Coming soon...Echo Saw Builds

I acquired a nice used echo from Sawdust Man and I'm planning on doing some enhancements to it over time.



Starting with the immediate removal of the carburetor shackles.

 

Pirated pics.....

Subbed anyways.

 

That's gonna be nice

 

Yes sir. Robbed you blind. Lol

 

I took a couple piston pics while I had the muffler off to study my modification plans. Beautiful.

 

I'll do my best.

 

You’re the right man for that saw

 

howd ya get those limiter caps off the carb. Are they the same as the old on you could use a drywall screw on?

 

They are not, no. The metal needle is exposed in the center. The locks are splined to the needles. I lined up the "nub" with the slot and used a sharp pair of needle nose pliers to extract them.

 

I got my first run in with the 4010 today. I cleaned the filter and greased the mating surfaces, as they don't appear to seal well enough without to keep fines out. I swapped on my 16" sugihara bar and Stihl pico full chisel. Tuned the carb and made some cuts in cherry thats been down for 3 months. The second cut was through a large knot sticking out the opposite side.

Im pretty impressed for a stock, 40cc, consumer grade saw. Thats red oak.

 

Go here to see what this saw did today. I have to upload the pics yet.

Storm damage clean-up

 

Is that a 16" bar you put on there? I just ordered a 16" Tsumura for the Jonsered that's inbound...

 

As far as I know, it's considered a 16". I haven't measured to see if thats usable length or a Stihl type measurement where a 16" is a closer to 14" usable length on their small mounts. I can measure it when I weigh it tomorrow.

 

I was just curious; looks awesome on there either way

 

Thanks bud.

 

Well...not a 16" lol. I measured from the feeling dogs on the one side.
