Porting Echo cs 5000

Had this one sitting on the shelf a while now. Got the urge to fiddle with something.

Started out just doing a muffler mod...

Few more fasteners removed it looked like so.

Going for 106,121,77

Just a little bit of widening, as you can see the exhaust is none too huge...

In the words of @Mastermind, what you have there is a potential "346xp killer"

 

[bryanr2]

that's one I shouldn't have sold.

Close, but this was the model before those.

I do have one of them too...

I know it's a 5k. Merely giving echo a nod.

Nice to see you back at it Joe!

I agree. I like Joe's builds. Always does something unique.

Good to see some builds again from you Joe.

Very nice, looking forward to how it turns out. I have one of it's descendants, the 500P. Great saws!

Appreciate it. Just making others aware this wasn't the 346 killer model. Although it should be comparable.

Plus this being a split mag case, it is on par in build construction.

Thanks guys. Hoping it turns out well

I like the 500 series of that era. Thanks for the thread Joe.

Thank you. Might try and get a couple more done as well

Very welcome.

These saws have a lot going for em other than the tiny ports...

Is a 4600 the same style of build?

Yes the 4500/4600/5000/5500 are all mag cased saws.

Maybe even the 4000's

Hit my numbers, did a bit of work in the tunnels. Add some bevels, reassemble with new impulse/fuel line.

It lives. Pretty rich tune. Need to find some wood.
