Parts needed for an old echo

[Gatsby174]

Hi Folks,
It's been a while since I've posted, but I'm looking for some parts to keep my father's old echo 750evl going. All it needs is the clutch spring, but I haven't had any luck locating them. Any ideas?

The saw looks as good as the day it came off the line, I'm hoping to keep it going for a while longer!

Thanks!

First step is to determine the part number. Have you got that?

I noticed in the link that the part is NLA.

yeah, looks like it will be a hard to find bugger, but one needs to start with a part number.

I would spend a while looking online for him, but it is pretty nice outside.......

Nice out here too John. Sunny and 28F.
I was thinking if the spring was like the older huskys, maybe one would fit.

Don't know, maybe he could put up a pic of what he has.

Why so truculent? Lol

Sweet saw, I have the same thing, but it's green and says John Deere 80v. Should be the same spring as 701 and 702.

If you still can't find one, you might try a spring for a pioneer p41, p40. I'm betting it's close to the same size.

Hmmm, I forgot that the John Deere 80v is the same...I have to hope I can find some one who has a nos spring sitting on a shelf somewhere

 

[HarleyT]

Is that spring weak?

Fairbanks Morse clutch. I bet one from a large Homelite would work.

Meh. I need a pair for my JD 80EVA. It's yellow.

 

[Gatsby174]

Yes, the spring is weak. I see the clutch spring for the 701 lists a different part number, so I don't think it'll work? I did find the springs for the 701 available on the 'bay though.

I might have that clutch spring, measure it for me and Ill let you know on Monday.

My 702 shows using same spring.

Here is a compete clutch http://store.chainsawr.com/products/echo-702-vl-chainsaw-clutch-mechanism-1

You can replace it with: CS-701, 702, 601, 660, old 510, equivalent John Deeres, old big Homelites, old Sachs-Dolmar, some Husqvarnas, Chinese saws with that king of spring, some go-karts... If some of them are long, you can cut them to the correct size.

Thanks guys, I found 4 new springs (I have two clutches with weak springs) for a cs-701 on the way. When it's working again I'll let everyone know!
