Both clones are about 1/4" thicker than the Echo because of the shock absorbing spring inside.

@HockfireSaws looks thicker on the v modest then the knk

@@JamesOneill-x5i You are correct. I just measured and the KNK is 1/8" smaller than V-Mod. And I flubbed my response a little. The KNK does not have the 2nd spring for soft start. I have the secondary black screen on my Echo which adds width and makes it wider than the KNK.

@HockfireSaws I've got the echo cs-2511 was going to get the v modest for a back up saw are they good

@@JamesOneill-x5i They are. I've had one beside my Echo since it was released and I've run them head to head on many occasions. The V-Modest is not as fast but it does have more low end torque. The smaller carb would account for both. My Echo is heavily modified so my comparisons aren't real fair. I seem to grab the V-Mod more often when I'm out in the woods because it's quieter than my piped Echo. I haven't had a single problem with it.

They have 4 different variants of the 2511. Some with 3/58LP and some with 1/4'. there is an option for a 10" hard nose bare in the book but I know 12" are available too. I have one of the 12". The bar says .043 but the groove is actually almost .060 and a .050 chain fits just fine. I only have one and I think a fellow is taking it today. Here are the saw model numbers: KM0403254 KM0403254A KM0403255 KM0403255A

I didn’t put the screws in when I made the comparison but the starter did seem to fit. If I get a chance tomorrow I will have another look.

@HockfireSaws appreciate you!

@@sonofsteve566 I'm sorry it took so long to get back with you. The V-Modest starter almost fits the Echo 2511 but not quite. It fits on ok but the screw holes are just a tiny bit off. If you drilled the holes out a little bit on the V-Modest starter it would probably fit. I can't say for sure because I tried it with one from a new saw and I don't want to mess it up.

@@HockfireSaws no need to apologize, so its the handles I'm wishing to know if interchangeable

@@sonofsteve566 It would function but they are different where they meet up with the cover. The OEM fits down in the cover where the V-Mod fits over a little stub. It would look a little odd is all.

Echo carb will fit but may be a little hard to tune due to cylinder differences. They work very well on ported cylinders. The air filter will fit if you also change the mounting plate. Engine parts will not interchange. Echo = closed port, V-Mod = open port cylinder.

I do believe they are working on it.

They are not. The cylinder bolts to the crank case with 4 Allen bolts then that assembly bolts into the saw chassis.

@@HockfireSawswill the Egan 2511 pipe fit on the v moddest

@@ryannogle7241 I honestly don't know. I'll ask around though. I don't have any OEM or AM mufflers for the Echo to try.

The clutch pack, spur drum, bar and chain are all the same for these two saws and the original Echo. All interchangeable. You could put the nano on just the same. In fact I have a customer that did it already and he loves that setup on his.

@@HockfireSaws Awesome thank you.

99% sure they are open but I will ask the guy that ported mine.

@@HockfireSaws I'm gonna try porting my v modest maybe today. I'll see how easily it comes apart and I'll know more about it. I seen a video from Charles brisco and he seems to have found an amazing amount of power in his by doing his build

@@matthewknight5641 Lots of red loctite on things. You may need a little heat here and there.

You can carefully pry the switch out of the handle to make sure both waiters are still plugged on. If they are, you can carefully remove the engine cover and trace the wires to check for damage and connections. If all looks good then chances are the switch went bad. It happens. It’s a mechanical thing and sometimes mechanical things break. I’ll gladly send you a replacement switch if that turns out to be the problem. In a pinch you can use the choke to kill the engine when a switch fails.

Carb adjustments are just a fact of life with a 2-stroke. As the engine settles in its efficiency changes so small adjustments are to be expected. Temperature changes and altitude also necessitate small adjustments. The small screwdriver in the tool kits is there for this purpose and countless videos here on UA-cam provide excellent tips on how to properly do it.

Thank you, loose wire after prying out. H jet needed backing off. Saw is ripppin once again.

@@user-eo7vn1fy6c Fantastic!

I sell them for $159 including US shipping after a full inspection and test run.

On pull cord side.where to get replacement parts

@@chachi2481 sorry I didn’t see this until just now and I’m at a farm show all day. I’ll get with you tonight. We can certainly get parts, I have many on order but it will be a couple weeks until they arrive.

​@@HockfireSawspull cord not engaging flywheel sounds like coil is stripped when I pull.when assembly is off pull sound fine

@@chachi2481 I will pull one apart this afternoon and have a close look to see if there is something that can be tweaked inside. I'm thinking maybe just slightly bending the two metal paddles on the flywheel may help with engagement.

@@HockfireSaws well now I believe I need the whole pull cord assembly with coil.where would I get that part I don't have a part # & the ones on Amazon don't seam to match.

It’s possible this might help. Not saying for sure but maybe. ua-cam.com/video/t-kB1oqhQ6Y/v-deo.html

@@HockfireSaws I ran the screw at the extreme setting on both ends and still leaving a puddle when stored. Just not my luck.

@@colebarnett199 well rats. There is a couple things you could try in order to nail down the source a little more if you want to. The first would be to run it enough to get it nice and warm, a dozen cuts or so, then dump whatever oil is left in the tank and let it sit with the cap back on. If the puddle is much smaller then we can assume it’s originating from the tank and not just accumulated oil in the clutch area. Next would be to do it again but leave the cap off or loose so no pressure can build up in the tank from the heat. If the puddle goes to near nothing then I would assume a leak prior to the pump. At least then you have an idea of where to look closer and go from there. The other route is of course, return it for a refund or replacement. Replacement may be close to the end of the month though. Their stock was real low a couple days ago and the next batch doesn’t land until the 20th. It will take a few days for import stuff and getting them sent out.

@@HockfireSaws thank you!

I don't have a web site up yet (been saying that for 1 1/2 years) so for now you can get with me via FaceBook.com/hockfiresaws or email hockfiresaws@gmail.com. I'd be happy to get you fixed up.

I think I could but I would have to get a shipping price. Send me an email hockfiresaws@gmail.com

Shoot me a message through my facebook page if you can, that way when I get to the shop this afternoon and see it I'll remember :) facebook.com/HockfireSaws

Yes. I did a video on that last night too. Check my channel.

Tried a few. Most don't. I think the clutch is the only thing that does so far but I haven't tried anything but what I show in this video. It's like everything is tweaked just enough to not fit.

Ha yep! Baby steps :)

I think this 2511 clone is not the same as the chainsawchainsaw, those are 2500 clones i think like neotec ncs2500, maybe im wrong but i have neotec and this saw that i need a replacement for 😅 neotec is still goin strong, this saw is so light.

@user-eo7vn1fy6c the company is same. U see the bar it's written chainsaw on it. That's how I found out.

The 2500 is quite common in the Chinese clone world with many variations made by several companies. Those are based on the Zenoah or RedMax G2500 made in the early 2000s. This saw, the 2511, is based on the Echo 2511T but has many small differences. Only a couple parts actually interchange with the Echo. It looks similar, weighs similar and performs similar. It doesn’t rev as high but I think it has more low end grunt than the Echo. And though there are power gains to be had with porting, it’s not nearly as big a difference as with the Echo. Cut speeds improve in the 20 to 25 percent range whereas with the Echo a 40% gain is possible with the right builders.

@HockfireSaws I own this v modest clone. And I saw video of urs abt conversion to 1/4 chain and sprocket. Will that conversion work on this clone as well?

😮
