Thirsty also? Both of mine use noticeably more fuel after porting, but it's worth it!

If you don't mind me asking... how much is it to port an echo 600 and who did it ?

Mweba did the work, I traded a saw for the work.

gotcha.. I have been thinking about getting it done . The 600 runs good with the 20 inch bar but seems to bog down when running a 24 inch bar in hardwood .

Porting is usually $250-325 plus shipping.
