Guy said he wants to trade a new echo 2511PN. So when new 4910 gets here. I am to get it out. Check over.
Test it stock and check tune where at stock.

Then muffler mod and retune and test. Then ship it off.

Amazing stuff.

4910 I took on trade to go with the 2 501’s and hack ported 490.

Swear never even made a cut before.

All they need to keep fines out is this nickle o-ring. You can add grease to base of af mount too but didnt see a reason to to date. Been doing this on these since 2022.
So one going in right away too.

Echo 4910 PHO weight dry and like new clean.

The both tanks filled up PHO

Then both tanks filled up and 16" oregon versacut 325 050 C33 chain.

4910

Tune was so off from factory again. Idle 4400, lazy bogging L Side to lean. H to fat in Mid 11’s again.
So a real Turd if someone bought it to use. As is. Smh.

I’ve had 2 now I would throw if tried to use the way they came. Horrible not usable at all.

 

[RedneckChainsawRepair]

Another load of parts came in. Only 1 more part in route, if I guessed right in my mind parts needed.

I traded that 4910 I just got in for a 2511PN with Egan pipe myself.

WILD gains for just a pipe!

WILD gains for just a pipe!

Echo mufflers are stuffed up on some models.

Least the clone 2511 by v-modest is a open free flowing muffler with little pipe already stock.

 

[RedneckChainsawRepair]

Someone put my little echo inside a stihl box so it wouldn’t get stolen on way here.

All in jest guys.

No certain order just copied to share.

Looks like my 576xp muffler. Just drilled a 5/8" hole through the baffle and it flows so much better. Really woke up the saw

Echo 2511 rear handle PHO weight dry 2511PN

Echo 2511 rear handle PHO weight both tanks full

Echo 2511 rear handle both tanks full. 12" 325 043 narrow kerf chain weight as used

Egan pipe was already installed for these weights.

Only wording this this way because guys in another group was saying they just love plastic handles.

For those guys that were saying they just love the plastic handle stuff better on 4910 490.
Well here is your chance to own a plastic set cheap.
Shipping prob cost more.

Echo 501 rubber coated set put on that vibrating plastic handle saw.

All fasteners used on the plastic handle have to be shortened to use with the better lighter metal handle. For the 490

 

[RedneckChainsawRepair]

If the open port clone had the 325 043 or the 3/8LP 050 set up with Egan pipe I think it would be real close.

I run the 1/4" 043 mini micro for smooth pruning cuts. Watching the sides of cuts the 325 043 narrow kerf is going to do this too.
Not all chattering like 3/8LP does.

Plus gave me a chance to cut some apple wood for the smoker.
I also cut on the bigger wood their setting on too.

I will be buying the V-modest rear handle when it comes out.

Guy I traded 4910 to said 4910 fastener same length as 501 used for handle.

So didn’t need shorten like 490 did. To use metal 501 handle

I love my 4910 and don't have any problem with the plastic handle on a homeowner saw. The only thing I don't like about the 4910 is the 'black' colored side panels. Much rather have orange. But really love the saw. Thanks for the info on the o-ring for the filter. I ordered one.

Lot of folks feel the vibrations bad through the plastic handles.

Some guys said they even quit using them because it was so bad.

If they would have used coil spring antivibe it would not have been as bad as the rubber av they used.

I switched a metal rubber coated handle to my plastic handle saw. I could feel the difference in it. So the 490 got a whole 501 rubber coated set.

Did you see where there is a SAE size that fits too. 4 cents a piece.
