They never told me what was wrong with mine. It went to Chicago and Georgia , and no fix . They sent me a Chinese Makita for a replacement, which I promptly sold. Replaced it with an Echo 501p. Really nice saw light and fast in the wood .

They are all different, some good,some bad. Some want return business some just want your money. The really good ones go the extra mile to make sure you're happy with your equipment.

There was no upcharge when I bought mine.

The 501 did have an 18" bar as standard equipment. I requested the 16" bar and chain as I feel 50 cc saws perform best with this configuration

I also have a Dollmar 5105 with 18" bar 3/8 chain a little heavier but it's a real good saw in the 50 cc category. My 501 is running .325 chain.

It was $459 , I paid $393, with a 16" bar ,it was a dealer day 20% off deal

I have a 501p with a 16" bar it's a good saw light and fast in the wood. A little pricey ,but I think you're gonna like it.

I like to see them with a little brown tinge . Better a little rich than to lean! That pic was from this morning I'll put the tach on it later and go from there.

The bad part about tuning myself is I void the warranty. I have a tach and a pretty good ear but I really didn't want to void the warranty until I make sure nothing else is wrong.

Thanks! Did you look at the pics of the plug ? Looks pretty light to me!

I asked the dealer about the tune when I bought the saw. He said they hadn't tuned the saw but they hadn't had any trouble with them . I asked if I should bring it back after 5-6 tanks and he said that wasn't necessary. Bring it back if yiuythink something is wrong with it.

Tried to post a pic of the plug but it didn't show up.

I have a 501P it's on the 3rd tank of fuel. I'm happy with it so far . I got it with a 16"bar running 20LPX chain . Been cutting Beech tops for firewood. Pretty strong and as fast in the wood as my buddy's Dolmar 421. Light and easy to handle. Did any of you have to retune early? Mine seems a...

I still have a 5105 ,great saw , lots of power ,easy start!!! I bought a new Echo 501p to replace the makita 421. The guy that bought the 421 loves it.

Never ran it!! Sold it !

I have a tach. Manual says 13000-13700 WOT so I'm thinking tune at around 13400-13500. This is just speculation I haven't had my 501 very long.

Did you have to retune after the muff mod??

Theres a different post that covers the failure ,in depth (421 problem) Long story ,short it developed a high idle after 15 months of use.Crank seals/ bearings were replaced , carb replaced, fuel line replaced still wouldn't idle properly.I never heard what the problem was.

Thanks I hope it lives up to my expectations. I got it to take the place of a failed Dolmar PS 421.

Anyone know where or if I can find the service data specs for the 501p. I have it for the 501 sx but Im not sure if it's the same. The sx doesn't have the epa garbage ! Id like to know the tach specs for tuning.
