Little blind ported echo 490 I took on trade.  Doing what I wanted it for light saw for limbing etc. 

Still running the picco 3/8LP 7T on it.  Stihl 63PS chain on poulan bar mount is perfect.  A or K 041 depending on 3/8 325 3/8Lp

Just because 490 was jelly of the 501 4910 mufflers. 🤦‍♂️😂

Little guy is a limber for sure.  Did a maple the other day with it.

Little 490 was able to do all my storm clean up, flawless.  Just glad none of the big trees went down like folks had all around my area. EF1 was down for 7mins south with 105mph winds.

Set my little 490 up so a guy could borrow it to run in the Ohio Sawfest events. He was missing a 0-54cc saw for class. Has to be 325 chain round filed for that class. Others 3/8 and round. Took spike etc off too.

Since I dont do this racing stuff anymore told him he could borrow saw for that class.
It wont place but gives him hotstart hands on wood and 3 cuts practice for his own saws later.

O-ring air filter fix works like a charm

Cant kill this hacked on echo 490. If it starts the air leak I sealed at base gasket area where I used dirko for base gasket. Then I can take to local guy to turn the base for me where local hack fubarred base with grinder.
It's the one I got in year or so back in with air leak issues and guy left crap in cylinder transfers from self porting. Had to clean that all up and seal base up.
