Echo 303t overheating

[kkemp]

13000 seems very optimistic for this saw and could very well cause it to run hot. My 3000 is set to 11500 or so and seems quite happy. Another thing, if you leave the cat muffler on it. A catalyst actually needs some extra fuel to work properly and not overheat. This is why a modern EFI engine has O2 sensors before and after the cat, to ensure that the exhaust mixture coming out of the engine is rich enough for the cat to function but not too rich or lean to overheat or clog it. My CS-400, SRM-225, and Dolmar 5105 have cat mufflers and I have tuned them a bit richer than factory. They do not get noticeably hotter than non-cat mufflers and every time I have pulled the mufflers they are clean as can be.

the last shop to service it is no longer in business . They hardly knew hiw to change a air filter . That's probably why it was tuned so high. Lol

Oh yeah does someone have a part number for this? I need to see if it will fit a 341. Thanks!

Can’t find any on the eBay listings I located. I’ll try and pull my muffler this week sometime and see if there is a number on it

Nevermind this should be it. It’s at least the one on my 305 which is the rear handle version of the 3000

Complete muffler kit for the CS-303T is P021002032. Typical price is $72 or so. The cover is extra. Several suppliers are out there, so shop around. You might also find a complete non-running parts saw for about $100 and then salvage the muffler assembly kit.

Part number for the CS-3000 muffler?

Yes but after seeing these prices I might decat mine first.

No need for the whole assembly the 305 muffler is $10-20 on eBay
