Some detail pics of the Echo 601S I picked up. She's a funky saw... This is my third 20:1 Echo...
She's a runner, seems solid but the carb needs some work.

Did I mention she is almost the loudest saw I own? The muffler is modded by time...

She's a runner! A 1970 Kyoritsu Echo 301, one of the first Echos sold in the states. She made the round she is sitting on smooth as Smooth can be.

Hehehe we should rename this the vintage Echo thread [emoji3] photo shoot planned this weekend for my girls... They don't get a picture if they can't make the round they are sitting on...

@Mac&Homelite your saw continues it journey. From Ackerman, MS to Jackson, MS to you.

Nice Echo. Seldom seen here in the states.

The suprise awaits gents. Well not really, sure some of you can guess what it is by now. I'm looking forward to it quite a bit. One more for the 50cc range...

Well if it's in the 50cc range, and it's a great saw, must be a Poulan. [emoji28]

I think it's going to be a little...closer to Home...than that [emoji57]

Not quite, although I did like that Poulan 3400 in the trading post, it's a little too nice for my liking. I like a good restoration.

Yes, you got it. Happy now!

Yep secret is out. I bought the Homelite 350. Now I actually own both brands that my username is based off of. The saw is going to be a lot of fun for sure. Did I need it? Not particularly, but I like working on that series of saw and what's one more for the collection!

 

[LonestarStihl]

You'll enjoy it. And I was t 100% til Brandon shared that it shipped [emoji51]

I think I will too. I will certainly learn from all the mistakes I made fixing the last 350 and not make them on this saw. Only over tightened the screws that went into the one plastic part on the saw a couple of times. Stuff was pretty brittle, and was impossible to epoxy FYI.

You know you are supposed to use an impact gun on plastic, that way it will melt the plastic to the screws.

So I replaced my first piston the other day, once I got it back together and the Saw started up and ran I was really proud of myself lol
