Just another junk chainsaw

PHO dry weight

 

[xyz123]

Matching up the kit. 3510.

Going with tan check side being dad cant get efree and goes through many gallons of ethanol mix.

 

[xyz123]

3510 weighs over 2.5lbs more then my 2511 rear handle. Even as used my 2511 lighter then 3510 PHO dry weight.

But book specs show close to same as the 2511 with egan pipe on it. Least hp etc.

Might need to compare. 25cc to 34.4cc 3510 has muffler mod too.

3410 1.7hp 3510 2.01hp and 2511 egan pipe 2.05hp and stock oem muffler 1.60hp


Echo 3510 34.4cc tuned 12.7k and new 3/8LP Oregon 91 loop. Muffler modded.

Echo 2511 25cc tuned 11.5K and new Oregon nano 325 loop. Egan pipe. Can hear still fat tune for working with.

Maple I cut this year over 9” but just under 9.5”.

Give me the Egan piped 2511 25cc all day.

But the 3510 will be perfect for dads needs.

The 3510 was tuned right. 12.7k.
I forgot I had my fat work set up on the 2511 with egan pipe at 11.5k. Should have leaned it up around 12.5ish too.

Here's one you might not have watched

Actually pretty cool.

But Farmertec operation way way bigger. They are more refined then lot of the other clone companies still playing catch up.

I'll post a few pics from 23.

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.

Tested echo 3510 one more time to make sure good enough for dad and easy to start and idle all day if set down too.

So far so good.

No way I would ever pay the $299 retail on one of these. I would have been disappointed. Even with my 10% off for $269.

Glad I found this used one for $100 shipped and just needed a carb rebuild and tune.

But a guy in my chainsaw group told me he has a 3510 and 180 and said it out cuts the 180. Which was good to hear.
Since I gave dad a 180 easy start many years ago. I just wanted something close to that to replace it.

Both the little echo's as used filled up.

Thread on old metal gas cans on my CRG.

Dang if the one I have was even older then ones guys showing.

I dont even use it even though like new inside still.

Red wooden handle taped.

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

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...

 

[xyz123]

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.

 

[xyz123]

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.

 

[xyz123]

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

Me give me the lightest as used one.

 

[xyz123]

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.

 

[xyz123]

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.
