    Yeah I got that thanks, it is a chain that is fitted correctly, I've got the next problem, I've found the right sprocket via your link.. How ever looking at the saw thes a toothed collar which the sprocket fits into 7 tooth geared thing, echo list another one but I've had to email a dealer as it seems the are two collars, both with the last three numbers different, if this cog is 6 toothed and the others 7 then finally I can get the sprocket changed and put a thinner bar on! Thanks so far

    So first image is the set up, currently, and it's painfully slow, even though it's on a 13" bar Second image is a carlton and on 050" 1.3mm. It's great it fits the mount but, big but the chain doesn't sit correctly on the sprocket... Like two teeth trying to fit into one v on the sprocket! So I'm a bit stumped, if you change the chain then it won't fit the sprocket on the tip of the bar! Doesn't help oregon hovering up all the other brands that used to make sprockets. Kind of regretting buying two of the echo Cs 370 there like the old farmboss 029 and 039...your waiting on the saw to catch up! 😂

    I brought a pair of them, thought they'd be either good thinning saws or basic logging saws. Both came in on the same set-up... I did try a 7 tooth 050 sprocket from China but sprocket wasn't deep enough so it almost caused clutch to burn the side casing!. Been to a few dealers and even on the echo site, shows a different sprocket but no listing for it! It's strange, some of the chainsaw bar chain retailers have not got any further, yet an 050 bar and chain fits it but not the sprocket 😔 Thanks

    Hi all, I'm having issues with a Cs 370 es, it's a slow cutter, I would either like to speed up the chain on the current set up and keep the 058 bar and chain or swap to 1.3 050 low profile bar, chain and sprocket. Both of which need a change of sprocket... What I'm looking for is someone with old school knowledge to be able to x things over. The saw is semi pro, kept on aspen only, on factory standard set up. It struggled to do a plunge cut on a 12" ash log on a razor sharp chain. Looking for help as I can't x reference the parts, echo doesn't shows two types of sprocket but only lists one that's 325 x 058 think 7 tooth factory standard. I'm hoping so one might be able to put me right or say I've got one in a shed kind of thing. Thanks in advance

    Get a wragg, decent built

    It was new ish but out of warranty, like I said he'd not take stuff out of service to get things fixed and often would lie.. Yet would happily go around in a new car (evo) I'd do the same again if needed. I do climb (and still do) hence the whole question about overhauling or scrapping. I was able to carry on doing the dismantle up the tree with a 42 13" bar.. As far as I'm aware employed people don't provide there own saws.. By chance took one of my saws that day. Hope this has cleared things up smart arse. The owner of the company was a hunt.... I mean would you send your teams out with domestic saws, day in day out?

    I have three or four, but if your employed why should I be using my tools on an employed job? I ended up taking my h42 and finishing the job... That way after chucking the saw on the pad. The best bit is I knew what he was charging, but he'd never invest in new equipment. I see things in black and white... Nice and clear cut

    It was sent out for dismantling/section felling mature trees and doing mega awkward work around lv, hv work.. And crane jobs. It would run, cut out, fling chain around, die, not start or die halfway through cuts, it'd stall. I'd had enough with being lied to and shaved costs whilst the boss ran an expensive evo....

    And what would you rather, the was nothing around in the darkest depths of Dorset bar a conifer and a concrete slab below it... Would you rather I knocked on your partners door and said sorry Gary had a fatal accident due to a faulty saw up a tree today or lob it onto concrete and it's broken beyond repair...? Just because my boss didn't, wouldn't or lied to me about the state of that saw.... By the nature of the work its dangerous let alone bosses running faulty equipment to shave or save money. Call it pre maddona, call it what you will but it got the result.... No one could use, repair or do anything with that saw it was out of service pernermently. End of

    I was told it was fixed, simple. No one else could ever use it. Non of the people I've had in gangs or worked around have had an incident. I'm 39 first placement was 13, first used a chainsaw at ten. I've done very discipline of arb work, I've never employed stoners or coke head s which I know is rife in this industry. You don't know me, so don't judge it or the environment or the site I was on. And if you have nothing to say useful don't say it.
  11. Tree monkey 1682
    Have you ever worked for me? That incident was after a boss wouldn't fix a saw after I took it out of service, due to it causing a near miss with a different climber and team. I didn't have an option or would you rather the would have been a fatality and yet again this industry gets a heavy investigation by the hse again?

    Ex boss had three 338xpt... Non of them ran right... Sad as they were a nice saw, always were able to pull them through thick trees and were a quick cutter.... But they weren't "right" Prior to that they ran the old echo 25cc that was painfully slow as they wouldn't pay the extra for the ms200t.

    Don't run silky either, better off with ars, or Windsor.
  14. Tree monkey 1682
    I am picky and fussy when it comes to equipment, I also won't tolerate faulty equipment - I was once known to throw a new ish top handle out of a tree onto concrete as it was dangerous, irratic running. I have brought an echo 362tes for the time being.

    I'd literally not run a hyundai, it's not going to be an efco/emak, Hitachi (hikoki) brought out tanaka and said their pulling out of Europe, tanka made alot for dolmar / makita along with fuji / Robin. So the old huski 338xpt wasn't a great saw... Numerous faults. I had loads of stihl units at one point, but hey ho.
  16. Tree monkey 1682
    It's not a hyundai I'd never run that shit
  17. Tree monkey 1682
    Nope, hedge cutters, blowers and strimmers yes, chainsaws nope
  18. Tree monkey 1682
    Tell me what? Yup still can get spares either through jonsered or tanaka
  19. Tree monkey 1682
    An agri cultural store in the darkest depths of Dorset, and its an in-house warranty.. Actually was a nice saw, didn't bog down. ( shock horror I brought a tanaka) 🙄🤦‍♂️ But going on how many faults I've had with stihl stuff, and how huski was dire, and echos being slow... I thought why not came with a 16" bar on 😳
  20. Tree monkey 1682
    It was new old stock in a local dealership, it wasn't used, wasn't pdi'd and still under warranty. Set up by jred to run rich now won't idle so its gone back to them. Think it cost me 267 and was a back up unit.... It's a red and black tanaka 35cc
  21. Tree monkey 1682
    To be fair I didn't have volume on, but that's a good call, did make me laugh him tweeking the saw and cutting through poplar, not a decent wood

    Didn't you tweek an efco 4100 and then put the video on it up north?
  24. Tree monkey 1682
    Thank you doobin, remember my ex boss just saying you'll never get it right ☹️
  25. Tree monkey 1682
    Thanks spud, think local dealer has said 5-6 hrs for the 020t... Inc pressure tests... But still have that seed of doubt when it comes to reliability. The stihl ms201t had a new carb. But is a pain.. Thanks for the input spud, the has just been loads of dealers, that were messers, current dealer is good. Just don't like flogging a dead donkey when all it will be is a dead donkey!. How did you get on with that efco 4100?
