Make sure whatever chain you get is 70 drive link. Stihl and husky are 72 aka too long
Just saw that. Thanks though.Make sure whatever chain you get is 70 drive link. Stihl and husky are 72 aka too long
Yea, I would buy from a site sponsor if they would have had one at that good a price. I looked at Baileys, but they don't carry them.The only let down is that you didnt buy from a site sponser that sell them. Im sure the saw will suit your needs but if it needs anything warantee wise how is the ebay seller going to help you? At least our site sponsers can be contacted easily. JMO Good luck with your saw, share pictures if you can.
my wives car.
lol, yea, what can I say. Its WAD instead of CAD.Wives? Dang, one wife is plenty for me. More wives = less chainsaws.
Will do. I'll take some pictures when it gets here. I'll take pictures of the mods I do also. And if I decide to come up to the GTG then I'll bring it along. But for the meantime, its gonna get some work done for sure.I didn't buy mine for the warranty either.I bought it as a guinea pig of sorts.congratulations on the buy keep us posted on how it goes.
Congrats.. It should serve you well...Will do. I'll take some pictures when it gets here. I'll take pictures of the mods I do also. And if I decide to come up to the GTG then I'll bring it along. But for the meantime, its gonna get some work done for sure.

Next up??
Chain...
Got it ordered, along with a loop for my neighbor. Eventually I'll get me an 18" bar and a 24" bar for when I want to play around with doing some milling. Lol, I bet that made some people chuckle...Congrats.. It should serve you well...

Interesting you bring this up. Its one area I have never given much thought to. I have always, and I mean always, mixed somewhere in between 40:1 and 50:1. What I mean is that I keep it lower than a 50:1, but never under a 40:1. But, I've never been concerned with power or repeatability. So I guess I am going to have to take more of a specific approach to it now so I can get the most from the saw. I've done this for all my 2 cycle engines over the years and never had one lock up or fail compression wise ever.mix oil and ratio
Earlier you said that the saw took a 70 link chain. A Poulan Pro 5020 takes a 70 link 3/8ths chain. It's really more of a 19" bar, so maybe you don't want to mess with an 18" because it's so close to what you are getting.Got it ordered, along with a loop for my neighbor.

I think it does take d176 for a 16" chain. I found all the specs for the different bars somewhere but I don't have it available right now.Don't hold me to it but it think the poulan bar will fit the echo.I know the old poulan beird models and old McCulloch bars will fit.in other words look for d176 mount bars.
Your probably right. I bet it would run 18" better than 20", but they are pretty close and probably not significant enough to keep both on hand. Might come down to a penny pinching point one day though.Earlier you said that the saw took a 70 link chain. A Poulan Pro 5020 takes a 70 link 3/8ths chain.
