Just saving info. Per Echo Nut Bob Wright.

Copy pasted no corrections.

Here is some Echo history that i have dates and papers of. My dad was a dealer from 1970 to 1984

Kyoritsu Noki Company Limited Echo's 1963-1971
Kyoritsu CS-80 1963 First Echo model
Kyoritsu CS-60 1965 Second Echo model
Kyoritsu CS-100 1965
I don't belive any came to the US in these years '63-'65 at least by the company.

March 1969 Echo comes To America. Kyoritsu Noki SN Tags
CS-60S, CS-801 or CS-802, CS-100
1970 CS-301, CS-60S, CS-601, CS-801 or CS802, CS-100

1971 Kioritz SN Tags Echo's
1971-1974 CS-302, CS-60S, CS-451, CS-601, CS-701, CS802, CS-100
1975 CS-302, CS-60S, CS-452, CS-601, CS-701, CS-802, CS-100
1976 CS-302, CS-60S, CS-452, CS-602, CS-702, CS-802, CS1001VL ('76-'80)
1977 CS-302, CS-60S, CS-315, CS-351, CS-452, CS-602, CS-702, CS-802, CS1001VL
1978 Cut Off Saws CS-60S 12" CS-701 14"
1979 CS-302S, CS-60S, CS-315, CS-351, CS-452, CS-602, CS-702, CS-750, CS1001VL
1981 CS-302S, CS-60S, CS-280, CS-290, CS-300, CS-500, CS-600, CS-650, CS-702, CS-750, CS-900
1985 CS-60S, CS-280, CS-290, CS-300, CS-500, CS-610, CS-650, CS-750, CS-900
1986 CS-60S, CS-280, CS-290, CS-300, CS-500, CS-550, CS-610, CS-650, CS-8000, CS-900

Now there could be some overlap of models that dealers had on the shelves and the exact dates of some newer models i don't know for sure in the mid 80's so i just lumped some together.

The one saw that was made the longest was the CS-60S from 1965-2007 that i can find the last ones of. They weren't sold in the US after '83 but still sold overseas, thats 42 years of the same model.

Now there are some models sold in other countries that are in between the models here in the US Like the CS-803 in Japan is the CS-750 in the US

On John Deere echo Chainsaws.

Maybe, There was a JD dealer right up the road from my dads shop and i think they started selling yellow Echos in '79 or so and prob went to the mid 80's...Bob

Sears also had the 302 and the 701 in Sears yellow. The mod # started with 271

Mobilco in Australia had some rebagded Echos and i have seen the 702

Barker had a rebadged 602

Very cool post. Thanks Cut, I really like learning history of these companies. I'd like to gather as much info as I can and do a "mostly" inclusive thread on who's who in the chainsaw world right now. So many have combined that I'm not sure just how many companies stand alone now. Is Echo part of the Husky/Poulan conglomerate?

Thought this was interesting = The majority of ECHO products are built in the United States from foreign and domestic parts and components.
From info maybe 1985 and up WAG?

About Us http://www.echo-usa.com/About-ECHO/About-Us

For more than 40 years, ECHO Incorporated has been a worldwide leader in the development and manufacture of professional-grade, hand-held outdoor power equipment for both the commercial and homeowner markets. Today the company sells its products in North America through ten distributors managing 6,600 independent dealers. An additional 24 Latin American distributors sell ECHO products through a variety of channels. ECHO products can be found in Home Depot stores in the U.S., Canada, Mexico and Puerto Rico. The company prides itself on setting the industry standard with its dedication to new technology, quality products and its strong distribution infrastructure. From establishing technological advancements in premium tools for landscaping and arborist professionals, to expanding its capabilities to meet industrial and consumer demand, ECHO has a heritage rich of accomplishment.

The Early Years
ECHO Incorporated was founded in Northbrook, IL, in 1972 as Kioritz Corporation of America. It was officially established under its present name in 1978. The company originally was an importer of high-performance 2-cycle engines and hand-held products manufactured by Kioritz Corporation of Japan. In 1979, ECHO shifted its focus to engineering and manufacturing and began initial production and assembly operations in Wheeling, IL. The first lawn care product it produced for the US market was the curved shaft GT-200 grass trimmer. Soon after, ECHO broadened its product offerings to include chain saws, straight shaft grass trimmers, brushcutters, backpack and hand-held blowers, and hedge trimmers.

Continued Growth
In 1984 ECHO Power Equipment Canada was created as a subsidiary and in 1985, ECHO Incorporated established its present-day Americas corporate headquarters in Lake Zurich, IL, a Chicago suburb. Also in 1985, the company completed construction of its first 100,000 square foot manufacturing facility. Since then, the company has steadily expanded in size, adding additional buildings in 1988, 1995 and 2000. With the completion of a new warehouse in 2010, the company’s campus now includes more than 540,000 square feet of office, manufacturing and warehouse facilities. The majority of ECHO products are built in the United States from foreign and domestic parts and components.

