Great looking saw. Interesting air filter arrangement. Do you foresee an issue with the filter sealing around the air box edges ?
I had that concern when I first looked at the 500 but it hasn't been an issue that I have seen.Great looking saw. Interesting air filter arrangement. Do you foresee an issue with the filter sealing around the air box edges ?
Looks like a typical high quality Echo product. Should be a good seller. Highest quality 50cc non pro saw I would say.View attachment 421552 View attachment 421553 View attachment 421554 View attachment 421555
I was hoping it had the automotive type filter
is the muffler on the 490 identical with the 500p.I had that concern when I first looked at the 500 but it hasn't been an issue that I have seen.
It looks identical from the outside although the 500 is painted black. I didn't get a chance to pull the deflector off yet to see if it has the same pipe insert but I would bet it does.is the muffler on the 490 identical with the 500p.
99988800722WSE, I bought the 20" version. Which sharpening kit do I purchase? Not sure what the size is. Would like to know now so I can buy the kit as well when I pick it up today.

Thanks for the info, WSE.
Also to share with the others, local dealer sold it to me with a 20" bar for $314.
This is my first time dealing outside of a big box store, can I ask for any freebies? Maybe buy all the accessories now at a discount?
The best thing about getting it from a dealer is a good one will make sure it's tuned right (not a chance Home Depot will tune it). The CS590 I just got was a demo saw and was actually tuned rich, I'd guess the dealer tuned it. Try and get non ethanol gas and if you have to run the crap keep it fresh and use Stabil or Seafoam. Stevethe only thing i found buying from echo is the red armor oil there is no discount on it.
its liquid gold in a bottle but man does it burn clean.
LOL don't do that as much as I like the 490 it's no 4600! I wish they still built them!I think I will straight gas my CS 4600 so I can order the 490.....
Oh no horizontal split mag case!
