Would it be possible to get the same chain as the Makita EA3200 / Dolmar on to the Echo 360?
The Echo and the Makita in the vid are wearing the same B&C.

The small saws certainly loose power running 325, changing to 3\8 picco helps quite a bit on a saw that's stock and 50cc or less.I never thought of going from .325” LG chisel chain to the 3/8” LP chisel chain on my smaller cc saws. Do the smaller saws lose noticeable power? I do go up one pin size on the rims.
Both have the same pitch of sprocketDon't you need a corresponding sprocket or something? Ok I'll need to check that out, thanks.

Picco and LP are the same style of chainIf it was because the Makita runs picco and the Echo runs 3/8 lp it would make more sense...
The 3/8 class in either picco or lp (low profile) the size of the drive links and the distance from center of pivot to sliding surface, to me defines a class. These factors make nose and drive sprockets kind of specific. Your large saw mentioned above uses larger drive links and other things mentioned previously in this post.Of course, only Stihl saws use picco chain. So my Makita 32cc run a 3/8 LP 1,1mm chain, and my 36cc Echo is pulling a standard 3/8 1,3mm chain - the same chain as my 7910?

Seems like the Echo was a waste of my money then, the Makita cuts way better I don't quite understand it though, the Echo should have notably more power.

Are you talkin in person or in my video?
Looking forward to the 5020 vid. Just bought an Oregon LPX 70DL on ebay for only $13 shipped. Hope this was a good choice. Read that a 16 inch bar is the way to go but prefered not to spend more for a new bar.

I was talking about my saws, which are stock as they came in the box. It would be nice to know specifically what chains where on those two saws in the video too of course since my saws have obviously different chains.
My brain is just slow working that's all... Would it help my Echo if I ordered a 3/8 Low 1,3mm chain, would it fit the sprocket or would that be no point at all because that's whats already there or it wouldn't fit?
I was just thinking that if it has a standard 3/8 chain that's quite a heavy pull for a 36cc saw.
Just saw this - your dealer has made an error. That 360 should never come with standard 3/8 chain. Keep the sprocket and put 3/8LP or 3/8 picco chain on it instead.
Wow. That dealer's tech needs a slap. You probably won't even have to swap the bar out if they used .050. Did you measure the bar widths on both? If it is under warranty, I would go back to the dealer. The issue should be obvious.
Pull the bar on that echo. It should be a Tsumura and look like this:
