Husky 346 NE Echo 501

That's impressive. Is it actually dynoed at 7hp, or was that number just tossed around?

How long will the top and bottom end actually last running at those high rates?

It made that power for a very brief rpm range, which isn't what you want in a work saw.

Gary builds a mean echo 501

I have a question for the knowledge base here. In this video the saw is making a popping sound in the cut. What's causing this? The reason I ask is I have an MS361 that does the same thing. My assumption is it's slightly on the rich side, but maybe a timing issue? Thanks.

Being I am into helping others no matter what brand of saw they run and not belittle them like some in this thread like to do.

501 should be unlimited coil. 361 should be too.

I went to ask Buxton for ya. Because I have a 490 that does that and always thought it was hitting the limited coil in it or plug.
Sometimes it dont do it.

What Gary thought on that video. = 501 Probably a little rich and just sounds like that on camera. I’ve never heard one of those break up or detonate.

Love the cult like following of the 351 353 346 saws. Makes them easy to sell for me with their 25 year old technology.

Believe it or not some of us love the old technology even if on new saws sold today.

A morning laugh I made for a friend that buys most of my 346's etc from me.
