Wondering what model this is. Seller has no model#. Pic sucks too. Says it has a new carb and chain (no idea how he go either without a model). Decent "truck saw"? Or TURD?

Yup a CS-302. One of the first light saws from the early 70's. Made until about '79 when the CS-302S took its place. Good saw i have a few of them in Kioritz, Craftsman and JD versions. Some had 25 AP chain and some had the 91S which i switched all of mine over to. Same disp of the CS-315 just had a few more features...Bob

Somebody needs to have a 302 ported, by someone who knows what they are doing, I think there will be surprises.

Just tell me where to send one :). The biggest problem with those small saws is they overheat real bad when its hot out so it will run better ported but won't cut any longer until its hot. I have been running my CS-315 since '77 and its still perfect...Bob

Echo saws have an oval shaped metal tag with the model# riveted to the crankcase, usually under the clutch cover towards the bottom of the saw

Is your memory trustworthy Randy? I mean, like... just sayin and stuff. Never so much as seen one of these but from what I can tell from the vids I can find they aren't worth fixing let alone porting.

Looks a lot like my (mid 70's) 302.
Original carb on mine is a Tilitson, takes a RK-14-HU kit.
No knuckle guard on them back then, but otherwise looks the same.
still running 1/4 pitch chain on a 14" hard nose bar.

Nothing wrong with my memory.
