Just another junk chainsaw

I had one of those I bought at a garage sale. It was crushed by the ZTR operator! lol

And just think, they didn't have to pay a single penny for the design or engineering. They just stole that off the companies who did and started making the product.

That's my beef with the clones. They are profiting off of someone else's work. Their entire existence is due in part to others.

Given enough time, and we have the fulfilment of the ancient Chinese proverb, which most will not connect the irony of...

Thank goodness for clones IMHO.

You wouldnt believe the amount of people that want them. The good old saws.

Mainly firewood cutters, mill guys it seems.

Stihl 200T 260 440 460 660 880, Husky 372 395 3120 272 288

Just the parts supply alone for the older OEM saws have helped a ton too.

Making old saws great again.

Always nice to find the part you put in a safe place just a day ago for a guy.

Poulan 5200 throttle linkage. NLA

Way to much time spent trying to find where I set it in the shop, 3 different times looking.

Porter in CRG FB did all 3 to compare. 550 346 501.

Me give me the lightest as used one.

Past saws. All ported but the one 365.

No brand loyalty here, they need to earn my trust in the model.

Pick the best from the makers for use.

Even doing that still today.

Echo 2511.

Just seen they make 18" 20" 1/4" mini micro bars for these. Why no clue.

But ported seen it cutting right through like hot cutter.

Think that would be better on a rear handle one.

I put a 14" on mine even with nano 325.

This guy in my group is really pushing the limits of his 2511.

It did make the cut he showed.

Finally put on the new Shindawa exhaust on the CS490 with 20" bar.
Seems to be a very nice power upgrade with a little screw adjustment.
Reason it took so long is the screw that Echo puts on the exhaust are so soft I had to buy a small extractor set to get it out.
Went and did some cuts and noodled a close to 30" ash round and it pulled like mad.
Probably not much added oompf , but it certainly makes a difference.
Cheapest noticeable engine upgrade I've ever done, other than drilling holes on other exhausts.
