Tweaker version of being "on the fence" regarding a decision. The ecosystem is restored. 😄:

Did u check the piston for casting herpes damage? Surprised he cut this video. The fan boys who have their heads so far up Stihl's aszhole, u never hear about this:

Cleared trail all the way to buck mountain summit. Lotta wind blown trees down cross the trail. Echo 4910 sure was handy in that 15 below zero cutting. Spotted quite a few sharptail grouse and ptarmigan. 3/4 of the way up, carb jetting wasn't proper at elevation. That 80hp 550 liquid felt...

Great engines! The stroke is longer than the bore diameter(designed for immediate torque). Loaded with a cord of green wood in the bed, the low-end torque of the 5.4 triton is much more noticeable than the vortec 350 of the era. Those rear sterling 10.5" axles used nothing but Koyo bearings...

Yep theyre good engines but the whole package leaves alot to be desired. I believe ive been working and wrenching on 4.7l powered trucks since before you was born. Some issues ive seen on 4.7 trucks: Rear spring packs are worthless. Ive always rebuild them with an add a leaf so they can...

I run both a 590 and a 620pw. The 590 is standard issue, everyone should have one. Its the greatest budget saw of all time! Very easy saw to get feisty out of the box with a half ah minute of free work: Base gasket delete yields 170 psi. Muffler mod $4 walbro fuel nozzle 86-578 .015 off...

Few observations after cutting for a few years with 4910's: Gotta be gentle if u get a pinch. Can't man handle them or treat them like a pry bar off the felling spike as the av mounts are thin. Molded black sight lines on the black recoil and clutch cover are very hard to see in low light...

Or a new low top 372 oe from Pav + port work combined.

A lightweight 60 cc saw was the 12 lb Husqvarna 359. The 564 is hardly any achievement on weight savings.

Yep, soon as my 564 arrives, that's exactly what it'll be compared to on the timber sale, a $440 home depot saw that had a half minute of free work: Base gasket delete, timing advance, muffler mod, walbro fuel nozzle. I dont think a 13 lbs 5 oz 60 cc saw is heavy at all. Tunes up at 13,200...

Yep, in addition to the ROUGH ports, finish of the bore looks crude. Its almost like a Chinese clone saw cylinder. 😄

My shoulder is fked up from chipping overflow ice with a 30 lb ice spud. The flyweight 4910 is bout all I can handle. With that 20" narrow kerf aluminum core bar, dmn thing doesn't weigh nuthin.

Ran mine today clearing all my dog mushing trails. Blowdowns everywhere after high winds. Ive owned a couple of 4910's. My current one: Base gasket delete, basic woodsport, muffler opened up. I run a 20" speed cut/aluminum core .325 narrow kerf bar and rs pro .325 narrow kerf chain.

Did any of the saw porters on here cringe when they saw the finish of those 564 cylinder ports? Ewwww. 💩 What is the weight on that ridiculously tall piston?

With the bore diameter of a 70 cc saw and the stroke of a 50 cc saw, I dont think the weight savings on the 564 is all that impressive: 12.8 lbs. It still costs as much as a 70 cc saw. They're marketing this as some sort of pinnacle achievement where this micro-penis-short-stroke architecture...
