Echo CS8000 checking over

[dh1984]

Here is my newest Echo. Now i want to know what can i do to it? so i started checking it over and found the spark screen was almost clogged shut with carbon. Well after i took the screen out i changed the spark plug and then check for spark with my spark tester it had a really nice blue spark.

well after that i checked thfuelle lines the one in the tank was good but the one that came from the tank to the carb was split so i changed it out. while i was in the carb box i went a head and cleaned the carb real good.

Then i started looking for a fuel cap well i found one that would work with a little modifying done to it and then i put gas in it and it fire right up with 3 pulls on choke. i let it run for a minute and then checked everything made sure they was no leaks in the fuel lines or anything. then i let it set

So i'll let the pictures tell you more about it.

Sorry for bringing a old thread like this back up. But i figure you all would like to see what i've done to my Echo Cs8000

Here's the update on my echo CS8000

i done a muffler mod on it and retuned the carb little. Then put a 30 inch Husky mount carlton sprocket tip bar and chain on it. Now only thing i have left to put on is a clutch spring when it gets here.

Here are some pictures of the saw with the 30 inch bar and chain.
