Echo 750evl information.

[ammoaddict]

I just bought this non running 750evl. I know nothing about saws this old. With a serial number of 53, what year would it have been build. It's very dirty, clutch cover is broken. It has spark and seems to have good compression. The fuel line is intact but VERY hard. It will crack if I remove it. It had some very old fuel in it. Very dark and stank to high heaven. Any information will be appreciated.

evl means "electronic"= no points.
Put up some pics of the clutch cover, I'll see if I have anything laying around.

I'll look out in my junk pile. I don't remember seeing anything like that, but I have a bunch of it.

You have number 53 congrats thats an early saw
And I thought mine was old
I'd say first year
You can get an idea by the emissions sticker
The cover is the weak point

The link says yes
Like you said e is for electronic ignition

Would the VL have it's own set of serial numbers/run?

Im not sure maybe you know from stihls?

The serial numbers seem simple and too many 00s in my opinion to be like a car vin

so each model number would have a serial number starting at zero?

Well, I am not familiar with Echo, for sure. Then we must assume that the VL and EVL are two different models then?

I don't know but it appears so. I guess the vl would be points and the EVL would be a new model with a new serial number production run. Does Stihl do that with their numbers? Does a 261 and a 261c have a different set of numbers?

I would think so but as far as I know same except ignition system

Im in the early stages of the chainsaw addiction but been running echo equipment for years

Not a real loss but it gives you rough idea some of my evls have a 79 emissions sticker some 84 or 85

The newer saws and equipment have actual dates like month year

Id clean out the system
You can replace the fuel line with bulk line but the oe lines had bubble ends you will need some kind of grommet to take up the space

The saw has a carb box thats sealed anywhere the lines come through needs to be airtight

The guy I bought my 750 evl replaced the fuel lines but missed the line was letting dust into carb box

I hope I explained that well enough?

Yes got it this year
Its story is it sat on a dealer shelf until the guy died and his son gave the saw to a neighbor
Guy put new lines on it and ran it

I noticed the belled ends on the fuel lines. I've never seen anything like that before. This is the first saw I've ever had that has a horizontal cylinder. It just looks totally weird to me. I'm used to the spark plug on top and the muffler on the front. You wouldn't happen to have a digital copy of a service manual for it would you?
