echo 600p in san fran

presented as is, guy claims it ain't stolen, echo 600p for three hundred, brand new-cheapest I have ever seen one

STILL NEW, NEVER USED~Echo cs-600p Chainsaw

If anyone buys this RICHEN UP THE CARB, don't do what I did and run it with stock settings...besides that, mine was just great when it was running. Only 4 CCs more than a husky rancher, loads more apparent power. Hard to quantify, but I cut a lot with both and the echo just felt a lot more beefy and strong. I did some big red oak that the 55 rancher choked on. I have no idea how much stronger it would have gotten if the ring had broken in better. Needs richening and babied for a buncha tanks, so patience wins there.The L screw was (apparently to me, but I am a raw rookie tuner) fine stock, the H screw though..not enough, needed turned out more. By the time I found out, too late....Supposedly, according to Brad, Echo "left a lot on the table" if you are into porting. Just be careful if you grind on it, the cheapest P/C you can get is 180 clams...no aftermarket, just OEM, and from any of the AS sponsors it is significantly higher than that..

Here's a little humor for a Friday night!!:hmm3grin2orange:

need to borrow a chainsaw tomorrow

Now that is a good deal! I'll ship him the parts saw 360 Homelite I bought from Chris Thieroff. He can assemble it and get it running. I'll let him use it all week! He can ship it back along with a ten dollar bill!
 
Not on either site but....

My local Stihl dealer (Louisville KY 0 Fern Creek area) has a MS 361 that he is "brokering" a sale on. The owner "lent" it to a friend that straight gassed it. Needs a new jug & plug. My dealer thinks it can be had cheap as the guy is going to but the Farmboss demo saw the dealer has, and just sell the 361 as a parts saw.

Anyway if any one want to check on this, PM and I'll send the the dealer's name & number.

Takng Swings at Golf...

I'm having a heck of a time finding a piston for this thing. Oem is sky freakin high price wise and the only aftermarket I can find is a Golf which I would prefer not to use. I guess I will if I must though.

Any of you Husky guys out there know if the 45mm piston from a 51 is compatible?

You know, i like this industry. The people in it are honest and hard working, and willing to offer assistance whenever they can. Even if they aren't as well informaed as others, they still want to offer their assistance even if they have to make something up that sounds good, or close to a reasonable answer. They just want to help. But others take receiving help as a sign of weakness, which it is certainly not. Life is short, so rather than make a mistake that soemone else has, and waste time and money which are both in short supply these days, why not take what's offered, if only in honest consideration? There are many other companies in the world than the ones we are personally familiar with that offer very good products and services that are considerably cheaper than larger, well-known companies. Aren't we all in the business to make money? Only most of us aren't willing to make it by stepping on the backs of other individuals like some larger companies out there. Now i'm not trashing any company out there at all, but because golf is a bit cheaper compared to factory parts, there is a reason for this: the company that offers the original created the part, whereas the other company is offering a re-created copy of that part. If you want the same quality car part that lasted for 10 years, then go back to the factory and buy the same part from them for 300. If you want a reasonable facsimile for a fraction of the price, go to NAPA, but don't expect the same quality or longevity. Any air-cooled machine can easily overheat and cause irreparable damage to any number of parts. Once overheated, a piston crown, one of if not THE most stressed area of an internal combustion engine- being made of metal btw, will expand. The pin can easily through inertial movement or vibration work it's way out of its seat and into the exhaust port to destroy the engine. You cannot blame this on the part itself, any more than you can attribute this exact cause with 100% certainty. Golf, like any other manufacturer, has defects occasionally. You as a consumer should not attribute this to poor manufacturing processes, just a bad luck of the draw. And usually, when soemthing does go wrong in the process, it's a whole batch of a certain part that's affected, not just one. So to knock a company because of a few negaive occurrances is not very realistic. And simply repeating what you hear from others or even adding their stories to your own, is not very responsible. If business as a whole teaches any of us one thing through history, it's that you generally get what you pay for, and there is no such thing as a free lunch.
