Don't let em make you wait forever, took a 1 week course in climbing, tree felling,trimming, removal, started my own business immediatly. Been climbing 30 yrs now. Go for it. Went from working on Mercedes Benz, to arborist/ lumberjack.

@@treeguyable No kidding you went from Mercedes Benz to tree work. I'm in the same boat right now, recently applied to a large tree company after six years with Mercedes. Small world.

Run before it is to late. Tree work is no place for a respectable person lol. Who you with? Residential or line clearance?

I like the way, that the cordless is not used to torque down the screws. Nothing beats the feel in the hand of an expert. Have a good one!

He reminds me of me.

take care of your tools and they'll take care of you!

My garage looks like Scotty Kilmer's dangit

moaski love my 355t

Make sure and let me know how to see your videos! Enjoy the felling =)

No, just "modified". Wink-wink.

Could also buy Nimh batteries for a fraction of the cost of those 20v. I bought 4 and a charger for my DeWalt set for 100$.

@@deafcommplays7676 And have a half dead drill every time you reach for it. Nimh and nicad batteries are garbage compared to lithium.

@@lunchboxproductions1183, I think you forget that Nimh batteries dont have memory like Nicad

lol, I fix them myself anyway, warranty or no! =) I don't hate on any music, but my choice is usually based on what emotions I'm feeling at that moment.

Yeah I bought a 271T to replace my now retied Homelite xl.

@@mikeqendro9601 hahaha that's funny, same here

I was raised on Homelite. Still have my dad's 1970 C72 beast and we got the XL about ten years later.

@@mikeqendro9601 that's awesome, I just retired the xl 12, and the super ez. Wonderful saws that my grandfather gave me. Drained all fluids and put them away! Glad to see other people have used some homies

Don't know where you got that tank housing from, but I would have sold it to you for 132.99 plus shipping. That is my suggested retail for the part from Stihl.

Also, you don't need to disassemble it nearly that much to access the muffler. Just remove the bar and the plastic that covers it, then the two screws under there that hold the plastic muffler cover, pop it off and you're there.

Matt K same😂😂😂😂

I bought one after using one. At first I laughed at the sight of the little thing. Then I used it and my mind was quickly changed.

Bonjour, savez-vous à quoi sert le trou qu'il a fait ? C'est dans le silencieux ? Merci !

@@HLC32 bonjour je pense pour decalaminer le pot d'échappement j'ai déjà entendu dire cela. Salutations

@@passionnature5690 merci ! :)

@@passionnature5690 je pense pas plutôt pour donner plus de puissance à cette mignonne à mon avis 😉

Bjr tu as peut-être raison 🤔

Sorry for your pines =( Opening up the muffler reduces back pressure and allows more air to pulled into the cylinder, along with more fuel, means more power =)

Jesus IsGod By modifying the muffler, he’s allowing more air to pass through the engine (at the cost of increased sound) and thereby increasing the amount of power the saw can output. From the factory most saws these days are weaker than they should be as air can’t escape the restrictive mufflers fast enough, but companies want their saws under certain decibel ratings if possible. It’s a trade off. Just remember what you need for any fire; fuel and air. The more air you can push through the more fuel you can push through, which is why on vehicles you have things like turbo’s and super chargers. (Boost via increased air pressure) There are other modifications that can be done on these saws, like a timing advance (getting your spark at the opportune time) and aftermarket bore kits etc, but that’s all a topic for another video. Hope this helps

seth364 with more power you need better exhaust flow 😳

Thanks, Paul. I did not realize God had an opinion on Echo saws.

@@seth364 how does the mod compare to adjusting the high screw on the carb? I just got a couple old chainsaws and want to adjust them to their peak performance, and maybe do a similar muffler mod, but probably not

I have that saw & really like it ... break it in easy first.I'm old (retired) so I doubt I will mod this saw (gets used less than I would like.But I taped an inch & a half piece of foam pipe wrap on the back of the handle & now my hand doesn't slide away from the trigger ... kept buggin the crap outta me ... the only good tree is a stump

Great vid Cory

Could just rebuild the battery.

My favorite is my 461, the 661 is so heavy that I rarely ever use it anymore.

stephen sherman ??L

@@MegaLostOne Ahhhh, makes sense! I know zero about chainsaws, thank you for helping me understand! 👍

Nice, will have to try the oring trick

Getting more air/fuel into the chamber by getting more exhaust out per revolution

Personally I would never do this to a saw or any small engine. The back pressure created by the muffler is easily to the life of the saw.

@@jeremywhitt3108 drilling a hole in the muffler lets more air flow through the saw and prevents it from over heating on long hot jobs ivce done it to evreyone of my 3 saws

Oh sorry I didn't watch all the way before I commented above. I see you did the grease deal to on the filter.

I fatten all my echo saws up soon as i buy them....Rich as i can get away with tuned in wood for break in....so far so good.... keep us posted again thanks for the Videos....

Hight temp. Thanks for the tips, going to make a gasket as well.

Thanks for the cool videos

bc you could get metal shavings in the cylinder , not good.

@@John_D2 Thank you

Both are great saws

yep

@@Human1337 for the muffler mod you just have to drill a hole that's it?

was it crazy russian hacker?

I love mine, even just some simple diy mods really made the saw open up. Don't see me using it much lately as I haven't really been doing much pruning at all.

Thanks for the response bud

You guys and your advanced timing😂

got the 590 and 2511t as well. Excellent combo for everything i do on my 5 acres...

Just some lithium grease to seal any air leaks

bonjour tu es français ?

Been thinking about getting one, still not sold on them yet though.

@@Human1337 I've got the Kobalt 80v trimmer and it certainly competes with the gas consumer grade tools. The chainsaw is my next tool In the family to get. Can't do any fun muffler mods on electric though.

I think so. Mine ran poorly out of the box. Very cold blooded. It needed full choke for like 5 minutes and it would still die as soon as you touched the gas. Yes, the low speed was full rich against the limiter. Also, the powerband was very narrow. Throttle response also sucked. Quick throttle changes produced a bog. Way, way too lean. I ran it for 3 min. Then pulled the limiters, muffler screen and opened up the muffler maybe 20% more. Idk if this saw has a cat. If so, it's still in there. After opening the mixture screws almost a full turn each, it's a new saw. Immediate power off idle. I'm blown away. It cuts like a 40cc. Also, run a air cooled 2 cycle oil at 30:1. Not 50:1.

MENERGY

also your chain is just a tad too tight

He turned up the high idle on it a 1/3rd turn. Thing sounds awesome now.

What Greg said, have to increase fuel as well or it'll lean seize.

He pulled the EPA locks..or covers, then adjusted the fuel mixture.

Running the stihl 3/8" picco now, bought a 1/4" bar and chain for it, need a drive sprocket now though.

Thanks, that seems to be the popular choice

Thanks

Human If it shares the same crankshaft size as a cs-355t try an Oregon 544679X for a 9 tooth rim or an Oregon 544675X for an 8 tooth spur. If its different crankshaft size then these are a no go.

Baileys has the sproket
