Unrelated to the OP's case, but wasn't there some sort of commotion regarding ECSaws a while back?

And, I did not know JR is ECSaws.

Interesting how someone takes the long route building a reputation just to flush it down the toilet.
I guess the temptation overcomes them.

Not the same person.

Sad story. Any ideas on how the first rendition seized?

First jug really looks like the bad batch of meteors cylinders DD gave away. The band cut and “16V” on top I’ve seen before. The ring of death is large.

Once you enter the arena of selling saws you’ve modded it’s a slippery slope. You better be able to eat some crow and back yourself up. It’s sad that some guys don’t get that and that these types of issues occur.

I’ve got pics of the porting on the first jug that were sent to Ken before saw was shipped the first time, large flat ports with poor bevel and jagged edges.
And I’d wager you’re correct on the cylinder and it’s origin.

OK, thanks for clearing that up.

 

[Fruecrue]

It is a shame that John is selling junk saws that he dicked with another man’s sticker on them.
One could easily infer that this saw was built by Copsey and drag his name through the mud.

Those meteor jugs would test a man’s patience. They have the toughest plating I’ve ever encountered. The one I did is still running fine, but took literally 3x as long to machine and grind as an oem would. It might explain the shoddy first result, but not the final outcome.

The thing I cant understand is why anyone would let their reputation get ruined over a few dollars.

 

[Duane(Pa)]

Pretty sad that a guy with literally scores of chainsaws would hinge his reputation on some Chinese clone garbage. Time to man up John and get your life back on track.

 

[Fruecrue]

There is more, you’ve seen how he treats his YouTube fans, but you’d never guess who he’d throw under the bus in defense of his saw riddled with AM parts. Hint, it’s someone we pretty much all call a friend.

I’ll hold that card and a couple others at the moment.

A little birdy told me John is aware of this thread.

John can stop this.
Pay the man, and I’ll shut up.
Consider it bonus points for doing the right thing, albeit a bit late.

Uncle Joe Biden?

Seriously, this sucks to hear Dave. Never met John but I've watched a few of his vids. I have no skin in this game but if you fellas decide to circle the wagons count me in.

That's what I love about this forum. We might grumble at one another sometimes, but let someone mess with any of us, and you'll feel the wrath of the entire lot.

People are proud and stupid. You know that.

Guilty!

 

[TreeLife]

Guilty!

Oh I'm definitely stupid. I've never been proud of myself though. I've been wrong, done things that weren't right, said things I shouldn't...but I always try to make things right and apologize sincerely. One thing I AM proud to say is, I'VE NEVER SCREWED A MAN OUT OF HIS HARD EARNED FUNDS. You're a special kind of pos for that, JR.

Is it this saw?

Parts of it...

Post this up on FB. So anybody else can read this fantastic thread about him

Hate to see this happen, hopefully John stands up and makes this right.

Hopefully it doesn’t come to that, but what other recourse does a man have in a situation like this?
Been a long time and now I’m told John isn’t answering his phone.

Agreed.

EC Saws has nothing to do with it.its just a sticker