In 1994, ECHO began its relationship with Home Depot as a provider of professional-quality hand-held outdoor power equipment for the consumer homeowner market. Although it had sold premium equipment to the consumer market for years through its extensive dealer network, this value-added partnership helped to broaden ECHO’s market presence.

Leadership
Throughout its tenure, ECHO has worked hard to maintain a strong foothold in the industry, both with technological advancement and solid business operations. No stranger to product innovation, ECHO engineers have pioneered many ground-breaking products as a result of aggressive market research, engineering proficiency and recognition of customer needs. Within recent years, ECHO successfully evolved 2-stroke engine technology to meet the growing demands of the commercial market, while pioneering new efforts to meet both EPA emissions regulations and CARB standards. Today ECHO’s engine technology represents the very best in industry leadership - balancing high-quality performance with environmental demands in a 2-stroke engine.

ECHO is the largest subsidiary of the Yamabiko Corporation of Japan.

The Echo distributor for this area is Central Power Systems on the near West side of Columbus, Ohio. Orders entered before 11AM go out UPS that day and are delivered the next day. Central Power also does Dolmar, Oregon, Carlton, NGK, and B&S.

Always wondered if echo and shindaiwa had any form of partnership early on, a lot of the saws share many similarity's

Some very cool info @chy_farm linked in the echo 651 twin thread. https://translate.google.com/translate?hl=en&sl=de&tl=en&u=http%3A%2F%2Fwiki.motorsaegen-portal.de%2Fwiki%2FEcho-Kioritz_Motors%25C3%25A4gen

Echo Kioritz Shindaiwa Yamabiko

offered as the Japanese Kioritz Group chainsaws in the US, they created there the Echo brand.

1971 Name change: Kyoritsu Noki Company Ltd. to KIORITZ CORPORATION

Since 2009, Echo and Shindaiwa cooperate branded Yamabiko.

Warning:

also echo has awarded nearly identical model names with very different saws.

That will always interesting with wear and tear parts, as well as setting data.

Example: CS 400, there are even in 3 variants?

Type Code:

CS = chainsaw, the first two digits describe about the displacement - more than 100cc the first three.

Saws with 3 or 4-digit model numbers were at times very similar in structure, with the same first three digits in different sales areas at the start.

When ordering spare parts shortages because sometimes something goes, even at different E numbers.

This is not supported by all regional offices. But we know this also from other manufacturers.

With four-digit model number and deviating 3rd or 4th digit only little things have been modified?

T either twin or top handle.

C is 2014 carving in the model name.

Echo was older models no engine power!

Later, the performance have measured on the chain.

Power supply specifications? submitted by one side, the otherwise showed significantly different from other sites data.

Result: saws from other manufacturers, the measure without cutting attachment, see the paper better.

The data and rounding errors may occur because of metric data in US-like data (inch, inch, etc) and was converted inversely.

The 3600 and 3900 are the same in many components. This also applies to the successors CS 3700 and CS 4200th

The older saws have in the BDA no information about the idle and maximum speed:
Default: L + H => 1 to 1 1/4
If the carburetor is then set correctly, you can hear a slight four clocks at the idle maximum speed.

From my own screwdriver practice: Some CS 3900 will not run properly with interference-suppressed spark plugs. Particularly striking were with special fuel. Unsuppressed candle ran faultlessly in the saw.

The CS 500 ES 2012 got a little more displacement due to the new emission standard than the "normal" CS 500th

The CS 490 was offered in 2015 to the US market for the semi-professional.

The CS 500P is available in the US since, 2015. The data for the speeds are from the Manual.

2015 brought echo with the CS 501 SX a saw with very good power to weight ratio in the "50cc class" that complies with the emission stage ST2. Shortly was the Echo CS 501 SX also available as Shindaiwa 501 SX in D.

The 590 Timberwolf should be a semi-professional version of this series. But According to the US side, the same engine power as the CS 600 is about 1/5 cheaper.

The CS 620P is also available as CS 620PW with wrap handle. The CS 620 has 13% more power than the CS 600th

These models are available already relatively long. At times, even simultaneously in different sales regions. Again and again these very similar saws have been enhanced in detail.

Two color versions of the CS 670 and CS 6700 are known. Once the orange-red, and then in the 90's a gray variant. Also a rescue variant was offered in the US. The capacity varies on the decimal place?

Carburetor adjustment for carburettor Walbro HDA 153B without Limiter:
CS 8001: L: 2 3/8 -> H: 3 3/8 Limiter to allow an adjustment from 2200 to 2800 1 / min and H 11500-12500 1 / min at L.

Yes, I am sometimes mixed up with those model numbers which I can not find on the lists local shop has here.
On the contrary here I have CS-803EVL which number is just well known here at any Echo shop but did not see her on Mike's site neither in other lists on the net. Actually she may sits between the lines below, below CS 750 EVL but above CS 900 EVL.
