Hello all,
New to the site. Proud owner of a brand new Echo CS 450 saw, was thinking about a Pro saw but not sure if I actually need one yet.
I just had a couple of questions for all you saw guru's out there.
I heard Echo's sometimes run lean right out of the box..anybody have any tips on adjusting the H & L screws on the carb? A lot of people say that you should never tune a chainsaw by ear and you need professional equipment...I don't have any of that so what is my best bet.
Also, anybody know where I can buy a Full Chisel chain for this model? It has a 18" bar. The safety chain it came with definitely serves it purpose, but I need this saw to cut as fast as possible.
I already bought some Stihl ultra oil (silver container) and I going to run a 50:1 mix with 89 octane. Pretty much want to get this thing tuned, full chisel chain, and let her rip.
Any tips/suggestions feel free to let me know...thanks!
