My BIL called me last week about a downed maple at a building is sister owns. I was a good chance for me to run a couple saws I just finished. It was a good sized maple and my choice to bring mid/high 50cc saws was appropriate. I brought along my echo CS 4600, Dolmar PS 540, and Poulan Pro 330.
Ritchie had his husky 460 and a poulan 3700 custom I gave to him a while back.
I started with the echo first, this was my first run with it and the carb needed some fine tuning, I lost my screwdriver in the leaves so I only made a few cuts with it. I DID fine tune it when I got home and it is a fine runner. I always bring my Dolmar cause it always runs great, that saw is fun to run, balances well and I think the 3/8"/16"is the best combo.
My biggest surprise was the 330. I got that saw on ebay as a low hour runner, its pretty much brand new as far as I can see. I bought the new bar and swapped it over to 3/8" from .325. That saw is an animal. Super fast, low vibes and just fun to run! I know some had carb issues, mine doesnt. The muffler is stock, Ive heard opening the muffler up really helps.
Was a good time, the saws ran good and we have some nice free maple:msp_smile:
The saws today, Echo not pictured.
