Just another junk chainsaw

[xyz123]

Finally broke down and bought a like new one to test out today. Echo 590.
Just wanted to see what this bang for the buck 60cc is about.
Husky 2 series guy bought it new and didnt care for it and went back to the older huskys.
So worked out for me to get it from him to try out myself.

For you guys not wanting primer bulbs or m-tronic or autotune 60cc saws. For $400 new this is going to be hard to beat. Pulled the 20" 3/8 70DL D176 bar mount so you know. In dry ash log buried no problems. They have a really long stroke crank. 37.6mm with just 45mm bore. They are not a rpm saw as this one liked 12.1K 13lbs dry PHO.

590 is the low budget one with spur and plastic handle. 600 is upgraded with rim drum and metal handle. The 620 is the top dawg of series with better porting cylinder, bigger carb etc. Also 620 can be bought in full wrap.

JFY

Took on trade and then sold and traded with another local logger. Was a sweet runner.

It’d be as good as new after you worked on it. Nice.

Same logger bought my full wrap 385 and this 372. Drives about 35-40mins to buy from me. So I guess it does say something.




More stuff to build for a local. Got the 2 cylinders cleaned up after being scored. 1 of them the piston had been installed backwards with pins in exhaust. :confused2:

590 needing alittle work. Was run to lean from factory setting or by past owner putting it against the stop on lean side. Still ran fine and pulled 140psi. I had fattened up when I got it against the other side of stop, till I pulled them last weekend.
No signs of nothing wrong till I pulled the muffler to open it up.

New piston installed already. Domed piston and like the cylinder layout. Long stroke too.

Inspect those chains.
While doing a guys chains yesterday I come across this. I went ahead and removed it and mended back.
