This was my first Echo chainsaw. I bought it used from a guy in North Pole who cut firewood consecutively from 2008-2018. I have kept running it as my primary firewood saw since then.
No electricity or oil stove, i burn a fk-ton of firewood hear in interior alaska. Can see below zero in october and even april. Burn wood continuously from august 15th to middle of may.
The saw has only needed rim sprockets, drum bearings, bars and airfilters. It is one second behind my muffler modded echo cs 620pw cutting 12" alaskan birch, in timed cuts. It is alot faster than the neighbors new stihl 261 or my muffler modded echo cs 4910. They have a higher compression ration than a 4910, and rev higher too. Bigger bore diameter
Recently, the flywheel side bearing makes a smidgen of noise, also minor scoring near intake and exauhst.
Saw has now been delegated to cutting canoe trail, which is the most aweful job, plunging in creeek mud, water and debris, until the death of the saw. Muffler opened up and intake/exauhst polished a bit.
Press-fit hardened steel oiler gear, never strips in the below zero weather, like the plastic ones.
This past season, roled a whole load of logs on top of it, when wood sled flipped over.
11.5 lbs dry and clean, on a scale.
Anybody ever run one of these fkn kioritz 13800 rpm clamshell animals?
