Just another junk chainsaw

No other reason besides I knew I could make it work.

Started out 6” 1/4” mini micro set. Guess it thinks it’s cold already. 3” with spike. 4” without.

5.3oz total b+c, after done.

What a clone and oem 2511 look like with bolt on cylinder with mag crank area to bolt into the plastic cases. Not clamshell style like some do.

These style can be base cut, squish cut etc for porting done right. For those into such.

Same way the pro built stihl 150T 151T does them too.

Friend showed us a clone tear down he was porting for US dealer.

I saw that title on this thread and immediately thought "this must have Stihl equipment in it" but surprisingly I don't see much Stihl garbage in here.

You want some stihl. Plenty of stihl come in.

You wouldnt believe the folks that cant get their stihl's started.

Here was a worse case one I had to redo for a local.

I just laugh and point to a sign when the stihls come in. Guys so mad they cant get them started.

It has nothing to do with brand. He has to do with owners and the maintenance of OPE IMHO.

I recall the 242 being around 15.5k. Then the OE 346 45cc 14.7k.

This new echo 501 I picked up says 13k-14k max in info. But I turned her down to a safe 12.8k if I recall right. I like saws to be hair fat enough to clear up in the cut. Not so fat they dont preform though.

I do recall Hydro having a 242 also, and 15,000+rpm Crazy. The Shop's Owner's Son PDI'd that one But I do remember him grabbing my Tach and asking if it went to 15Grand.

If you ever need a decomp plug for a newer echo. They will scare ya pricing one. 14 buck and if not buying from dealer add shipping too.

So for 2 bucks I made one. Just rednecking with hacksaw and grinder.
Guys with a lathe could do them really nice.

Use copper washer for crush ring. I didnt have one local so used brass for testing.


No you can not use husky, stihl, dolmar makita etc decomp plugs. One shown beside the one I made.

I'll post oem ones for echo too.
