Well, this is a direct shot to the airbox. I dont have the saw in front of me(its in the shop), but I dont remember seeing anything that would hood the screws. . It appears to be wide open past the access hole. Its very evident that the bulk is entering those two access points, it shows on the...

Hey Bob, there is a "gate" per say on the front of the carb area, used to use for summer and winter use. I cant tell you if it is a cost saving thing or not, but I have had several saws during the last 40 years or so and all of them had access to Hi/Lo screws. I think the issue is a design flaw...

Hey all, just wanted to give everyone an update on this issue regarding the 4910. I DID NOT clean the saw before taking it in, I wanted the saw mechanic see what was going on. Actually, two guys were looking at it and said they have never seen that much crap in the filter area...ever! So, the...

In all honesty, Echo has/had been making great saws. I almost pulled the trigger on a husky but opted for the Echo. Not saying I wont see this through, just wished I would have done more research!

That picture isn't my saw, its a pic from the web. Mine is already in the landfill!

Yea, I just don't get it. Its under warranty and I have seen pics of galled pistons etc on these saws. Echo doesn't seem to know anything about it...yea, right! Another member (Fabz) has a mod for the air filter assy, I will more than likely go with his mod after the warranty dept. tells me its...

Awesome, I will check it out for sure! Thank you!

That looks just like the JD saw,

I will get that plugged and see if it makes a difference, thanks for the info!

I never got into other saws, the 450V was made almost 37 years ago...lol. It was super lightweight with a ton of RPM and power! It wasn't that easy on fuel but dang...did it cut a ton of wood down through the years! Parts became obsolete and the oiler case got broken and wouldn't hold oil any...

This is the saw This is the Echo that just wet to the hopper, i bought it in 1986 from the JD dealer I worked for. That was the best saw I ever owned!

Thanks for that tip, I will do that to make the seal more robust! The real issue is, the filter will barely make it through a tank of fuel without it completely plugging up!

Yes, a mess! I went through 5 (lost count) filter changes/cleanings in 1/2 truck load of hedge. It isn't the mesh filter like on my old Echo 450V (John Deere) saw that I just retired to the hopper. I has some felt looking material all over it. Yes. I pull the choke to keep anything from falling...

Hey Oakie, attached are pictures of the filter I just removed from the saw. As I said before, the saw has to have a cleaned filter for every tank and yes, they are the correct filters in which I have three. The first time I pulled the filter, it wasn't sitting on the carb correctly and had to...

Thanks for the reply, its going in to see if there is anything noticeably wrong with the saw but I am sure, they will just tell me to pack sand as always. The first time I pulled the filter, it wasn't seated on the air intake so I had to put some bar oil on the packing to get it to go home where...

Hello everyone, new guy to the forum! Anyhow, off to the problem. I picked up a new CS 4910 at a big box store and headed to the woods. It ran like a scalded dog for the first tank and a half, then it started running crappy and lost power. Dumped fuel and open a new can of true fuel, poured it...
