A Tale of Three Saws

[Wildman1024]

I wonder how my Echo 900 would compare ported next to those saws??? That would be interesting

JT78's self ported the other day

Got more info? Sounds bad

I have a 29cc 290EVL that runs like a 55cc saw bog stock. When it runs Only kidding...

I like Echos and they have a very good reputation around here.

Not to take away from your thread but this 900 I have runs really strong and feels good in the hands. I think with a little port work it would be a real contender against the bigger names. I wouldn't mind seeing an upset or a saw get built that has never been done before

You should get some videos mate in some decent wood and start a thread. People here will be able to tell straight away just how impressive it is and it's got me interested
The biggest Echo I've seen around here was a 550EVL. Lots of smaller newer models around though...

I made some new videos from today. I made some a week ago after the new piston but the bar had a bend in it and wouldnt cut. I put a new bar on it today and got it in some 25" wood. It did well for an 8 pin and being 1 1/4 out on the H needle still

Here is the link to today's videos

Good stuff and nice saw. Heaps and heaps of torque but not sure how it would go as far as cutting speed against newer saws like the 390XP or MS660. One things for sure though it will still be running in 10 years

That saw looks and sounds really good

Did JT78 do a build thread on that here?

I really don't know. All I know is that you can't run it without your smile touching your ear on either side. LP proved that in the video. Awesome saw. He put a 28" bar on it later and it cranked through some big wood too.

Nice pictures and videos tiger rag.

 

[Andyshine77]

I honestly didn't know if the 7900 would keep up with the 8 pin, It's definitely one of the strongest 7900's I've ran.

BTW, Frank no I haven't ran your saw yet.

 

[mdavlee]

Are they ported yet?oke:

 

[Outlaw5.0]
