Echo 501P. Let's play!

I'm interested to know how it would perform if you took the exhaust up to around 100 with the rest at 124-127/81. Maybe a little under 80 intake.

Not sure. But I do believe I would loose the torque. As the 108 saw already had less than the 110. Not a lot but noticeable. And it had a longer blowdown. I do believe the higher you go the more bd you'll need. But on the same hand I think you will run it out of carb and air flow first. These have a tiny intact tract and carb.

You definitely got these things dialed in. Power to weight I don't think there is a rival out there.

I've gotta find a bar. I want to run it against my Dolmar. Lol. My 5105 runs a 20" 3/8 bar with attitude. Echo is only running 325. Lol. Be a good comparison. Although each saw has its own highlights.

Is the 490 still being made or did the 500 and 501 replace it? I know Randy built a mean one...

 

[Miller Mod Saws]

500 was first than 490 than 501. Someone correct me if I'm wrong. lol

Good job, Carl. Couple of great running saws you have there

Hopefully someone else has a couple great running 501p before long. Lol. I just bought these to play with and sell.

@WSE15 is there a chance they make a factory mesh filter for these? Instead of the felt

The Australian Shindaiwa 501SX comes standard with a factory Mesh filter mate

Air filters are interchangeable (dimension-wise) for all Echo/Shindaiwa 50.2cc chainsaws. Standard filters according to IPLs:
Echo CS-500p: A226001090
/Shindaiwa 502S: A226001040 / A226001090 / A027000140
Echo CS-490/Shindaiwa 491S: A226001090
Echo CS-501p: A226001090
Echo CS-501SX/Shindaiwa 501SX: A226001580

... these filters are used also in some smaller models:
Echo CS-390ESX/Shindaiwa 390SX: A226001580
Echo CS-452ESX: A226001580
/Shindaiwa 452S: A226001030 / A226001040 / A226001090

A027000140 mesh200
A226001030->A226001580
A226001040 mesh300
