Couple questions about a couple Echo saws. I have an CS 306 and a CS 400. Both run just fine. The 306 is a few years old and the 400 is pretty new. Only had if for a couple weeks. The thing that I’m finding about the Echo saws that I don’t like is the carb adjuster limiter screws. How do I deal with them? How do I get them out then how do I tune once their out? I’ll let the CS 400 at the factory recommended setting for at least 5-6 tanks of gas but I want to see how this thing will really run once it’s broken in. In retrospect, I probably should have bought a slightly bigger saw in place of the CS 400.
Muffler mods… I took small baffle off the outlet of the 306. I’d estimate that it change the final exhaust opening from about 1-1/2 inc by ¾ inch to 1-3/4 inch by ¾ inch. I suppose I should measure it…. But it’s noticeably louder with a sharper sound. The real question is, ‘how do I tune it to ensure that I don’t burn it up? How do I deal with those adjustment limiters? I’ll start messing with the 400 in a couple weeks.
Thanks
