Echo 750 in a box (or two)

[Gaston]

Ok boys and girls. I have a good one for you. Dear friend of mine has had this saw since new. About 4-5 years ago it started smoking real bad while running. He called me and I told him to check the bar oil level. He said it was using bar oil like crazy. Anyway, I told him the case gasket might be leaking causing it stuck bar oil in. So… he tore it apart as far as he could.

Fast forward to this week… I am visiting him in Idaho, where he lives. I live in Oregon. I see that old echo orange in a box under the bench. I say to him,” I am taking that saw home with me”.

So this will be a long journey, maybe. This is what I am staring with. Will be back home in a couple weeks. The build will continue from there, stay tuned……

It's about time you posted a build thread...

I think @ray benson can get you a service manual. Parts list can be found on echos website

I wouldn't get befuddled about it .Get an illustrated parts list and put it back together .I know exactly nothing about this model ,never even seen one but somebody does .Do a little research, you'll do just fine .

‘O’ rings on the oil pump gone bad/hard will cause the engine to suck bar oil.

Ive had a couple Echo 750’s.

Oil pump adjustment is near an art form. [emoji58]

Thank you all for the good info. I have never really messed with this era of echo before other than some minor things. Looking at the ipl, the oil pump o-rings are definitely a suspect

Ok finally had time to dive into this thing. Lots of new parts in these two boxes.

 

[Gaston]

Lots of old parts two. I feel like there are almost enough parts to build two of these things

Some nice exhaust flange damage one one cylinder. Pistons have some lower skirt wear. Guess I will measure them. I do have an new old aftermarket piston.

Might need to source a new clutch cover. This one has seen better days.
