hi had 2 of these saws just over a year now mine has done about 2 thousand ton . mine has snapped 2 av springs had a new carb under warranty and also new exhaust under warranty as it cracked were it bolts too the head , it still pulls like a train on 18 bar . the bars are very long lasting . and i will get another one when it dies which i dont expect will be soon . its always ran on stihl red with no probs and always starts easy . the other saw has cut maybe a thousand with no probs at all . a brilliant saw and puts the saw it replaced to shame , a fact . i still use my ms 440 which is another fantastic saw , i would recommend the 620sx to any fulltime forestry cutter or anyone else ie tree surgeon

great idea id use it

yes please do send photos thanks -
got my 360tes back from carrs billington today after carb strip and sonic clean then tune up . pleased to say it now runs great no more cutting out even after ticking over for 10 mins today and no more running on after cutting . thanks lads . i will add our 2 620sx saws have been excellent 1 of them has now cut over 1500 tons needing only a pull cord not bad at all

the dealer could not tune the saw to run corectly so it was replaced
-
i have dropped it off at another saw dealer so lets see what thet say . i could live with a slight run on but it wont tick over and even when it does it wont pickup it cuts out when you open the throttle . when dropped at the dealer they said poss air leak which is what the first saw was thought to have at the other dealer .

what oil are other users using
-
tried 4 or 5 local garages jet esso bp etc no change in the way saw runs even with super unleaded . saw seems as if too lean when reving up gasps really bad and screams its bollocks off but wont tickover as it loads up as if too rich . when first started takes ages before it can pull chain around .got me beat . like I said echo saying stihl oil maybe buggered saw . I don't go with that reason
-
been like that from new , never run right the pair of them . shop thought first one had crank air leak . echo seem to be saying its because I did not use semi oil . when I bought it shop said any oil was fine so been using stihl red . run all my other saws on this with no probs .

hi guys im on my second cs360tes and like the first we are having problems ie will not tick over for more than a minute and after cutting saw races on its rubbish to be honest . tried different petrol grades and 2 stroke oils . the first saw had carb sonic cleaned and new diaphragm kit but made no improvement and shop could not solve it so got new saw after 3 weeks . any ideas , am I missing something . echo a saying you must use semi synthetic oil . what are people running theres on and any probs guys .

echo 620 and your woes will be gone:thumbup:

been running two 620 for 8 months now , they have been bombproof and cut no slower than a 560 . they have actually cut more because of no downtime whatsoever . the 560 was a joke . I never go to the saw shop for repairs now thanks to the change to echo . the original bars are now due for replacement . I had 2 husky bars last less than 3 weeks last year . best move I have made less stress for me just put fuel and oil in
-
hi all bit of a disapointment with my 360 tes after 3 weeks it has not sorted its self out as hoped . after cutting a limb it runs on and chain goes round . no amount of tuning with the high and low needles or tickover screw can dial this out , fine if just free reving it but not once used under load . anyone had probs with their 360 like this . its had to go to the shop they are going to sonic clean the carb . shame as our two cs620sx saws are going well .
-
i do forestry and all the 560 owners i know do aswell a lot of cutting cramed into a little time , i reckon once the saws with light use catch up you will see probs . this saw is put out for pro use not casual users but for pro use its not reliable at all , thats all im saying guys .
-
not drivel mate fact i have had 3 560s all kept going to be fixed , two mates of mine this month . plug blown out of head then clutch again on one , the other saw this week crank bearings gone and piston so new engine . thats what 560s do its fact not drivel . unless you only want to do little work they are not reliable enough
-
get the husky if you want to spend time waiting for it to be repaired a lot
-
google or youtube the 590 timberwolf which has same exhaust and watch muffler mod , i only did the second part but it has made a good gain once h jet tune in properly . take you 1 hour to do no more
-
just started using our second 620 today . pulled capps off and quarter turn richer on bottom end and its instantly better . do exhaust mod and they really start to fly , these are good saws full stop

2 year wauranty if saw is registered when new and you use husky 2 stroke xp oil . hot start mod should sort it -
hi did mod on exhaust on the 620 and tried it today , revving up faster now and got more beans . only did second mod on the top part of exhaust not the full mod . see it on youtube under echo 590 timberwolf muffler mod .

going to get a set of tuning tools for carb: my saw has the double d type needles . easy fix
-
did a little dismantle yesterday with my new cs 360tes tickover a bit up and down at first but seems to be sorting itself out gradually after couple of tanks . on 14 inch bar will update in a few weeks
-
