    Taught me what I needed to know in 3 minutes. Not just another way to start this chainsaw, but the proper and safe manner in which to do it. Thank you for taking the time to post this.

    Just recently bought an Echo CS590 Timberwolf and when I start it I turn the switch on, then I pull the choke out 1st, in 1 pull it fires, Next I push choke back in and pull the cord and it fires up every single time. I've never used the compression release button by the way either, not once since buying it. I absolutely love this chain saw. My new Sthil 271 Farm Boss takes about 5 pulls to get it started and I store my saws in the house in their cases and I clean them immediately after each use every time I use them. Take care of your equipment and they'll take good care of you. Thanks for the video.

      You should use the compression release because it reduces wear and tear on your pull chord, wasn’t so much designed to reduce strain on your arm

    I was running this saw for about 2 hours at about a 30-50% duty cycle ua-cam.com/users/postUgkxfQm1wmg0ItKDLavxj1nXtQY9HP7EF504 and it did a great job. I used the lever for the built in sharpener to clear chip buildup out more than to actually sharpen the chain. It managed to cut some hardwood stumps much larger than it's size without bothering the neighbors with hours of 2 stroke noise.

    Glad to see so many people find success, unfortunately I’m not so lucky. Bought this a few hours ago, filled it up, started like a champ, let it run for 5 mins, shut it down for an hour and now I’ve been try to restart it for the last half hour with it not even giving a hint of restarting

    I've never seen a saw as stubborn to start as an Echo. I tried every combo, choke on, choke off, brake on, brake off, clean pre-mix fuel. Not even a burp with a squirt of starting fluid and I had to give up with fuel running out of the muffler. The kill switch is not engaged, so I'm at a loss. Gonna try a new plug next, and have been reading that NKG plugs are junk. The saw is very low time and I bought it new. I remember being able to drag out the old beat-up McColloch ProMac and could have it running in less than 10 pulls. Thinking I should have bought a Stihl instead.

      +John Try this: Ignition On, Prime, Choke On. Pull until it fires once. STOP. Choke Off and pull until it starts. Let me know if that is the secret combination.

    • @brianbaker359
      @brianbaker359 3 роки тому

      FiveCentsPlease my new Echo CS-370 is extremely difficult to start. The Echo manual says to push the primer bulb 8X which seems excessive but what do I know. Switch is ON, Choke ON and Throttle locked full open. It never even gives any hint of trying to fire up. I have never had anything this frustrating and I have Ariens, Toro, Stihl, Lawn Boy even Weed Eater and none of them are this hard to start. Plug looks good (tan colour) after I finally got it going and used a full tank of Tru-Fuel 50:1

      @@brianbaker359 I found the right combination to get it started above. Ignition On, Prime, Choke On. Pull until it fires once. STOP. Choke Off and pull until it starts and his has worked pretty well to get it started. However I've always been a drop starter for small saws though that is unsafe. A neighbor had a Pro Mac 610 and I would not drop start a saw that heavy.

    When my saw gets flooded and I need to wide open the throttle to crank it, I take a wooden wedge to slide over the top of my shoe to press up on the throttle fully. Wedge drops out as soon as your foot is pulled out.

    My echo started fine in the summer. Now it's autumn and around 0 Celsius. Impossible to start it. Or even when it starts, it dies out. My petrol Ford and diesel Mercedes are fine even at -30 Celsius.

    @junkman4126 2 роки тому

    First, you should always fill up the chain and bar oil, get in the habit of this, and then the gas. Reason 1. The only reason is that the saw can run and operate without the chain and bar oil but it cannot operate without the mixed gas. Put the chain and bar oil in first and you will never smoke your chain, forget the gas no big deal, forget the chain and bar oil you will be reminded when things start to smoke.

    If you have to watch a tutorial on how to start a saw you do not belong anywhere near a saw lmao. Never use 50:1 gas mix in a chainsaw. Idc what it says on the cap. If you want your saw to last a lifetime and get the most power out of it take off the muffler screen and run the saw on 32:1
