I was looking through some saws on Amazon today and saw a 35 cc Echo that claims to have 2.7 KW power, which roughly equates to 3.6 hp. I know many saws in the mid 50 cc class with less power. Echo shows no power ratings on their website, but an 8.2 pound saw with 3.6 hp sounds like a dream saw to me. I will just assume it was a mistake , but does anyone here own the 3510? Any thoughts on it? On sale now for $279.

I don't have a 3510 but do have the 352 that was replaced by the 3510. Supposed to be a little lighter and a little more powerful than the 352. If you search this forum you should come up with a few threads. The 352 is a handy little saw. I had a 42cc craftsman and the 352 would out cut it easily, also lighter and easier handling. I sold the craftsman. I don't know hp ratings but it cuts well for its size. I would check ebay and home depot for pricing as well.
For the money i would rather have the CS-310.
Same weight but not as much power.
Sounds more like it.
Pull the limiters and muffler mod it is a dandy saw to keep in the tool box.
Exactly what I did to my 352. Had a cat in the muffler.
I currently have a 3510. At one point I had 3 lol. I kept running into good deals on ebay and FB. On one I did a MM and ran it side by side with the other two. Nice gain in power.
I sold two and some other Echo's to raise the cash to buy my 550xp mk ll recently.
A couple of things that I noticed:
Don't ever press the purge/primer bulb more than once. That will cause extra pulls when starting.
The other thing is the tiny starter handle bothered my hand so I switched it over to a more traditional handle.

I have a 550 XP Mk 2 as well, but for some reason I feel the need for something smaller and lighter. I think the 550 covers everything the 45-57 cc class can bring to the table, so a 35cc may be needed. I have 2 other 60 cc saws plus a 73 cc. My bases should be covered until I feel the need for 125 ccs.
After I ran my cs352 for about 20 minutes, I sold my almost new 310 for 130 dollars USD and never had a regret. The AV, the air filter and the amazing power in the 352 made the 310 feel cheap. I can't imagine why they even built that saw.
I did that to mine. It really did make a LOT of difference and my friend loves that saw but, it still didn't have enough grunt to stand proudly in the same forest with my 352.
