My first saw was a Homelite 360 that I purchased at the local JC Penny in 1976 when they were getting out of the tool line. That saw with its original 20" bar cut over 100 cords of wood for neighbors and me. The carb boot finally went bad when I was in the middle of a large oak storm tree...

I have an Echo CS-500P and the two saws are identical when it comes to bars and chains. In the parts manual, available online at https://www.echo-usa.com/getattachment/142029a4-68d1-46bb-8d83-51a1f92c2dca/CS-501P_C68515_062917_es the 18" bar is listed as .325 and the chain has 72 drive links...
