I'm not to worried about that, I just got the saw so I only have the stock chain for it. The bars did cost a lot though. $177 shipped for the 28" Sugi pro-lite (little Windows in bar)

Thanks.
To advance it the flywheel needs to move ccw on the crank right ? It's been a while since I've played with timing on anything.

Yes, ccw (but check by slowly pulling the starter and watching direction).
A cw rotation, you would remove material from the right side of the key. A ccw rotation would remove material from the left side of the key (as you're oriented looking at the flywheel on the saw).

Copy thanks again I may do it tonight if I have time
Bud im telling you drop the jug first then mess with advancing the timing... higher compression will help more then advancing timing. Unless you want to buy another key just incase. My.02

It may have a cast key too, never been in one.
As far as timing -- a key is there mostly for indexing, friction does most of the holding.
Advance it.
Test
Drop the jug, cut the squish, and port it.

Timing advance is easily reversible.

Echo saws have 30 degree built in advance from idle to full RPM, might not need any more. Steve
Does anyone know whether the Echo models discussed in this thread are made in Japan or the USA?
I see that recently Echo has been making many of its products in the USA, but not sure if that is the case with the 59.8cc saws.
Awesome news that a 3rd big player is now making 60cc saws with magnesium case and outboard clutch! Really old Echos were like that- I own one and like it- but then they made all outboard clutch saws for a while again. No thanks.
Edit: Meant to say new Echos are inboard clutch

Every Echo I own was made in Japan. I consider that a GOOD thing.
Mine all say parts from Japan, I don't know where they are assembled but I would say Japan.
ALSO, for all the Echo lovers, I may be parting with my 620P (was a 620PW but got a new handle...) with dual port muffler and deleted base gasket. Runs great just have plenty of saws and saw projects right now... so thought if it went to anyone might as well be someone in this group... have 20" Oregon or 27" OEM bar for it... if interested please PM me with a number you like and lets see if we can agree

The other thing I REALLY like about Echo is the fact that they are not putting a bunch of parts in their saws that are made in China like some of the others. Japan = QUALITY. And not BMW or Mercedes quality...more like Lexus quality.

590/600/620 have inboard clutch.

600 ran like a top on my trip up this weekend. Big old 4900 out there for play only.
What is the stroke of these?
There is no small spline clutch drums for these is my impression so if you run 0.325 only 9 tooth choice.
How much longer until they offer a stuffed crank version?
Is the vibration and sound data out there?
Are these 300 hour epa rated?
Thanks
Fran
300 hour EPA and 590 comes with spur sprocket the 600 and 620 come with 3/8" typical rim sprocket just like a Husky 372 or Stihl.
They are all large mount bars, not sure why anyone would want a small spline clutch drum...

Is that Tamarack you're cutting?

Yes, and it was for sure dead. Beetle killed.
Sorry about that, original post edited. Got my boards confused. For the record, I detest outboard clutches.
