Shindecho

Exactly.

 

[diggers_dad]

Very nice. Thanks for sharing. I pick up a little more each time I read one of these.

What did the compression pick up to after the pop-up?

 

[CWME]

Totally different saw now

 

[mweba]

It'll never hold up. Its no loggers saw.

:hmm3grin2orange::hmm3grin2orange::hmm3grin2orange::hmm3grin2orange:JK NICE WORK Randy

Looks like it gained 50% The quality of the P&C looks outstanding, I've always liked the quality Shin's top ends.:smile2:

 

[blsnelling]

Very nice tranformation. Actually sounds like a useable saw now

These Echos are great saws. I just picked up a couple new CS600P's. one with a 20 inch bar, & one with a 24 inch bar. I also have a 330T, CS370, and a CS400. They aren't built like my 372XP, but they aren't $900, either. For the money, you can't beat Echo. The 5 year warranty is nice too, but you probably won't need it.


BTW, the "P" means it has the upgraded bar & chain. Basically a rebranded Oregon powermatch.

Echo After the Work

Your work on that saw really made it come alive!

Nice Work

What did the compression pick up to after the pop-up?

I didn't cut a popup for it, just tightened the squish. I never checked the compression though....before or after. I doubt it has any more, and may even have a bit less after raising the exhaust port.

 

[Jer75]

This is just AWESOME!

I watched the vids several times just trying to time the cuts - looks like stock the cuts were about 15 seconds, and after Mastermind did his magic they dropped to like 7 or 8 seconds!

Oh my.....

VERY NICE!!!!

 

[chopperfreak2k1]

off the chain as usual Randy! i'm no expert time checker but i figure about a 45% gain then add for the bigger wood too. heck now i want one!

 

[miking]

It sure sounded like it needed a tuning awfully bad in the stock vid so no wonder it cut so slowly. Great work on the mod though. Kind of what the echo saw guys have been saying all along.

 

[komatsuvarna]

That is some weird durations, sure does run good though!! Cylinder looks real good quality too. Did Echo and Shindaiwa merge?

all i can say is WOW,, really woke it up
