What a great video. Replaced my clutch and ran an entire tank of fuel through before I realized it wasn't oiling. Why didn't I watch this first. Thanks for the great vid, Lester. I learned a ton.
Thank you so much for making this video! You definitely helped me to replace the oil pump on my CS-620P saw that was no longer working. Three of the gear teeth on the old pump gave up. The saw oils great again with a new pump!
Good video Lester. I run almost exclusively Echo equipment other than some ancient Poulan saws that I just like having. The cs590 is one of the most versatile saws we run it’s big enough to handle most jobs but not so heavy that it wears you out. The vibration isn’t bad either. I like Echoes warranties better than every other brand I’ve tried but I don’t really have much trouble with them.
Great video. I had the opposite happen. The connecting piece on my hedge trimmer attachment sticks out too much and won’t slide in. Any videos on how I can fix that?
I replaced the sprocket on my 620p I could not get the c clip back on then you explained the notches had to align with oil pump and it fit no problem thanks for the information
Very good video. I just bought a cs590, and learning about this machine means the difference in cutting and not doing so. Besides, doing your own mechanic work save a bundle!
Wow, Lester, this one got a lot more comments than some others! As I see more and more different saws it's interesting to me how different manufacturers address the the bar oiling concept. Some, like the Stihls I've seen so far, use a plastic worm gear, which to me is kind of crazy with that little rod that sticks out only on one side. Then there's ones like this Echo, which have a far more robust system with a rotating bar that engages 180 degrees apart and a separate metal worm gear that easily slides off. The Husqvarna's I've seen so far (rebadged Poulans and Craftsmans) that have a slide on spring-type worm gear that requires either a factory tool (no longer available), a DIY tool (what I'll be fabricating when I can get the parts) or flat-bladed screwdrivers and patience to get the gear off and a socket to put it on (but then having to make sure the coils are spaced correctly and the bottom coil is seated in the crankshaft groove). I think I like Echo the best so far. Then there's the Homelite XL Automatic Oiler (I've got two I'm restoring to flip) which has an impulse-driven diaphragm oiler - a completely different concept altogether. Never mind the manual oilers on a lot of older saws! ;-)
Whats up bud nice vid man i actually learned how to do the work myself im a new sub here today and a local service an repair shop told me it would be 74$ plus parts to service and repair my CS 590 echo chainsaw. The hell with that ill do it myself what tools did you use?
I have the same saw. Is it normal for this saw to get so gunked up with oil literally over the saw or is that because of the oiler problem? Also I think the oil on the bolts is making it difficult to keep the chain tight? Mine also clanks when running, now I know it is normal for that saw. Thank you very much for this video.
I was considering buying one of these. Is the oiler covered u see the 5 yr warranty? And how much use are people getting out of these before this happens. I want to buy a saw for about 20 hours of use per year.
I replaced mine and it doesn't change at all. It has a roll pin that only allows 1/4 turn. I removed the pin to try to close the flow and the whole adjuster comes loose. I tried 8 different amounts of turns and it still oils excessively.
Just a question. Impact tool set for removing the clutch for right hand threads and you finger tighten the clutch before putting everything back together
Hi Lester, great video. I have question on. Stihl FS38. Could a totally plugged muffler blow out the crank seals or block gasket. Mine was totally plugged and now I can’t dial in the carb, so I’m thinking air leak. I know I’ll have to take out the engine, do I need to split it to put in new crank seals? Unfortunately, I don’t have the means to do a vacuum or pressure test. Thanks
I've tried to get the right clutch removal tool for this saw twice now from amazon. both times it said it was for the CS-590. Neither time did they work. Any ideas on where to get the right CRT? Thanks
Are you sure the bar, sprocket, chain are the same pitch? Have you replaced either one of those components recently that might have been mismatched? Maybe a new chain on a worn sprocket?
Do you know how or can you tell me how to replace the chain brake spring? I had to replace all the chain brake components but can not get the spring on.
@@lesteroliveintheshop9825 I just wanted to let you know I actually got that spring on & in place, that was a pain in the @as but it's done and the chain brake is operating as designed. Just wanted to give you a heads up and save you the time from irritation 😂
Hey Lester, Bc of ur video, I did this w/o a problem. Yet it still isn’t pushing oil out right. I cleaned clogging areas but still no real flow (new oiler). Any thoughts on things that could cause this? I checked without bar and oil slowly comes out so I thought maybe the b/c oil wasn’t warm enough. I let warm up. Still nothing. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
You can also lock the chain brake and pop the throttle once or twice. The left hand threads cause it to tighten in use. As long as it doesnt spin off initially, it's a self solving problem. I just go till "snug" and let the horses under the cover wrench it tight.
@jaredglass2562 this was a great vid appreciated it cause I learned to do the work myself instead of a local repair shop that was gonna end up costing me over a 100 bucks .

