Just another junk chainsaw

Looking at 271T IPL they show inside but I dont know how it would be being made like it is. GL and show us what you come up with.

2511 IPL shows another one can be used on case inner using 2 fasteners like normal.

I have to dissect it and figure it out yet. I will.

I have to say, removing the cat insert really woke it up and I see the heat from it can actually melt the outer shield too. I suspect in the near future, everything will have cats.

Cannot get over how light it is. I may have to sell a few Stihl's and get some more Echo's....lol

271T should be around 6.6lbs PHO 26.9cc.

The little 2511T is lighter. 5.2lbs 25cc

I had a little stihl 150T 23.6cc that was light. 5.7lbs. Needed the muffler mod big time too. No cat just small outlet.
Loved the 1/4" micro chain set up they used for limbing.

JC 2500T 25.4cc 6.6lbs aka Zenoah 2500 also done for husky and was that light.

Those saws have their places.

Current trend today is a muffled muffler it seems.

I forgot all about this older echo 280E 27.9cc 7.7lbs I owned.

Wasnt to impressed with this older one. But lot of folks loved them.

Looks kind of ratty.... Interesting inertia brake as well. Mine is much better thought out too.

Was made back in 1980-1993. So I would hope they are updated alot in last 30-40 years.

Echo was starting to get with it on top handles with these. It was a good one but still sort of old school.

Grey echo was like 33.4cc.

Shoot almost forgot about the solo 637 NE which was bigger cc then the OE 637. I really liked that saw.

Dang forgot about the cant kill it poulan 2000 33cc bought new in 94. Gave to dad to replace that pos mac TH. She came back rough after years of farm use. But cleaned up and back in the shelf for when needed.

Shoot I will throw these in there too 200T 338's OE and NE, etc etc. Then my clone G111T copy of 200T

Owned a bunch of TH's over the years. Folks like them more then me so always rotating saws.

Wasn't 'Solo' on Man from Uncle? I started a thread about canned gas but got no play so yesterday I bought a gallon of Trufuel 50-1 and a can of Red Armor 50-1 and interestingly, they both look and smell the same right down to the solution color. Wonder if they are the same or not?

The TF is cheaper than the Red Armor by a few bucks.

Non e-gas is tough here and very expensive too.

Dont know who Trufuel used.

SEF used VPracing.

None to be had around here. Just Red Armor and Trufuel. I prefer not to order online actually.

I have heard bad things about trufuel.

I like the alkylate fuel, which is Aspen fuel or Motomix. This dosen't dry out rubber bits and it dosen't take out the fuel pump diaphragm. I know it's expensive, but it's worth it.

Sometimes you just get lucky.
Bought from guy that bought it new. 2004 OE 353. No cleaning or messing with carb. 21F popped 2nd pull and off choke started 3rd.

After 45 years of cutting firewood and going through 5 chainsaws I am cutting back and purchased an ECO electric battery chainsaw. Having advanced in years I didn't like having to start the saw every time I set it down for more than a few minutes. I don't cut nearly as much firewood as I use to and the ECO is easy to use with instant start. It is no lighter than my old Husqvarna but runs as long as I need it with 2 batteries and seems to have the same power as the gas saw. Change of battery is faster than filling the gas tank and never any starting problems. Each battery lasts about an hour or so depending on what is being cut and charges in 1-1.5 hrs. At my stage in life it is just about right. Only have had it for one season so don't know about longevity.

I never leave my saws or trimmers with fuel in them anyway. I run them dry when not being used. Always have. My 028 WB as well as my 090 and 075 which are all over 45 years old are just fine.
