    Best Echo Chainsaw

    Echo makes a lot of good saws. And I believe 590 is the best selling saw in the Echo fleet. It’s excellent for weekend warriors etc. 590 is a bit larger than most homeowner saws and they do stand up well. Their 5 year warranty says a lot. Pro’s would pick the 620P over 590 for performance and...

    Bar Size for Displacement

    I mounted a 24” Power Match bar on my Dolmar 5105H...not for larger trees though. It sure saves a lot of bending…wish I had thought of this years ago ! As well, I run a skip chain.

    Stinky oil?

    Another vote for Red Armor...highly recommended. All the guys around here get it in the 1 litre containers. We call it Cherry Whiskey :)

    CS 490 Or CS 501P?

    I bought a 501P, am really glad I went the extra and have never looked back. It's now pulling 3/8" LGX with authority :numberone: The aluminum handle, rim sprocket, captive nuts and translucent fuel tank were definitely worth it. More power and lighter weight = win WIN !! And I'll certainly...

    Laser bars

    For 10 card a year an Oregon Power Match would be a good choice. In Laser this would = "Forestry Pro" line. Same bar nose pattern and price advantaged over Oregon. Their "Ultra" series as mentioned previously are actually Tsumura, the real deal. Even better quality and discounted pricing...

    50cc saw with best power to weight?

    Just checked and confirmed Echo 501P MSRP is $629.95 in Ontario. If you look around some dealers will offer 15% off on their annual "One Day Sale."

    How to replace 501sx sprocket plz

    The nut needs to turn CW for removal. You'll likely have to immobilize the piston with a piece of starter rope to be successful. Lots of threads on here explaining the procedure. Let us know how it goes :barbecue:

    50cc saw with best power to weight?

    I believe Echo 510P is the lightest saw today in 50 cc class. Yes, they can pull 3/8 LGX all day. Will also be priced below Stihl 261.

    We All Have That One Saw........

    There's nothing in the stable that doesn't provide pleasure... But here's another vote for Dolmar 5105H and of course the 7900 :)

    The surface hasn't been machined, still a rough texture.

    Chainsaw chain feels like its binding

    Check to see if your drive sprocket is centred, sounds like it may be lopsided.

    Walbro #176-64 looks very similar and will fit 1/8" hole.

    What is required by your go to saw to remain the one

    In the winter months my go to saw would have to have heated handles...so then it's my Dolmar 5105H. Otherwise Echo 501P is a lightweight little powerhouse (now pulling regular 3/8 chisel) and is everything I seek in a saw. When the work is either larger or smaller we'll select accordingly but...