I learned as well saved me a shit load of money
Thanks Lester. This is the only video I've seen on UA-cam that addresses this common problem with CS 590s.
I appreciate you watching and responding

Just completed my repair following your steps - appreciate the help..
Glad it helped. Thank you for the feedback

I agree. They have the best warranty out the door, with no gimmicks.

Thank you! Got my worm gear and drive and new clutch on with the top oil hose pipe replaced TOO!

It is normal Mrs Jennifer
Great detailed video - Thank you

It is covered under warranty. It is not a common or likely problem.
I replaced mine and it doesn't change at all. It has a roll pin that only allows 1/4 turn. I removed the pin to try to close the flow and the whole adjuster comes loose. I tried 8 different amounts of turns and it still oils excessively.
Just a question. Impact tool set for removing the clutch for right hand threads and you finger tighten the clutch before putting everything back together
I caught that to....he never tightened it
Hey Lester, could you show how to tighten the clutch? Thanks
I’ll try and remember to do that.
Excellent video it helped me a lot
Thank you
Thanks for the training.
Thanks for video. Great Job!

jim s yes it is possible, but not likely
jim s but it could
jim s I’ve had a lot of carb problems on the fs38s
Lester Olive In The Shop I know the feeling, it’s been a pos since new.
3 carbs, I’m done with it
Thankyou for the info.
Thanks!
I have a cs590 that is leaking oil as it sits. its replacing the oiler needed to fix this or should I be looking at something else?
Most all of them leak a pretty good bit when they sit.
Dwhy do they leak while not using them, that makes a big mess and other saws don't leak if they do it's very little
You didn't tighten the clutch when reinstalling
Terrific video very detailed but audio hard to hear you
Where can I buy the “special” tool?
From an echo dealer
Amazon, but you can get by without one if you're careful and this is an infrequent repair. ua-cam.com/video/JEfyzfxK6_o/v-deo.html
I've tried to get the right clutch removal tool for this saw twice now from amazon. both times it said it was for the CS-590. Neither time did they work. Any ideas on where to get the right CRT? Thanks
Echo dealer
I put a cord in the spark plug hole and tap it loose with a punch and a hammer
I do that mostly too
Thank you for the video 😀
I thought you were never supposed to run a saw without a bar and chain? Is that just a myth?
thanks, bro
I have the same chainsaw. the chain often loosens for no reason. I tighten it but when it works it loosens again.
Is the oiler working?
@@lesteroliveintheshop9825 always works
Are you sure the bar, sprocket, chain are the same pitch? Have you replaced either one of those components recently that might have been mismatched? Maybe a new chain on a worn sprocket?
@@lesteroliveintheshop9825 the chain saw is new. Almost 2 hours work.
Is there a lot of wear on the sprocket
Do you know how or can you tell me how to replace the chain brake spring? I had to replace all the chain brake components but can not get the spring on.
It’s hard. I’ll try and remember to film it tomorrow and post it up tomorrow night. Hit me up tomorrow if you think about it.
@@lesterolive cool thank you so much! I shoot you a reminder message tomorrow morning, again thank you.
@@lesteroliveintheshop9825 I just wanted to let you know I actually got that spring on & in place, that was a pain in the @as but it's done and the chain brake is operating as designed. Just wanted to give you a heads up and save you the time from irritation 😂
I appreciate you watching and commenting
@@lesteroliveintheshop9825 no problem, I appreciate your content and you replying.
Hey Lester,
Bc of ur video, I did this w/o a problem. Yet it still isn’t pushing oil out right. I cleaned clogging areas but still no real flow (new oiler). Any thoughts on things that could cause this? I checked without bar and oil slowly comes out so I thought maybe the b/c oil wasn’t warm enough. I let warm up. Still nothing. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Did you try the oil adjustment screw?
Did you try what BitcoinSmash suggested?
Mine is leaking while sitting and not in use
How come he didn't tighten the clutch?
I did, but I tighten the clutch by binding the clutch in a piece of wood, which I accidentally edited out.
My repair skills are top notch. My video and editing skills, not so much, but I’m learning.
You can also lock the chain brake and pop the throttle once or twice. The left hand threads cause it to tighten in use. As long as it doesnt spin off initially, it's a self solving problem. I just go till "snug" and let the horses under the cover wrench it tight.
I think you forgot to tighten the clutch.
Bubba Fudpucker lol. I did forget. I remembered about 20 minutes after the video.
@@lesteroliveintheshop9825 That's why I don't make videos. I have a bad enough time getting distracted without a camera.
Forgot to tighten the clutch
Too much talk.
I appreciated it.
