Want to Trade echo 650evl

[Big_Wood]

looking for trades for WHY on this here echo. figured there would be some echo guys on the forum so we'll see what i can come up with here. saw purs like a kitten and blows 160psi on my gauge which i believe has been reading a bit low. i cleaned the carb, air box, and filter for the hell of it even though it ran good. tuned it rich as it sits because i have no bar for it to tune it in wood. AV mounts are intact but could be replaced as they are a little soft. my understanding is that the AV mounts on these saws were soft to begin with. i would run them if i was gonna run this saw. looking for husky, stihl, and maybe even a bit of dolmar in trade. send me a PM if interested.

edit: dang. forgot to mention there is a small crack in the clutch cover by the exhaust exit. this can be seen in the 6th pic.

What is the value range on what you are looking for in return?

 

[Big_Wood]

to tell you the truth guido. i have no idea what this saw is worth. it isn't what i normally come across. don't have a value in mind but i do know what i don't want. just looking for offers in trade here.

if you figure a trade with me you could be the one to put a TN sticker on it

 

[bryanr2]

im at the point with saws where "Im looking ahead..... not behind" There's some stuff I got my eyes set on now- 241cm, 540xp, 441cm, 661cm etc. Next saw will be the 540xp I reckon unless one of my "evil friends" flashes something in front of me that I need.

X2! That's a very nice looking Echo. I'm not an old saw kinda guy either (although I do want some for my Man cave/non runners and older than this saw) , but man is it a purdy saw!

 

[Big_Wood]

Bump. Not even an offer one thing i should mention is that if the picture of the cylinder wall scares anyone don't be worried. I believe those are oil streaks cause the thing was tuned rich something fierce when i got it. It's a good running saw. Wish i had a bar to try it out. There's gotta be a guy wanting one of these echo's.

 

[towingace]

I don't need it, but I would like to have one of those just for chits an' grins. Wish I knew what you're interested in. I AM curious about that cylinder wall. If it is indeed good, that picture is doing it a huge injustice. Did it stihl have a lot of oil in the cylinder when you did the compression check?

 

[Big_Wood]

The thing is good for sure. I did the compression check before i pulled the muffler so oil was in there. Thing feels like it has massive compression and both sides of the piston look good. I did a compression test with a gauge that i know is reading low. Thing purs like a kitten. I should have got a q-tip in there and wiped the streaks off the cylinder walls before the pic. I've been trying to hunt down a bar for it locally just to try it but no luck.

 

[Big_Wood]

Oh and i am more or less looking for a project saw really. Husky, stihl, or dolmar. Haven't worked on many dolmars so one of those would be sweet.

 

[Guido Salvage]

I have a locked up 025 and an 031 in a box... I have quite a few Echo saws and would always take another.

 

[Big_Wood]

Thanks for the offer guido. Gonna wait a bit to see what else turns up. I've had so many 025's and 031's in the past and i'm looking for something different. Either a small cc dolmar or a larger stihl project. Mostly just don't want to be messing with a locked up clamshell These echo's are turning up some serious dollars on ebay. Of coarse everything saw related is over priced on ebay. Just amazing what some people will pay. I wanna trade this purring echo for a complete stihl/dolmar project. Any takers a running and ready to use saw for a blowed up one. I don't mind rebuilding bottom ends to for the right saw .

 

[Big_Wood]

Also i know you gotta have like 200 other options in your stash guido. Lots you would never part with but there's gotta be more in a supreme saw whoreders stash

 

[Guido Salvage]

Problem is that the 200 saws are 8 hours away and I have few projects here due to lack of storage.

 

[Big_Wood]

Maybe i'll still have it by the time you do your 8 hour trip

 

[towingace]

I'll see what I can come up with.

 

[fordfairlane78]

How about a dolmar 3300 (renamed tanaka) top handle needing carb work & tlc (muffler cover is rough, needs hb handle) sounds good on prime + a dolmar ps34 in very good condition ran great until it started flooding itself......

 

[Big_Wood]

you best start a convo with some pics to start. you are a very new member but lets have a chat and see what we can come up with.
