Great thread Randy.

It's good to do build threads every now and again. Keeps everyone interested and also serves as a reminder of the quality of work you do.

Your work always has me feeling like I gotta step up my game bud.

If you builders come across some who is talking down your work send that person a $15 dremel and a bad head and see what they come up with.


It'll probably be silence!

Fire away with the questions Chris.

The threads are so much better when people stop worrying about whether or not their question is a good one or not.

The pressure I put on top of the jug with the live center is what keeps it from slipping. I only take .010" off on each pass so there's not too much resistance.

I also drill/tap for an M5/M6 bolt through the exhaust or intake port. Acts as a dog. Added insurance in case the jug wants to spin. Speed/feed no doubt can deter this but it has happened to me b4. Pop a number 19 or 9 jobber drill in the cordless and drill/tap straight through while the jug is on the mandrel. Screw in the bolt and voila!!!

I decided to take the mains up a few degrees higher than the secondaries on the Echo.

The 501P jug done.

The 362 jug.....

I didn't enlarge the exhaust flanges any. On the Stihl, I'd have to cut out the only reinforcement that the muffler shell has to match it. So.....I just leave it be. On the Echo.....it seems large enough already.

I'm lucky to have that woman.

I went to a local echo dealer today to look at a 501p. Of course he has lots of 590 and 550p. No 501p. I just wanted to see how it felt.

Can you retrofit a different carb on it?

Yes you are

Are the secondaries larger than the mains the entire way through the tunnel from the factory? Thats a really nice looking jug.
