I have seen videos of a couple of cs 600s that looked pretty good. I would think the ported 620 would be a little stronger .

I think the 590 or 600 with and unlimited coil and some port work is a fun saw. I personally think the 590 is a bad ass saw to mess with esp cause all the haters think it's a total POS we should start a 590 build off :)

I stole this little gem of a brand new 490 off Fleabay for 250 to my door.

Saw bone stock and brand new in 12ish inch green wild cherry:

I pulled the tube from under the deflector and cut the front off of the deflector.

Nothing fancy but, I cut some simple gills on the other side of the muffler.

And now it seems much happier.


Good platform for a nice porting.

Went from 12-13 seconds a cut to 10 :) sweet little saw!!!

You could make one hellava sleeper with a cs590!

Checking online for some of the 620 parts, through the echo parts site, everything is showing unavailable.... Ignition, carb, wrap handle, mag bar clamp... Idk why

Thanks! I went frame to frame in the video editor and had 13 befor and 9 after. I know big time saw dork over here. I'd say it was worth the 30 minutes I spent on the muffler.

Sounds much better as well... I like those saws... Need to build and keep/sell/ponder *cough three, cough* Husqvarna 350s then maybe lol
