Definitely a solid seller. That's a nice husky for sure.

Thanks for getting back to me. No worries I need a month of no internet in the woods you want help lol.

Saw still for sale?

Glad you are giving the 590 another chance. Definitely do the muffler mods in small increments...like holy cow said it gets loud fast. All I did was open up the deflector on the top of the muffler and it has great power and is not rattle the neighbors teeth loud. Amazing how they come to life...

Has it had a muffler mod and carb tuned? In stock form they are fairly lackluster. Still not a high reving fast saw after the mod but they are easy starting, reliable and a very torquey much like the saws of old. Mine wears a 28" bar and with the oiler turned on full it has no trouble keeping...

Love my 490 pulls the 20" just fine after muff mod and retune.

How much for complete saw. I'd like to have some spare parts around.

Any of them have a salvageable cylinder or are they scored beyond use?

Finally got some decent weather to get outside and mess with the 590 some more. I don't have any logs at the moment but my gf wanted some stumps dealt with so I dialed the carb in a little more as I cut the centers out of them for burning and took a nice cookie off one to level it for a flower...

Oh that's always the way of it... I'm going to do some test cuts later and see if it happens again. Hopefully it was just something I did in the tuning. I let it run for 10 minutes and cautiously revved it up a few times after I tuned it again this morning but didn't get a chance to cut...

Nixon did the check valve need replacing or junk plugging it up? I put the saw back together this morning and ran it to see if the racing would stop with working the trigger...I had just shut saw off after each time it began to race. After fully warmed I fattened up the H another 1/4 turn ccw...

That is a possibility...I feel like it was four stroking but maybe I could be hearing the limiter. I'm puzzled by this as I had zero issues doing the same modifications and tuning to my 490.

After it started to race the first time and I inspected the saw and piston I replaced the muffler deflector and added an 1/8 of a turn richer to both LandH screws and lowered the Idle screw It revved up after a few seconds of idling. I have not run it since. I am going to check it over...

I fattened it up a good bit earlier. I'm from lightly seated bout 1 turn out ccw on the H and bout 3/4 turn on the L. I was cutting good around 7/8 ccw H and 5/8 ccw L before the racing started. I tried turning the I screw way down but that didn't help. It will idle for a few seconds and then...

Fired up my new 590 after a mm and limiter removal. After I got it warm and idling nice I made some cuts. Got it four stroking, and very responsive on the trigger, cleaned up nice in the cut but left it a bit rich to help with the break in. Started cutting up some pine logs bout 15" diameter...

Hmm interesting I did not know echo has always been 50:1. My 302s gas cap says 32:1 on it. Good to know... Maybe ill grab a can or two of the red armor 50:1 and see how it does.

I figured i was fixing something not broke but figured I'd ask here for little better peace of mind... Appreciate all the info. I was looking for a 500vl but after seeing so many good comments here I got the 490. It's been a workhorse for me and I can't say enough good about it. I just picked up...

This is my first brand new modern saw...all the saws I'm accustomed to using 32:1 or 40:1 and are pushing 40+ years old. Figured a fatter mix would make it a little easier on the internals while I was breaking it in. Like cam break in oil for a fresh rebuild on car engine. Didn't think that made...

Ive put about 12 tanks thru it since new w/ a mm and retune. so I pulled the muffler just to see how things looked inside. Piston looks good and there's little build up on the exhaust port. But it is a bit oily I'd say.. would you call this normal or should I lean it up more or maybe switch from...

Thank you much for a place to start.
