Reading on the CS-8000 today because of this thread. I could |
|
never find any information on the max rpm out of the wood. |
|
Anyone know? |

I really wasn't impressed my Echo 8000 at all, the throttle |
|
feels disconnected, the saw doesn't like to rev and I didn't |
|
find much difference at all after I ported it. |

:o :o :o :o I just got done flogging the JD 800. Holy chit man. |
|
This thing had throttle response like my woods ported 7901 had. |
|
As far as I know this one is muffler modded and with a tighter |
|
squish. This thing was hauling balls at 14K. I would swear it |
|
was woods ported but it was traded in as a stock saw. |
|
It flat out ate my Poulan 505 82cc up in the cuts and was |
|
excepting it to eat the MS660 with muffler mod. I will give the |
|
660 the edge, but someday I will time then in cuts in small wood |
|
and all wearing the 8T's again. |
|
The idle sound and muffler mod sound in the cut on the echo |
|
8000 was the best sounding today too. |

|
compression Kev? |

All I did was gas it up and run it today. Suppose to be stock |
|
porting with tightened up squish. never been inside to know |
|
what a echo 8000 looks like. |
|
All I know if this is stock porting with just squish tightened |
|
up. I :-X LIKE! ;D |

Sorry no pics, I had the saw tore down for nearly a year before |
|
I finished the porting and put it back together. That probably |
|
worked against me too. I might get another one and try it or |
|
play with this one a little more and try again before I ship it |
|
off, I would feel better sending it away if it ran a little |
|
better. I did a pretty conservative port job, just widened |
|
slightly and put the transfers down into the case. Anyways I |
|
compared the stock video (youtube echo 8000 it is the only echo |
|
video on youtube under canadiancarguy) to the ported video |
|
(photobucket echo 8000 also the only echo I have on video under |
|
canadiancarguy) and I guess there is a difference, but not what |
|
I had expected. Still could be lots left with some toying |
|
around... |

|
Looking at the IPL it appears to be closed port with windowed |
|
piston. Is this correct? |
|
I'm guessing closed port do to the windowed looking piston. |

Finally found a pic of the early 8000 hand guard that would be |
|
on the JD 800. The later ones appear to have had the chain |
|
brakes in IPL. |
|
Think I might just try to retro fit a poulan hand guard or |
|
nothing at all. |

Now I'm here to tell you that a rescue saw d-handle is the way |
|
to fly .It's the best 5 bucks I've ever spent . I have them on a |
|
2100 Huskey,084 Stihl and a souped up 038 Mag . It's lot better |
|
than trying to recoupe your fingers after some bull headed saw |
|
tries to pull them off . |
