Here's the UK announcement

https://www.echo-tools.co.uk/cs-2511wes-launching-summer-2019/

Anyone hear anything about a USA release?

@Onan18 would know.


I'm happy they're making this saw.

Might be the second saw I've ever purchased new.

I Know Nothing!!!!

Seriously, this is the first I have heard.

I saw this saw a month ago and I thought it was already out.

What's it like limbing with a baby saw like this? The weight is obviously fantastic but does the slower chain speed (does it even have a slower chain speed?) make it more of a pain in the ass to slice through little unstable branches?

From what I've read, that little thing is pretty hot. It's a close chanel cylinder saw. Built quite solid.

USA announcement. I don't see a date anywhere (when it was written, or when it will be released)

So is it still gonna be a muff mod ( disable the cat) and maybe change the bar to 1/4 as before..
It’s just what I’ve seen on youtube ...

 

[chipper1]

Yeah I can personally attest chain speed is not an issue with this little guy!

Stop trying to hog' em all man!

So on the 2511T what mods had big bang for the buck? Was a muffler mod enough? Or is it worth having a timing advance and port job done?

Anyone recommend a porter? Not sure I want to screw with it myself. Then again I'm also not excited to spend $300 extra on a $400 saw. Blah

If I remember @usmcbuckwild has a pretty hot 2511 he might have some info.

I have done 11 of the 2511T saws and have had great results. Albeit they are a huge pain in the ass, but results have been pretty darn good. I have gotten the 2511T to perform almost the same as a stock 355T.

I’ll have to tear one down and take some pics. The hardest part is timing them, the small cylinder, being a clamshell and 90* exhaust complicate that.

Does changing timing make much difference? I vaguely recall reading somewhere that it didn't help much.

How close can you get by just drilling a hole in the muffler?

I was referring to port timing the cylinder.

Ignition timing change does next to nothing for them, if anything it is counter productive. You can get away with a 1/2” hole in the 2511T muffler to defeat the cat, but it will depend on if they change the exhaust on the rear handle saw.

Do you recommend a bar/chain change, and, if so, what? Thanks.
