I love running these little saws,,, I had one at the beginning of the year and I had a brain fart and sold it,,, my wife loves running these so I guess tis one will sit on the shelf for her,,, but if someone local wants it bad enough and willing to shell out some coin I wouldn't mind to much letting it go

Well I hate to see a guy get taken. Being the super nice guy I am, I would buy it for what you have in it, but sometimes it's good to let a guy learn from his mistakes.

Post a pic of the case, sounds pretty cool.

Congrats! Seems odd an Echo Tech would take such a low payment for his personal gear.

Maybe because It's an EPA violation with a stiff fine for defeating limiters and he's nervous 'cause his profession is on the line.

Nice! I have a 310 that I absolutely hate. The damned thing starts every time that I need it. What good is that? It gets lugged around in a backpack for trail work. In 3 years of ownership I've yet to work on it.

Sounds like you did get taken. I really got taken last week when my neighbor dropped these off (for free ) He did say that he would like the 520 back if I got it running.

5 - CS 310 (1 not pictured)
1 - CS 520
1 - CS 370
1 - Wild Thang

Already got one of the 310s cleaned, muffler modded, and running. Just waiting on a few loops of Woodland Pro 30 LP. Baileys has the tune up kits for the 310s on sale for $13 (from $24) so I ordered 5. Sadly, they canceled 4 and only shipped 1

That camouflage case would go with me in to the woods once and it would stay there. I'd never find it again.

jut went out and drained all the e10 mix out and put in some nice 90 octane ethanol free mix,,, got the wife to start it,,, yes I had to have her start it since it has only been 3 weeks since my shoulder surgery,,, runs pretty good,, had to retune it though since it was a bit rich on the low side and a bit lean on the high side,,, going to pull the muffler tomorrow and take a look see

 

[ole yukon]

got the wife to start it,,,

Wow if I had to rely on that, It would be a cold winter lol

she can start and run all my saws,, she can run the splitter and she s better at stacking then I am,,, she is a big help and hard worker

 

[tallfarmboy]

Trade ya for a box of 039 stuff, LOL!


JK, JK... I'm going to port the 039

you got a good one......Well I will give my wife credit tho, she is good at telling me when I need to add more wood to the stove

No my wife works hard also, but I learned a long time ago that its not good to teach a wife to shoot, operate a backhoe, and use a chainsaw.......that can be a bad combination lol
