    50cc Saw questions

    I have an echo 490 as my 50cc saw. It’s not always been this way but seems these days and likely for the foreseeable future I’ll be using the small saw more than the bigger saws. I’ve got it muffler modded, and it tuned properly, but I’ve been craving more power. Are there simple mods I can do...

    Any reason not to drill my own oil hole in new bar

    Looks like I ordered the wrong replacement bar for my Echo 490. The one I got doesn’t have oil holes. I don’t want to be bothered with sending it back etc. any reason not to drill my own holes? Seems very straight forward and probably faster than repacking it to ship back.

    Best place to buy Echo 490?

    Where is everyone finding the deals echo 490's? The only place selling them near me is HD. So with that in mind I would prefer to find a better deal online. Planning to remove carb limiters and do a MM so I'm not going to worry about the warranty. I've heard of people getting them for under...

    How often do you plung cut when felling?

    As a rule of thumb how much lean does a tree have before you decide to use the plung cut/blackstrap method. Specifically fir trees?

    2018 441cm or 372x-torq?

    I’ve done searches and most debates are from 2-4 years ago. If buying a 70cc saw tomorrow which would you buy and why? Dealer support for Stihl is better, I don’t know of a dolkita dealer in 150 square miles so not interested. Difference in cost between the Stihl and husky is about $100. Husky...

    Stihl 361 muffler mod how to.

    I’ve done a few searches and can’t find what I’m looking for. I want to modify the muffler on my 361 to get more power, and to keep things cooler. I love what a duel port did for my 660, but having never modified a muffler I’d like to see how some have successfully done theirs. I’m comfortable...

    i just rebuilt my carb replaced my fuel and Impulse lines. When I tried to fire up the saw first pull felt ok. The 2nd lacking compression and same on the 3rd. Checked compression and it’s ZERO! (I checked the gauge on another saw just to verify it wasn’t the gauge. Pulled muffler, piston looked...

    Tips for installing impulse line on Stihl 026

    after experiencing idling issues in my 026 I decided to inspect the fuel and impulse line. The impulse line had a major crack. So I bought a replacement. The problem is I have caveman hands. Any tips on how to install one on this saw? It’s a much tighter space to work in compared to my bigger saws.
