I am now going into a tail spin. So, this post might seem a little straight and to the point and in no way is meaning to sound rude. I am at the tail end of felling 100 (+/-) trees on our lot. I had four massive oaks taken down by a pro (I am...
Just got the saw here on the forum, thinking it'd be nice to put a chain brake back on it.
Need the brake band and linkage, it has the flag.
Thanks,
Anthony

I bought this saw from a member here a few months ago, and have ran it just long enough to tune it.
