SOLD Red Beard Ported Echo 501p

[Nutball]

It has an air leak somewhere, it cuts strong for 1-4 cuts then dies and won't run until cooled off. Before that it has a somewhat fast unsteady idle. The carb was tested on another saw and is good, a good carb swapped on and same problem.

I don't remember seeing any scoring when I looked through the spark plug hole, that's the first thing I check.

It has brand new main rubber AV mounts. I think the clutch cover is cracked preventing the tensioner gears from staying meshed, and it has some cracks and the like here and there. No crank case cracks from what I could see.

I'm guessing it is either the cylinder gasket dissolved, or the case gasket failed, or failed bearing seals.

Loosening the gas cap doesn't help the lean condition.

That’s seen a hot minute of sun, but not much use, judging by the bar. What year? The sticker on the rear handle should have a month/date code.
If you’d post a starting price, people might be more ready with offers.

November 2019 on the sticker. Supposedly 1 year of use, and a year of sitting outside, but out of the rain.

$137.51 shipped?

If it is not an air leak I would also be looking hard at the coil.
I have had them cut okay and switch them off and would not start till they cooled down.
Just fixed a saw thee other day that was doing it, and the guy said if it got really hot it would
stop it's self.
If you have one of those spark testers put it in the line or do it the old way take plug
out and earth it against the cylinder.

I thought about that, but it hardly has a chance to get hot before it suddenly goes very lean.

I guess you’re kidding on the price?
