Echo CS-590 Serial # Location?

[dougand3]

I got a 590 and am trying to look up parts. Where would serial # be?
Other labels are good: EPA shows Aug 2016. UL sticker. Timber Wolf CS-590. Echo on clutch cover and recoil.

Take off the bar/chain and look for a tag.

 

[dougand3]

Bar/chain off - not there. I found a pic of a used crankcase. Sticker SHOULD be above oil fill hole but mine is missing.
If EPA sticker shows Aug 2016, which of the 5 IPLs should I go to?
Or is there a list of: These serials were mfg on xxxx dates?

Right over the bar oil fill

 

[dougand3]

Yes, TY - bar oil fill. Mine is missing. Does Aug 2016 on EPA sticker point to a certain IPL?

 

[HarleyT]

More than likely, all 5 ipls are almost identical.

Echo usa site shows 2 ipls. One revised in 2014 and the other revised in 2017.

Mine is a late serial number and mar 2017 epa sticker. If this helps you out any.

When I ran my serial number there was these option. Mine was the last one.

Thanks so much, guys. If JJ's is Mar 2017 and the C690 IPL, I bet mine is C366 or close enough. My saw is partial payment for some repair labor. It needs a top end and that costs $175. Yawzer!

Yup, a cheap sticker by the oil fill hole. Mine is already falling off.

Check with Nate @fordf150 here.

The one I had got from a guy was set to lean from factory and was scored but still ran fine with 140psi. Guessing was only 9 months old at most.
Only reason I caught it was scored was I pulled muffler to mod.

Pull the carb stops, caps and tune when you do it.

I cleaned this cylinder up and got a new piston kit from Nate.

 

[dougand3]

JJ's looks real good. Mine, not so much. Looks like saw was run lean for quite a while.
