Echo CS360TES bar chain and parts advice

Recommended Posts

So I got my hands on a echo 360tes for £50 !

Nothing wrong with it apart from a training company had no use for it due to changing fuels to Aspen. Right place right time :)

 

Obviously it has seen use. I own a 201t as my main saw but want to use the echo for sub contracting and save my 201t for my own jobs and bigger trees.

 

I would like to change the bar and chain to more well known products for ease of replacement but finding replacements to start with seems very hard, help!!

 

I am also thinking of changing filters and running gear as I would like it to run well and hopefully last a year or two without problems. What would you guys change/ replace?

Also where can I get parts from ?!!! Any internet sites I find are American or strange looking.

 

Little recap:

What aftermarket bar and chain ? 12"

What parts would you service/ change/ replace ?

Where do I get parts from?

 

 

Thanks guys !!

James

I'd give forest and arb a call for any replacement parts. If you have a Google you should be able to find a pdf parts catalogue with diagrams etc to download. I personally wouldn't change any parts unless they actually need replacing however a good strip down and clean out with an air line wouldn't go a miss. With regards to bar and chain get yourself on chainsaw bars/sugihara bars. Mine is running on a 12" sugi pro light multimount bar with 3/8 .43 chain and due to its narrow kerf it flies! Lastly...I expect this to be your saw of choice once you have given it a try. Mine tops the stihl 201 hands down in my opinion

I have a 360tes and I run it on aspen what was there issue ?

 

 

It has been run on 2 stroke for a long time, so if they change to Aspen it will seize the engine.

 

You can run a saw on Aspen and then change to two stroke

But you cannot go from 2 stroke to Aspen

 

 

When the Aspen is used on a saw that has only run 2 stroke then the Aspen can easily dislodge the carbon build up in the engine causing the seizure.

Who told you this ? I used my old Dynamac on cheap oil and unleaded for many years and it's run quite nicely on Aspen even though the manufacturer recommended 25:1 mix originally. I used to run it 40:1 anyway because it smoked like an ex miner on 25:1. The carbon doesn't fly off in big lumps it's only a thin coating and it goes out the exhaust as it burns up.
