Echo 590 deal and tune

[dgb84]

Found a pretty sweet deal on a new 590 echo today. A lady was selling one nib with a 20” b/c on Facebook for $275 cash, so I scooped it up. Already trimmed the limiters and removed the inside deflector from the muffler. Prolly spend some time tuning it a bit this weekend. Anybody know about what the sweet spot is on these? I know it’s best to tune them in wood, but is somewhere around 12,500 where I’ll end up?

Thanks

Dustin

12.5 is a good start point for these stock.

12200 +-100 is the target rpm with well warmed-up engine (at least 12 or more 5sec cycles of WOT/idle)
