• Echo chainsaw carb fix...
This echo chainsaw was put up a few months ago and now it won't start. Let's find out if it's still fixable. We definitely don't want to spend lots of money only to realize it is too far gone.
I'm honestly thinking about covering the whole thing with gasoline and lighting it on fire because I'm so tired of trying to fix them after they sit for awhile
Same
It's that damn ethanol in pump gas. Ruins every fuckin thing!
this is a great video for everyone who has all the engine diagnostic tools.
You bet
And if you have all those tools....you have been duked!
You mean the pressure gauge and screwdriver and socket wrench you dont need the camera to see if the cylinder or the piston is scored you don’t need that spark tester to see if there is spark and a new carburetor wont help with the compression lost from a scored cylinder and why not check the piston ring since you were in there
Good video. I do compression tests on every engine I work on because if the top end is done there's no point in going further.
BTW you can test spark plugs off the engine using a piezo gas grill igniter (the red pushbutton deal you use to ignite most grills) an old spark plug boot, and a ~4" piece of solid copper wire for the outside ground. Assembly is self-explanatory to any mechanic. I've used mine for many years.
Ob Fuscated what you said makes a lot of sense. The compression was low as this saw was used for years cutting firewood for a homeowner. I might have to try the igniter idea. Thanks for watching.
@@INSIDEHOUSEGARAGE Thanks for for the vid and not taking 27 mins to say what you said in 2...Subed!
I bought an Echo 20" Timberwolf, and earlier today after numerous tries to start it, it never did. Brand new saw. I measured and mixed a second batch of 50:1 gas, and it still would fire up. Got tired of cranking. It smelled flooded. Returning it tomorrow for a full refund of over $400. Going with a "Husky" or a Stihl 20" as well. Thank you for the video.
Thank you J Neito for the comment I appreciate it.
On switch maybe
Smart move. I should have done the same. Total bear to cold start every time.
I had the same thing happen to me once on my CS590 but after I let it sit a while it fires up every time. It's also a phenomenal saw best value in the business.
Great help! Where do you recommend a carb rebuild kit from? Thanks
thanks, I would go to Ereplacementparts dot com
Great video. Maybe owner didn’t let engine warm up.
Thanks for the comment. Yes that is a possibility.
My 590 sat for 8 straight months. Same gas. Started 5th pull. Ran like a champ. Yall dont be talkin bout my baby.
LOL!!!
I bought CS310. It had hard time to start when it is new. Then I stop use for several month after no more than 3 hours use, it had start issue. I could not figure out what was wrong. It is echo and every thing looks like new. I do have bunch of echo two stroke engine products, they are all good. But this chainsaw is so sucks.
Sorry to hear that you're having problems. Thanks for the comment I appreciate it
Starting fluid? Are you kidding? Bad move. Use good fuel to prime it. Starting fluid will kill it.
Good
Thanks
Compression , ignition and fuel are all a 2 stroke needs to run. Easy to fix going through the process of elimination to find the fault
Thanks for the comment I appreciate it
I have the same chainsaw. Only two years old. I used it maybe for 3 hours. And it won't start. No way I'm going through all that trouble. I'll just buy another one.
Thanks for the comment I appreciate it.
In Russia, this saw is called ECHO CS 3700-es.Tell me exactly how much horsepower is in this chainsaw?
Thank you SVK for the comment. I dont have the saw anymore so I dont know.
I bought this cs-590 saw and it won't start and I've done everything you recommended on your videos this and it still will not start! A whole day wasted. Next time I will buy a stihl
did you try doing a compression test? and Stihl is a good choice
Why did you have to put it on your other channel
so this was original concept of the 2 channels, one was introduction and diagnosis, the other was repair. Turns out People hated the concept. I wonder why.
Help, I have a brand new 3510 with no spark tried new plug, no spark, replaced cool and still no spark???????? Wtf... Why no spark even with a new plug and coil,what else is there???
.
did you make sure the switch is in the correct position? if So, I would take it back where you bought it.
@@INSIDEHOUSEGARAGE the switch on a 3510 is just a loll switch, has no on off switch, found problem, is in the flywheel and the timing, when stroke is at top dead center, the magneto is almost at six O'Clock and the magneto
nice work
Mine is new and won't start
When was it purchased?
Here I can fix your echo.Take it to the scrap yard because the Echo cs800 is the biggest pile of crap from front to back I've ever owned.Dont waste your money.trust me
Where’s the fix?
the link was in the description.

Starting fluid, eh?
Thank you Ebaybow for the comment. If you can't find starting fluid try using some mixed gas or carb cleaner instead.
INSIDE HOUSE GARAGE,
Be sure to use the fancy starter fluid with oil in it.
Looks like your piston and ring/s need replacement.
Thanks for the advice. Yes there's a lot a wear so either a rebuild or a new saw is in the future.
Simple solution......go buy and EGo battery powered saw. It’s more powerful and you don’t have to deal with all this crap. Problem solved.
Trimming bushes
The problem is it's an Echo...
Thank you Patriotalliance for the comment. I appreciate it.
