DUDE! You're my guy man! I love your vids so much. I'm glowing that you commented on my channel. I actually reference you quite a bit and you have tought me a lot. This is a cool moment for me. I've actually gotten pretty decent at porting at this point. The 7310 is sooooo easy to get incredible gains from, but the 590...not so much. I've done one and have another lined up to get ported. That small bore and long stroke seem to cause some problems that most have issues with.

Glad I cud help

The hair. It's definitely the hair. My lovely flowing locks of hair is why you are interested in the channel.

@@novicelumberjack It is really nice hair now that you mention it...

Thanks man! Plenty of creativity going on...now I just need to learn how to act!

absolutley! All my Echos are good units.

Different timing numbers mostly and I think the 490 may have a limited coil. Check out Dyno Joe Mods. He did a video where he takes three of these saws and ports them then puts them on the dyno.

I like porting echoes

O ring will fix that issue 😉

@@codyrussow170 Do you own a 501p? It already has a factory O ring.

@@andybecker2693 no I do not , I own a 590 was just sharing what I did ... 7310 will be next saw u own soon

@@codyrussow170 Yea, the 590 does benefit from an O ring but the 501p has a weird shaped air filter base with a molded O ring but somehow the fines will get past it without grease. There’s a guy that makes custom air filters for the 590/620p saws. The 7310 is an awesome saw but it’s back ordered in most places or for sale at stupid high prices on FleaBay.

@@andybecker2693 lol ya hindsight 20/20 I should have paid an extra dough and bought the 620p but I'm not at all disappointed in my 590 .. grease around filter base not a bad idea at all ... I own huskvarna, stihl and echo I am becoming an echo believer...

Echo 501p

Have you ever used a Husqvarna 353? Right now, in its current condition, I would say the Echo 4910 feels just like my Redmax G5300 (which is exactly a 353 Husqvarna just different colors). If I was blindfolded, it would be very difficult to tell the two apart, but the Echo does weigh less. Power wise, it feels right there. Now when it breaks in, I'm sure it will be closer to my Jonsered 2153 (346xp). Jeremy's recommendation of the 501p is spot on. The 501p has an aluminum handle and I think it has captured bar nuts. Maybe that would be better due to the pro environment. But the engines are the same. In stock trim, the 550xp will out perform it, but as far as longevity, I wouldn't hesitate. I bought mine for $329. Can't touch a new 550xp for less than $600 around here, and it would probably be closer to $670. So, the Echo would be a fantastic back up saw, but has the potential to be a primary saw. Depends on which you like better. It's definitely worth rolling the dice on.

I doubt it.

Depends on what you need. They are vastly different saws. Do you already have a chainsaw? If so, what? The 4910 is LITTLE. Small saw for small work 16" diameter and less. 590 is much bigger and heavier, 22" diameter and less. If you are a homeowner who needs a chainsaw every now and then, and when you do, it is smaller stuff or you wanna pack it around on your 4-wheeler- then get the 4910 with an 18" bar. Much nicer to use than the 590. But if your needs are bigger...get the 590.

@@novicelumberjack I grew up in the woods working on an old saw my dad built, I couldn't tell ya what it was originally haha. But, I want the saw for an Alaskan mill to rip down slabs. I just wasn't sure that the cs4910 would have enough pull on it for that is my Main concern

@@brianfreland9065 neither the 4910 nor the 590 is enough to mill slabs with. Unless the biggest log you ever intend to mill is 16" in diameter. Seriously. I mill with two of my chainsaws. My 3120XP and 592XP. I would not recommend anything less than 70cc for milling, and even then...bigger. milling takes a massive amount of power and a lot of oil for the chain. I have videos of me milling on the channel.

@@novicelumberjack I'm just doing small stuff for my personal hobbies and interests. I'm not making counter tops or anything. Shelves, decorative pieces or even a 2x4 or 4x4 if needed for something. Nothing crazy but I also want it to be able to be a tool for taking down a small tree and bucking a ton of wood up for processing and splitting. I just cant imagine needing more than 60cc for that but I'm not sure the 4910 would pull a 20-22inch bar. I'm thinking 60cc with a 20-22" is a good middle ground but what do I know haha I've pretty much already made up my mind, I guess I'm just wondering if $420 is a good price for a 60cc pulling a 22. The next step up I'd buy is a husqvarna 562xp at 780 bucks. The $420 tag on the cs590 is why I'm even considering it cause I dont believe the extra 2 cc is worth double the price of the 590 haha

@@brianfreland9065 Well, the 590 would be better to mill with than a 562xp. But mod the muffler. Gotta get that heat out. Don't even attempt to mill anything with a bar bigger than 24" (a 24" bar is only physically capable of milling about 16"). Leave the carburetor stock, but open up the muffler and the 590 should do the job for you. A 562xp is high strung and runs hot already. The 590 has a long stroke, lower rpm, and better suited to milling.

I've got a video of my modded 4910. It might seem slow because it's on the fat side but I tuned it last night and it could beat a mk2 husky. I might post a video tonight of my new tune

Who? Charlie and mweba? Ohhh, you probably mean the folks at the store, yep, I told them.

Does that work handle trick work on the 590?

DUDE I LOOKED FOR WEEKS FOR THIS COMMENT!!! I -knew- that someone had mentioned a full wrap that almost fits the 4910/501. I finally picked up my 501 today. Gonna pick up a chinese and give it a shot. Thank you SO much. I assume it's a little "big"?

​@@mattfleming86Hey MF, We're you able 2 put the 372 handle on the 4910?

Japanese. Echo is Japanese.

@@novicelumberjack oh ok well still not as bad as chineese lol
