I'll do a better review on this saw later. For now I'll say all the reviews stating cheap plastic are wrong this thing is built like a tank! It's even got a transparent fuel tank! The wife is gonna kill me when she sees the saw was on the furniture but I just couldn't wait any longer..
Nice looking Echo PP! This will also be the only time it's this clean too. Thats a fine looking saw. Looking forward to your review.
Woo hoo Was a day That sure is Purdy my 445 has a little window to see the gas level, it is nice to be able to take a peek and see how much there is, Now go get it dirty, do you have anything to cut?
Saweeet! Congrats - always feels nice to have a new one! Let us know your thoughts when you get some wood behind her! Cheers!
No I have a bunch of walnut to process and some elm that I cut randoms on to get it before the road crews..... But I get to use the 590 on it.
That's kind of funny, reminds me of when I was a kid, I got a new toy , first thing I did was take it apart
Well the saw has lots power especially in the low end but its seriously bottled up in the exhaust so I remedied that yesterday… It is still good with the muffler stock but like all EPA restricted saws needed some help. I also pulled the carb air fuel caps and took the tabs off stuck them back in and richened it up which helped tremendously…. This saw is a screamer now. First I took the deflector off and s[park screen. I used a dermal to take the reverse baffle out of the deflector. That alone will REALLY help the saw but I wanted to do more than that. Next I opened the muffler itself. The muffler is essentially an open can but there is a tube directing the air flow out forcibly that really had that muffler bottled up bad. I didn't want to open the muffler so I ended up drilling a hole on the rear flat spot of the muffler. Its not obnoxiously loud but it is noticably louder. There is a lot more to come stay tuned!
One other thing that I noticed was the spark plug wire uses a spring rather than a clip which holds the plug very tightly Ill get some pics of this stuff later tonight for you guys. Today is the wife's birthday so we are going to celebrate without my saws!
