Always fun wheeling, dealing and trading saws, parts, bars, chains etc etc. All party’s happy.



2016 OE 372xp mahle topend. 372 just getting ready to start 3rd tank.
2021 490 that been ported. Was told maybe 20 tanks so far.
Switched 372 back to how it was shipped. Pulled the high top stuff off. Took the big dawgs and full wrap off. Back to low top and small inner dawg with half wrap.
Put my afm muffler I did for other saw on it so he could have the big piped muffler he had on it back.
490 has spring assist start.
Ran a couple locals echo 4910 and sort of was wanting one to try out. Also was looking at echo 501.
Echo 490 has different piston and cylinder. P more like slab side 372. Quad port.
4910 501 p more like 440 piston style.
Reading 490 is a turd stock. But this one with just blind port work a local does seems to run pretty good.
But by Joe's dyno runs so does the 4910 501 stock leave lot on table to be fixed by porting.
