Maybe huskys are cheaper in my neck of the woods, tons of stihl dealer out here but you have to go the distance to find a husky dealer . Another good thing for echo is that every small equipment dealer sells the echo brand

Yeah, $1400 is the going price for a brand new 395xp here.
Exactly , even the the 592 is not quite 100$ more than the 395. Im not brand loyal since i have at least one saw of every make but i figured that for that kind of money i was gonna choose the safest option and go with the trusty ol husky and this is what i believe a lot of ppl are gonna do . I have to admit i was eager to try the 7310 , if they would have been the same price as the husky i would have bought one . The 7310 felt really good in ma hands hand it looked like a sturdy saw , my 590 does what its supposed to and more for the price but it sure feels like i bought it at toys r us
Yes Echo cs590. I bought it as a 28" Echo bar but it pulls out to about 30. Strange###. Bar and chain combo from my Dealer. The cs590 has no problem IF it's NOT HOGGED. I never lay on my saws. In fact I have demonstrated to trainees that a saw (when sawing level across a log) feeds it's self. Once the bar is buried I've ( temporarily) pulled my left hand completely off the handle (I do STRESS IT'S DANGEROUS) and allowed the saw to feed it's self. The right hand holds the handle gives it throttle and the left hand MOSTLY is there for safety and guidance. I've had (a couple times in life) a saw kick back and up. Once about 1995 and again a few years ago. BOTH TIMES I was able (and strong enough) to keep the saw out of my face. BUT I remember the left hand did activate the break. Back about 1995 after the PP 380 came close to hurting me I started getting rid of EVERY saw without a chain brake. I had a Poulan 2150 with a hand guard BUT NO brake. I bought a clutch plate for a small Husky and put it on that saw. I gifted the saw to a helper years ago. That was a 37cc I think. It sure cut good. When I'm cutting trees that can be cut with a 20 inch bar I use that on my 590. If I remember correctly, I might have enlarged the oil hole on that bar. That's a common practice of mine. Adding a little bit of STP also is always done to every gallon of Bar oil.
When I'm in dirty wood I want a lot of oil. Another trick us a 5 gallon bucket of water. I stick the bar tip in FRESH water NO soap and reeve the engine. The water remove grime BUT not oil. That's good when flush cutting stumps. Gotta be careful. Hitting the plastic bucket could be bad for you and the bucket. At 75 im loaded with tricks. Ha. Ha.

Thanks.. I thought about that..BUT,, since I'm mostly tired and Re-tired mostly Speed isn't necessary..I cut only a couple big trees a week now and try to get out of half of them. Ha Ha..Most of what I cut is 20 inches and under.. I've cleared a lot of land here on the farm too...My Stump grinder is down so that's my next project plus the Power Steering on the Kubota..Seems like I will never keep up..This nice weather has bumped my energy levels..I took a friend 4 wheeler riding today.. Sure is pretty in the woods this time of year..Thinks are starting to green out...Spring is waiting in the back room.. Soon she will come dancing out and then I will have a LOT more to do..At 75 I'm slowing down some.. I guess by 85,,, if I'm alive and well,, I'll probably try to retire again..Ha. Ha..Getting old don't worry me but getting helpless is a death sentence.. This old Buffalo has been running wild all these years,, sitting watching TV like some old helpless bull, would be like going to hell... Be blessed..

Have you used tge 9511 tool on a 4510 To pull the limiters? I have a 4920 that takes the same tool and I can't get the caps to come out, don't know what i am doing wrong. Thanks!!
LIMITER CAP REMOVAL:
Thread Limiter Cap Tool (P/N 91157) clockwise 1 or 2 turns into Limiter Cap. Pull tool away from carburetor. Limiter Cap should come out with the tool.

I goofed on my saws. It isn't the 4510, it is a 4920 I need the limiters taken off. It is a weird carb, never seen this number. GC-04-01. A friend is an Echo dealer so he got us the tool, 91157 and when I went to get it he had never used one either. He had a 4920 there so he screwed the tool into the first limiter and part of it came out, but not all. He did the other one and screwed the tool in until it bottomed out and it looked like the whole limiter cap came out but neither screws [H/L] would turn any further than before. Any idea what we are doing wrong?? Thanks again!!
There must be a few variations. 91157 doesn't work on CS400 caps. Must be a different tool.
There’s a video on YouTube where a guy figured out where to drill into the 7310 limiter to get it to pull out. He talks about the orientation of each jet and where you need to drill to get it to come out. I’ve talked to a couple guys that have done it and they say it works perfectly. Not sure if that also applies to other models or not but maybe
This one

I watched the video, I just hate taking a drill to a new saw. I'll figure this out one way or another. Lol.

The cs-400 has standard plastic caps, and regular threaded removal tool works on those.
I get it, but you’re not, really. You’re drilling the plastic limiter and then removing the remnants
So which other Echo pro saws besides the 361p have double D adjusters so no limiter removal. Echo calls most of their lineup pro it seems.
edit looking at below file just 361p maybe the european equivelant.?

Echo carb manual - has adjustment tool numbers and carb settings.
