Echo CS-490 or CS-4910 or ?

That's incorrect. The 4910 is the homeowner version of the 501p.

Not sure about that... The 501 replaced the 4910. The 4920 is a 4910 gutted. There are a few very small improvements to the 4910, air filtration maybe but the important features have been carried over to the 501. The 10s when you can find them new or near new are selling like hotcakes.
I had mine ported, mmod and it is a pocket battleship w a Banshee app.
Just creturned from NC and it was impressive.
The 4910 is NOT a homeowner quality saw.

I think the 4910 replaced the 490 IMO.

501 is the upgraded version of 4910. Like 620 compared to 590.

But 501 and 4910 have same p+c

Local dealer still has 5 4910 for 280 apiece.

That is a steal bc there will be a warranty.....They are performers. The 620 has a real sprocket, not a 590 spur gear, 2mm larger carb and no rev limiter. I think the coil is an upgrade as well.

The 501 and 4910 are/were both available at the same time. 4910 might’ve replaced the 490. 4920 is a homeowner type plastic clamshell strato saw that is replacing the 4910

I was mainly talking about the 4910 590 were listed as their homeowner saws and 501 620 was listed under their pro saws list. Even though all of them built pro grade to me with mag cased crankcases.

I could go even deeper in the 590 620 differences but wont here in this thread. All is saved in another thread already.

590 490
