Perfect I think I’ll go for that then will be a while before it’s ported I think especially with all this virus stuff glad you told me about that though will definitely make a difference on the bigger stuff! I’ve noticed that there are two 2511s ECHO CS-2511TES and ECHO CS-2511TES-C guessing the C is some sort of electronic start or something? 

 

501 sounds good that’s what I’ll probably go for I think the electronics now a days are the reason most saws screw up 

  i believe the TES-C version comes with the tiny cutting gear ie; 0.43 chain and bar where as the TES comes with the chunkier chain and bar which in my experience is not as nice to use and is more lightly to cause the saw to bog down in the cut.

ps. the 501SX is a real nice saw but performance is a little lacking in my experience.

The Echo CS 2511TES C comes with a carvers bar and chain but identical in all other respects

Pull the gauze out of the exhaust? It made a difference to mine.. two bolts and it's off, Never to impede the escape of fumes again!

After reading this I thought I'd give it a go on my 501.

Gauze is off.

Is this bit necessary, or can it be removed too?

I just removed the gauze, think it may be a bit louder with that bit out. Heat may build up towards the engine side of the exhaust too (not sure of this but didn't take the chance)

ya i removed the spark arresting gauze and trimmed up some of the gaskets that were a bit oversized to aid gas flow.  I too considered removing that T piece but i left it in situ.  I will have mine tacho'd at the dealer and see how it performs then.  Great wee saw just a bit 'flat' compared to the other offerings on the market.
