Update....I'm going to talk with my machineist buddy on Tuesday and see about cutting 10 thou of the jug. While I'm at it ask him to make me an offset flywheel key to advance the timing.

More research will need to be done but it's going to happen. :rock:
 
Id drop the jug and leave the timing alone it if were me, they already have timing curves built in, between changing port timing AND advancing ignition timing even more you may not like the outcome, but these are just my thoughts :) TAKE PLENTY OF PICTURES! :)
 
Most definitely taking pictures. Ya I've read a little timing goes along way on saws so I need some more information on it. Everything I have read is it seams to help. After I do the jug and maybe the timing. I'd really like to get it ported by rattler. And maybe the 620 carb later on.
I know all that seams like a waste to some but it's cheaper then selling it at a loss and buying a 620

Idahonative have a video / review on that 800p? Been looking into getting one.

It's still in the mail...hahaha. Was planning on running it with just a MM and tune but have now changed my mind. The 800p is so new, there isn't much info out there on it. Yes, it's a revised cs8000 but it appears Echo has re-designed the top end. Reports on the 8000 are typical of Echo: TORQUEY, and will run close to the 90cc's with basic mods. The 800p should only be better.

Unfortunately, I'm not going to get any time on the saw since it now has an appointment in March:). I decided on getting it ported after doing what little research I could. Now don't hold me to this because, as of now, it's all speculation but...I think the 800p may very well have a chance of performing above the level of a stock 661 or 390xp. At least that's my hope...if it doesn't turn out that way, oh well, nothing lost. I will still have a saw capable of taking care of the big stuff when it comes along.

Interesting, when looking at:

cs800p: PHO: 16 lb, 8 oz. Fuel: 28.9 oz. Oil: 14.1 oz. TTL: 19.18 MSRP: $829.99

390xp: PHO: 16 lb, 6.8 oz. Fuel: 30.43 oz. Oil: 16.91 TTL: 19.38 MSRP: $1,120.00

ms661: PHO: 16 lb, 11.2 oz. Fuel: 27.9 oz. Oil: 12.2 TTL: 19.20 MSRP: $1,289.95

I'm sure I will get flamed for even mentioning the 800p in the same sentence as the 390xp and 661. But, the truth is (to my knowledge), no one really knows. The 800p is new and hasn't been looked at in this way. Like I said, if it doesn't work out like I think it might, nothing lost.

EDIT: Sorry Reed, this post is off your OP...but at this point I kind of consider this a generic "Echo Thread":).
 
Nice!
It's between an 800p or a jonsered 2172w for my next bigger saw.
I'm actually excited I think I just found out that Sugihara makes bars for the echo 620pw ( and others of course ).
They make a 28" that says it fits the 620sx so I'm assuming it's the same mount. Might order me a 28" and a 20" :rock2:

Probably deserves its own thread but I like it when the pot is stirred up. Like the ported 600P, it may very well be an eye opener.

You just need to shave half the key (around .025") which should be between 6-10 degrees.

No need to go more.

Make sure you shave the correct side so you get advance, not retardation.
