New guy with an Echo

[leecopland]

I bought a bar and chain from Hunzl for my Echo 3000. Very inexpensive just a longish wait for shipping. very happy with it, but I'm not an arborist.

Does this bar side plate look wrong? Found a photo in Aretaic’s thread and his plate looks different than mine. I got these off Ereplacement. Stud holes are too big, cut out for the oil channel is incorrect part number are inner: 43301312332 and outer: 43301212332. Maybe I can modify it to work?

Maybe the bar plate you need is the one that's discontinued. Here's a pic of the discontinued one, 4330130393, off ebay. I'm not saying that's the one you need, just that it might be.

Well damn, maybe I try and buy that one and return the one/ones I got. Thanks for the input.

You could try cutting the oil slot lower.

Found a set in chainsawr for 9$ for the pair and they look correct. I am going to try and return the new ones I got. I’m not it a hurry anyhow an I? Lol

Got my parts coming from Chainsawr, spending more than I wanted but it is what it is. Just had a quick question for you guys. What type of washer goes under the sprocket between the clutch and the sprocket? Is is just s thin metal one or some sort of plastic? Of course my saw is missing one there.
