My dads had a 452vl for over 30 years. Its been a dang good saw... recently was given a 462 stihl. I prefer that to the old echo, but she still cuts as good as she did 30 years ago

I love my old Echo machines! Echo were quality then and still are now👍

An uncle of mine gave me that exact chainsaw. He got it without blade and chain from someone else and left it rusting and rotting in a shed for years. After he gave it to me, I tore it apart, cleaned it, installed an Oregon blade and chain... and it's been running great ever since. (Even though I'm certainly no mechanic.) I use it for rough work in S&M (sand & muck ;) ) and despite all of the abuse I put it through it's keeps purring like a kitten (like the one in your video). This bad-ass hasn't let me down once since I got it :) Yes, I definitely had fun watching the video. A big thank you from one of your subscribers (and fellow beer-lovers) in the Netherlands.

Nice video Mr. Steve. I have a McCulloch 3214 chainsaw that’s 26 years old. My wife bought it for me new as a surprise gift. Just replaced the gas lines, purge bulb, spark plug and carb kit installed. Runs like new again. Still has the original bar and chain. It hasn’t seen a lot of cutting, probably less than five hours total as we don’t have a lot of trees to cut but occasionally a large limb will fall and I will cut it up. The primer bulb went bad probably 10 years ago and watching these videos of yours got me motivated to get it going again. Thanks for all the great vids and tips sir. You are the best!

Hey BIG Steve I have the exact same saw with a longer blade. This was my very first saw that my mother bought me for Christmas many many years ago and it's still going strong.Never ever let me down a real thumper !!! I left this once for approx 2 years in the shed a tree surgeon was working at my place when his saw broke He asked me if i had a saw he could use just to finish off. All i had at the time was the old echo that had been stood for 2/3 years. Any way in the shed out with the saw same old fuel and yep it started 6 pulls if i recall. No one believes me when i mention this story but it's true. Now most of my equipment is Echo they just never let me down..Great Vid as always !!!!!!!!

She's a beauty Aaa! Steve after your comment on " look we can see right there that the oiler is working" made me think about that for a minute and I was thinking what type of pumping system is utilized to do this and how does it operate off of the engine. So that has me wondering if you have a video on Oilers and their adjustment and repair and operation. Like how do they set them for correct flow? Not to little, not to much. I think it would be an interesting and useful video. This was a great video. Thank you.

Awesome old saw Steve. Good on ya for laying off the suds a half day and wearing your PPE. Very good to see. I fixed a Echo CS 341 top handle saw that just wouldn’t start. They have notoriously sensitive carbs and I checked it by squirting gas in the spark plug hole (I like your method better). I rebuilt it, squirted it with carb cleaner and gave it a ride in the ultrasonic bath. No dice! Customer said he been cutting palm trees with it and they produce a really fine saw dust. Hopped on Amazon and $10 later and free shipping I put on a Chinesium carb and Bob’s your uncle she fired right up!

I got a Echo saw given to me because it didn't run, I adjusted the carb a little and we are off and cutting! Always love the videos and your positive outlook . Thanks Steve.

I have a Echo 400 EVL that I used to earn a living with in the early 1980s. Spent hundreds of hours operating it. Now, It almost starts, but hasn't run for maybe 5 years. I put it up on the work bench and followed along with your video. Like yours, it needs a rebuilt carburetor. I have project where I need it in the next two weeks, so it is time to get serious about getting it running again. BTW, back in 1982, I shopped for this saw by going to all the local saw and small engine repair shops and asked them which of the hottest selling saws, they repaired the least. Every single one of them said "Echo". I have owned it for 38 years now. It was rebuilt around 1992, but nothing since. Thank you so much for your video!!

Found a Kioritz Echo CS-302 in someones garbage while walking my dog one day. The pull cord was hanging out. Took it home, repaired the cord and put some gas with stabilizer in it.

It should be good for another forty years!

Got the same exact saw. Purchased new 10/22/1987 for $428.xx. It was a great saw for 20+ years. Been sitting up since hurricane Gustav. Just got hammered this year by hurricane Ida. Couldn't start it. In the past the trick was always to clean or replace spark plug. Never stored it with gas. After watching your video, I put a kit in it, and adjusted carb per your suggestion. It cranked on first pull and runs like a top. Super pleased! Thanks.

He reminds me of Red Skelton, a truly funny guy from yesteryear.

My first serious saw was an Echo 702EVL. Great power and reliability. The weak point of that design was the chain oiler. It threaded into the crankcase and ran off a lobe on the crank. Over time the backlash in those threads would cause the thread to fail and even if you put a helicoil in it you would have an air leak. I really loved that saw. Same happened to others I had.

Steve I had a professional 602 eco compression release, wonderful saw. Used a chisel chain an it really could process the wood.

I have a CS-803EVL Echo runs like a champ, cuts like dream! Keep bringing us the videos, Don"t miss a one. Ron B Michigan

Great video! I got hold of an old Echo 500EVL with the 50cc engine. Same no start problem you had and I wound up taking apart the carb and cleaning it out and got it running. The owner's manual calls for a 25:1 fuel mix or, 50:1 with a "special" oil approved by Echo. I tried the 25:1 and it ran somewhat sluggish. As expected, it runs much better on 50:1. What fuel mix do you recommend for these old Echos?

Good call highlighting the safety aspect - chainsaws are nifty but nasty. That lovely old saw starts and runs easier than my (bought under duress - last one in town after a big storm) Tanaka TCS-33, that's for sure. Takes a miracle, an act of Congress, and some dark magic to get my saw started, and has since the day I bought it... Think there's a design flaw resulting in the carb flooding but the cylinder itself not getting any fuel - tilting it forward can sometimes help. Ever seen such a thing?

Loved the Echos of the mid 80s. Dad had a smaller model very similar to this one in the video. I wanna say it was a 3hundred something VL. The problem we often had was that the fuel line would get hard where it laid near the cylinder.

Great video! Gets me fired up as I work on the classics!!

What a great saw. Thanks for sharing.

@@johncollins8304 It goes both ways, to the Japanese too (or for that matter the French, Dutch, Italians) brand names like "John Deer, Coca Cola, Fridgidaire, Buick"etc sound strange, rough, archaic. As for them choosing "Echo" as a brand name, back in the 1950's when Japanese companies were starting to go global, their marketing depts researched into brand names for the export market. These fitted well with marketing. And so they came up with Brands like "Nissan" Fairlady, Toyota (originally "Toyopet"), "Sharp" etc. Just for your info, Japan is the No1 nation in the world in quality metal work, plus other production like machine tools, electronics, aerospace, land, sea and air transport etc. That TV or computer that you are using is Chinese made but its major internals are Japanese.

I've been looking online the model nr. With no success, but i think it's from the 70's or something. Made in Sweden is all i know and it's a small one,doesn't have a chain stop. Initially i thought i solved the issues with the carb gaskets, but it turned out my fuel lines are compromised ad well. It started, ran perfectly, than suddenly it died. Turned out to be the fuel, more precisely pressure loss in the tank. I looked online for videos about that, but i only got fuel line replacement vids, nothing about this type of pressurised fuel tank and workings of it. It is a lot to ask of you, but it could be a good idea for a video for you, even more so as there are none on youtube. Cheers!
