Odd transfer. Hard to tell without the jug in my hand. Pics can be deceiving.
That is a rev limited saw. I built one. Very hard to tune because you’ll hit the limiter on a piss rev and think you are safe, and you won’t hear it being lean in the cut when the rpm drops below the limiter. I’m sure you eliminated the carb limiters as Echo’s tend to be very lean from the factory.
A bad port chamfer will cause vertical lines on the piston across the port width and generally nowhere else. Grooves a slug quickly. BTDT
You have transfer all over the place. I’d say debris in motor or lean condition and you need better chamfers either way. I use a builder case whenever possible for just this reason. No cylinder hits the saw until it’s fully done. If doing a saw with no possible builders case, the jug won’t touch the saw without a trip through the USC every single time.
Your port work looks very nice BTW.
