'15 Echo CS620PW Information

[Idahonative]

Got the 620 put back together. After months of not messing with it its always fun trying to remember where it all goes but once she had fuel it popped right off. Sounds good and runs well... ran the 385XP a good about yesterday and its an animal but I really like the way the 620 feels.View attachment 463369

Hey Reed, what's your 620 blowing on the compression gauge?

Don't know, I have an extension on mine so everything says "50 PSI" lol

I'm going to beat SawTroll & Haddick to it and say: Sounds about right for an Echo.

It isn't a PRO saw by ASers terms but it does well... Hope to take it out this weekend. We will see! What you up to.

BigBlock where are the videos?

Definitely not a PRO saw but awfully close to a Farm Boss or Rancher...LMAO.

BTW: If you get out this weekend, get us some vids...we need our fix.

 

[Big Block]

I'll do some tomorrow if I can get the light. I've been slacking. At least by the weekend.

Hi Mr. J, how are you today?

 

[BGE541]

So just checked 620 w/o base gasket is at 170PSI with my well used gauge so up from 154PSI stock. not a bad bump up plus could loose .010" off the squish still...

What's the stock gasket thickness? And what's your actual squish? .026?

 

[Big Block]

Stock gasket thickness is .010 compressed

 

[Big Block]

My 590 no gasket is .028
150 psi compression at 5000 feet
172~ psi at sea level

BUMP!!!
been busy busy lately no time for piss revving video. My parents furnace gave up the ghost on turkey day so I busted out the 590 and 555.
590 freaking screams way more torque and flat out cuts faster but.......it is modded. It is heavier it is louder. The 555 handles better in the small stuff it is quiet it is more more conservative on fuel it is also stock. I think it needs a wrap to keep it from rolling over damn I hate that. Every time i went to pick it up it was on its side drove me nuts. Drives my brother nuts so he is on the hunt for a wrap his idea not mine. All in all both good rigs just do different thing better.

The only other handle available for that saw is a 3/4 wrap which wont help with the saw tipping over.
The large felling spikes work well to keep that saw saw from tipping over.

Put the outer felling spike on it and they are stable as can be. Never have had a problem with my 555 being tippy. My 2152 is another story, but i fixed that.

One saw that is ok with everything is great at nothing.

They all seem to have their own gaps in the armor, don't they.

Ok, did 8 straight hours of felling, limbing and bucking today. One tank through the 440 Stihl (til the torx for the 3/4 wrap stripped out of the gas tank) then 3 and change through the 620. If did great today, at first I have the rakers a little low (.032") with a 30* angle on full comp. Saw did great I really like it still, the base gasket mod def gives it a little more pop. Had some cool tree;s... even did two pines that grew together (2 stumps 12" apart) hopefully I will get the video from my buddys phone. Either way here is a video of a pine I fell today, pretty busy and phone died fast but ill get more soon... When the Echo gets in the cut shes sounding pretty good!

I agree, yet I'd rather have a saw that's great at everything (since I do a bit of everything... not just felling, limbing etc) then a saw that's great at ONe thing... flexibility is a great asset.
