Echo 7310 build thread

[Funky sawman]

After using JB Weld in literally hundreds of intake ports without any issues, I'm not at all concerned about using it. I tried Devcon for awhile, but JB Weld is at least 10 times better for this application.

I'm not scared of pigs, white legs or jb weld randy! I can't do stinky feet though, like this one logger guy I was bunked up with in camp!

Keep top ring...

Drops the comp a lot more than one would think...

I see that. You are basically increasing the size of the combustion area down to the second ring so to speak. More space, less compression.

YouTube algorithm brought this up for me. Does anyone know who this is?

Thats jacob, he sent me a different video

Oh, thanks. Is he a member on this site?

I don't think so.

I don't think so.

Do you (or anyone else) know who built that 7310 for him?

Yes, and he isn't her either. They are both on the Facebook groups.

I’ve tore this saw back down for some changes. More on that later...

but here is the initial cut.

28” full comp/full chisel. Chain isn’t the greatest. Red oak crotch. I’ll get the next video in cants.

So far, this saw woke up a good deal. It needs more balls. But short of cutting the head off and machining one with a smaller chamber and wider band.....I’m stuck.

Looks good for a worksaw IMO, nice job.

Thanks for the build thread Brett.

I'm not a fan of those transfer caps. But the rest is pretty cool.

The carb.....is it tunable? On many Echo saws, getting it lean enough to make RPM is impossible without some mods to the carb.

What don't you like about them?

Asking for educational purposes only.

From what I've seen in build threads only......just want to point out that I've not had one on the bench....they have to be filled with epoxy or you will grind a hole through them. I have no problem using epoxy in the intake port, or even in the lower transfers. But I'm not real keen on using it to prevent an air leak.

 

[Nutball]

The caps look plenty deep for a leak to not be a problem, but I agree.

That's what I was wondering.

Need a small time aluminum die caster up in here.

 

[whitesnake]

Haha right, some custom billet transfer caps.

Randy spent the last 2 days helping me evaluate “need vs want” and I determined I don’t need another saw- cause I already have the greatests 70cc + saw made in the 395xp.

Seriously though, I have a 440/46d hybrid and a nos 7900 so I don’t need another.

Really good idea actually

@srcarr52 could whip some up on the CNC mill no doubt. With the new 7310 fad, I’m sure it would be worth the program time.

I considered making a dozen or so. Would probably be 5 minute run time per cover once I got the program written

 

[whitesnake]

Yeah probably wouldn't be too difficult. Would be much more comforting than JB weld.

Agreed, Randy. So I did this....


If I planned on keeping this saw, I’d be more apt to stick with the epoxy. But that’s a risk I cannot take when sending this saw to someone else.
