Love em or hate em, Echo has the best quality to price machines on the market right now. The 4910/501, 590, 620, and 7310, are incredible saws for their price points. What are your thoughts?
Hard to argue that. They are a serious value

I even bought Brand New & never even started from a genuine Echo dealer 2011 CS550P. Little retune for my fuel mix and I even got Cannon to make a bar for it (wanted to run 3/8 full size chain) and I’m quite happy (it’s got plenty of giddy-up for my 16” 60DL count full comp choice). I got it for a SCREAMING $339.00! Sad part, the Cannon bar was $115.00, but worth every penny because it did what I wanted!
BTW, I just got it THIS YEAR! He ordered way to many at some point and seeing as Echo moved onto a different model of saw & this on was now passé he had way to many & just wanted to rid himself of them so he sold it at cost.
I know that it’s been talked about elsewhere that it wasn’t nearly the hit that Echo had planned for but hey, it’s been a great saw for me!
I've got a 4400, 600p and a 620p. I like 600 and 620, the 4400, not so much. When I ported the 600 and 620 I dropped the exhaust down to 109, looking for more torque. I'm sure they aren't as fast as a professionally ported one but the run pretty good.
Stock 620
Just a muffler mod, 2-3 seconds faster

It's not really that big, around .040, the piston is domed and the outside part I cut to match the angle of the squish band makes it look big.

It looks big enough to have some pretty good compression though!

I have an echo 440 evl for 30 plus years. Haven't ever replaced a single part on it. Question to everyone. A friend gave me a 290 evl that needs the plastic rope pulley drum that's been discontinued. Part #17721506530. Can't locate on eBay or amazon. Any suggestion or leads? Thanks!
