    '15 Echo CS620PW Information

    Hey guys, stopped in my local Echo dealer to get a price on a cs-620pw. The saw is listed in the Echo 2017 catalog, but not on any of their price lists. They told me that means Echo is discontinuing the model. Y’all think that is true, or does my Echo dealer wrong? I sure hope not, I was...

    Husqvarna 346xp Advice

    Well got some prices and the Echo is 550, the stihl is over 700 and I imagine the husky is even higher, so looks like it’s going to be the echo 620pw. Just need to decide bar length and whether or not I want the full wrap handle. I like the idea of having the additional versatility of the wrap...

    Husqvarna 346xp Advice

    I looked at the 590 and really liked it, seems like the best value for the money. the 600p also. I like the pro features on the 600/620 like the mag clutch cover, and I like the unlimited coil, bigger carb, and improved cylinder and piston of the 620 as well as the better bar. Plus I was...

    Husqvarna 346xp Advice

    Well, back to the drawing board. The 261cm sold. I did pick up a brand new Echo CS-400 for $170, I needed something last Saturday and came across the Echo. Small homeowner saw, but from what I've read it's a decent little saw for around the house. They sell new for $299.00 at my local Echo...

    On the 261, what compression should I be looking for? 150psi?

    Husqvarna 346xp Advice

    That's what I like to hear! So where im at now is deciding if I want to buy the MS260 for 180, fix it, and mod it, or splurge for the MS261C-M for 300, and just mod it. Assuming the 260 only needs a couple choke/kill switch related parts, I could probably fix it and mod it for less than the...

    Looking for service manual and IPL for MS260 & MS261C-M (2014 model year)

    Thank you for clarification. Any recommended mods?

    Husqvarna 346xp Advice

    What about the M-tronic version? I plan on modding, MM at first but likely gasket delete and porting too. Can the electronic adjustment keep up with the mods or will it run out of fuel? And is 300 a fair price for a used one?

    Husqvarna 346xp Advice

    I think there's a little confusion, probably my fault this thread has jump around. The 346xp is in rough shape and needs a lot, but I found someone selling a jred 2149, an ms260, and an ms261c-m. The jred is 150, and is seized so I could put a 346xp top end on it, the 260 is 180 and runs good...

    Husqvarna 346xp Advice

    According to the seller, its something with the choke linkage and it's an $8 dollar part. However I tend to not take a sellers word for it. If that indeed is all it is, then I think that's not a bad deal at 180. What do used 261c-m go for? What Echo are you referring to? I do like the 590...

    Husqvarna 346xp Advice

    Is the M tronic capable of adjusting for MM and porting? Is 300 a fair price for a used one?

    Husqvarna 346xp Advice

    Seller is also selling a Stihl MS260 Pro that has a starting issue related to the choke but runs good once it's started and a MS261 c-m. Asking 180 and 300 respectively. Both seem to be good from what I've read, and are the size I'm looking for. Probably less headache than the 2149 and the...

    Husqvarna 346xp Advice

    Found a jonsered 2149 turbo on Craigslist local, says the flywheel is locked up, I'm guessing it's seized. Seller says it's pretty much a 346xp with only slight differences. Is that correct? He's asking $150 which I think is high for a locked up saw but I bet I could get it cheap. Also a...

    Saw that one, very temping, bet it's a beast. Would like to do my own mods though. Bet it would rip with a 16" bar.

    Are these saws the same except for displacement? How would you rank these against each other?

    Husqvarna 346xp Advice

    If it is too rough, any recommendations? Look for another 346xp or a different model? Maybe another in the XP series? Maybe 357xp?Something pro grade or at least farm/ranch grade. Just looking for a good all around saw that will last me. Pawn shop also has an Echo 400, and a 440, they any...

    Husqvarna 346xp Advice

    So off the top of my head, I'm thinking it needs at least a top cover, starter cover, starter handle, wrap handle, assortment of missing fasteners, tank, bar, and chain. Carb probably needs cleaned, maybe rebuilt, muffler looks pretty corroded, but may be salvageable, probably needs piston and...

    Husqvarna 346xp Advice

    What am I looking at money wise for a total rebuild? Would I better off looking for a different saw? What do these saws go for used in good shape? Can you get them remanufactured at a dealer or online?
