Yeah well the max rpm for my echo cs-600 is 12,500 but it cuts and handles lovely. Best balanced saw in the world. Not the slimmest, but the ergonomics wow. Funny how the USA who are a thousand years ahead of us UK thicko's use a certain other brand for their hotsaws more than any other; a brand derided here :001_rolleyes:

i made a mistake the speeds of the two dolmars in the 50cc - 60cc class are 13,800 rpm

not 13,500 as i thought what is the rpm for the 560 before and after the rev boost

 

 

Between 13.5k - 14.2k rpm depending on the coil number

Mine finishes 70-01, it's programmed for 14.2k

Revboost is constant (crank stuffers)

That's because, like husky, they're choked and leave a lot to play with.

Stock it's running the same as a pre-xt 365 husky! But that speed isn't really pro speed any more, maybe the early 80's..

Minor disadvantages? I'd say maintenance is a major disadvantage! Personally I feel no difference in the handling.

But I would still choose the husky over the dolmar. I don't give a rats ass about the dolmar having more torque, nobody here cuts on the max torque band and the husky is faster! Yes, the standard set-up for the husky is crap, but that's easily remedied with a £20 part. It's also the most restricted 60cc saw on the market... But port it and it'll kill anything else! The dolmar may be £140 cheaper but it's more basic! And I'd rather spend the extra £140 on a machine that's always optimally tuned, can compensate for crap mix or an air leak! You've gotta ask yourself, innovator or borrower.

 

Are you talking about the 560 here? If so whats this £20 Part?

I got a Stihl MS261c last year...bloody awful saw. Its great when it actually gets going...but its a pig to start, whatever we do with it. I got so fed up with it, I gave it to my mate and went out and bought a Husky 550XP...even worse!. I'm going to try a premix fuel, and if thats no good, it'll be the end of Stihl/Husky general worksaws for me - after using them for 20 years! :(...thinking of getting an Echo....as long as it doesn't have an electronic carb, I'll be happy!
