Got my fiirst Echo saw last night

[James Miller]

terrible pick but looks like they just hole sawed the cat out

I found out why the saw flooded and was shelved. Whoever rebuilt the carb last left out the metering diaphragm gasket.

All cleaned up and ready for a fresh tune.

I picked up this Echo CS400 last night. Started in 1 pull. This is my first Echo saw, so I have some exploring to do. First impression, it looks well made. Has an 18" bar that I will probably bump down to a 16 or 14. Is there a 3/8 pitch drum to put on this saw? Bar pattern is a normal Poulan correct? Thanks guys

I think you'll find that a bar from Husky's will fit

This one is still running strong after 21 years:

Echo CS 3900. It carries .325 chain, narrow gauge. I replaced two items on it: the chain sprocket and the ignition module. My even older CS 500 EVL also refuses to die. I sometimes wonder why I started buying a bunch of Stihls.

Even though Echo's warranty is a joke that is a great saw. Won't cut as fast as the big boys but I can run mine all day and my wore out shoulders don't hurt.

Good vid on YouTube for a CS-400 muffler mod.

I love mine...it cuts great with a 12" bar. It's been relegated to yard duty with the quad port huskies handling the bigger stuff. But I love the fit and function of them...the old school toggle switch, the rubber wrapped handlebar, etc. It's the only saw I have that I know will start in 2 pulls cold...every time.
