Are you saying the 510 doesn't use a rubber intake boot?, I know mine does, and all others, don't get me wrong, I love my 510 and 520, both are excellent runners and great firewood saws......
I really don't think Echo has ever really tried to get hung up In the "our saws are better than their saws" scene, true, their saws are choked up from the factory, and some models I wouldn't even consider, but there is a few in the line up, that with little work, become very good saws, am I a "echo only" guy, hell no, but I do own several certain models that I'm in no rush to sell, am I sold on strat saws or autotune saws, hell no, I've actually gone back to old school designs, I still feel it comforting to see that echo still has a couple saws in the line up that have been around for nearly thirty years, the 670/680 and the 800/8000, both very well built saws, and again, with little work become excellent saws, and I must lastly say with all do respect, I'm just an average firewood hack, otherwise my outlook might be a bit different......but not much......

Well said, I would never say Echo has no place in the market....ttheyost certainly do. Japanese have a great history in 2t and quality manufacturing, I'd just like to see them take OPE more seriously and make some competitive pro products. They have the plants to produce them, they just need to poach a few German/European engineers to catch up and be taken more seriously.I really don't think Echo has ever really tried to get hung up In the "our saws are better than their saws" scene, true, their saws are choked up from the factory, and some models I wouldn't even consider, but there is a few in the line up, that with little work, become very good saws, am I a "echo only" guy, hell no, but I do own several certain models that I'm in no rush to sell, am I sold on strat saws or autotune saws, hell no, I've actually gone back to old school designs, I still feel it comforting to see that echo still has a couple saws in the line up that have been around for nearly thirty years, the 670/680 and the 800/8000, both very well built saws, and again, with little work become excellent saws, and I must lastly say with all do respect, I'm just an average firewood hack, otherwise my outlook might be a bit different......but not much......
Ohhh, I never had to disassemble my 510, I thought it was plastic!
Maybe it has no movement like the CS-350TES one? The problem with 350 is the rubber intake and all the lines move with AV system...
Yep, both used a rubber boot......
