NOPE. The adjuster hole is in different location. Resulting odd ball chain drive links. Its like 71 links in 20 inch I recall. And 67 links in 18 inch husky bar.
I'm hoping you have them dialed in by the time I get to port mine

Have a new cylinder on order to push my personal saw. Until I get a lot of time on the test bed saw, my woods port numbers are real close to final. Sitting at 35% repeatable gains. I know there is more, due to the design....

I'm just trying to upload a comparative video from the 7310 vs 2 other saws. No spoiler, but I'm very disappointed by the saw, I expected much more from it.

It took me a while to realize.
I really don't think echo is trying to "compete" with husky/stihl in the logging industry...
I think they just wanted a saw to replace the old 680/800 designs. For the current customers.
Design/build 1 saw model, and retire 2 saw models at the same time.
Current owners will be excited to upgrade, and it is an upgrade over the 2 old models.
If they get some logging converts, I'm sure they will be happy to have new customers, but I don't think that was the goal with This new saw.
Keep is somewhat close to the other big brand offerings, while blowing the old model echo away.

Looks real good. Did you fab that up or is it an off the shelf full wrap handle?
I will say that after fondlering Joe's 7310 I was impressed with the build quality.

Hey. Anyone know if the coil is limited or unlimited on the 7310?
I don't believe it has a limited coil.

Thanks guys. Pulled the carb and got the limiters off last week. Finally had some time to tune the saw and run it today. Only thing I have done so far is remove the spark arrestor and limiters to tune it up. Plan to just burn through some fuel to loosen it up while I figure out what to do with the muffler.
