That's crazy though I use regular oil in my truck change it every 3000 use full synthetic in the wife's SUV and change every 5000. Y would any one sacrifice lubrication in an engine. That's what keeps it going.

I'm same as you with lube, but when a company claims superior lubrication with their product giving you longer engine life it sounds like a great deal at the time.
But y? Maybe I just understand how it works. My dad was an auto mechanic maybe I'm just special lol. If you are going to run 12 to 16k rpm you may need some oil.
knew when i saw echo in the first post you'd be along shortly.

I do like my Echo's nothing fancy but they always get the job done. And the Del 590 is just plain fun to run. What @AnthemBassMan doesn't know yet is saws multiply like rabbit's.knew when i saw echo in the first post you'd be along shortly.
It's the weirdest thing. I have one saw then somehow 2 then 4 and now 5. I need to keep these things away from each other they keep reproducing lol.

Oh, I understand how that works. I also have a few guns and guitars. G.A.S.-aka Gun/Guitar Acquisition Syndrome! Oh, and I'm also buying my Wife a rabbit later today. Why does everything I get have to multiply?!? Anyhow. Here's a cheesy pic because no one on here has ever seen a chainsaw before!

Just make sure the tune is safe before you run it hard. Lots of Echo have met an early demise due to lean factory carb settings.Oh, I understand how that works. I also have a few guns and guitars.

Absolutely! I even have my weed eater tuned to run a bit fat until it hits heavy weeds. Then it smooths out and tears through them.

That's correct but it's no good making a noise like a "V" 8 you have to have the correct "ring a ping ding" sound to cut wood properlyNow THAT is funny!!

No V8 here. I'd have to make the sounds of my old Penton 125 Six Day that I had as a kid running hare scrambles and trail riding with my friends.

One more question. My saw came with the typical low pro/safety chain. What would be a recommended replacement chain when I need a new one?

Non safety semi chisel will cut whatever you want.

If you want to use Oregon chain then any 91VXL chain with the correct drive links will cut great.

No pics, but it was a 1970. Bought it off my friend for $100 in 1978. My Dad and I repainted it yellow and had to replace both fenders because my friend took quite a few spills on it causing the original fenders to trashed. It ran great and would outrun my buddies Yamahas, Hondas, and Kawasakis of the mid 70s era.

I run Carlton because its what my dealer has on rolls. My 590 came with Oregon lpx it cut well but the Carlton is cheaper for me to buy.

Well I finally got to get my Echo into some wood. It was a small dead white pine maybe 8-10 inches across at the base. That little Echo pulled through it pretty decent. I cut up a bunch of biscuits and was throwing them on the fire. The carb settings from the factory seemed pretty good. It would start 4 stroking when I'd start the cut, then it would clean up as it dug in. Here's an after the action pic for you all.
