Besides the p+c differences and limited coil.  Look at the slits the 490 suppose to breath out of. SMH.

4910 501 still bad too with one more slit added.

Plus that inner tube that needs tossed out.

Open the front of deflector like a normal one like on the huskys.

Finally got rid of the cheap plastic feeling vibrating handle. Went ahead and put the rubber coated rear piece too.

That echo 490 used.

Put new 501 set on.

On 490 all fasteners needed to be cut shorter.

Plastic fasteners longer due to plastic.

Guy I traded 4910 to said 4910 fastener same length as 501 used for handle.

So didn’t need shorten like 490 did.

So impressed with the new member of my tag team. That echo 2511 rear handle with nano 325 043 nk set up throws some dang chips as a limber.
Used for 12" under there was no stopping it on the multiple truck maple 5.

Used the hack ported 490 with front and rear 501 handles. No vibrations felt like the plastic crap did.
Running the stock 18" with 23RS the new stuff.

Wanted to check the hack ported echo 490 out.
Being it’s the one that went flying over a month ago.

Even with the spring assist start it has. I can’t drop start it with right hand like 2511.
So on the ground and straddling to start left handed.

Did the same for stock 359 I got on trade. To check out.

After what I think was echo bar tip might have said bye bye on 490.

Looking like I will be close to 46”-48” across where I am going to stump this pita tree.

Retuned for next try. Noticed it had picked up rpm's before last test session with switch. The 490 500 dont like higher rpm's the way 501 4910 can compared to those.


Just trying the $30 set up for fun on my 490.
Might try on one of my higher revving 501’s later.
I ended up fattening it up a 1/4 turn on H side to bring it down some.
10.75 Down, 11 across. Was 1/4"+ down cut shorter then test day before.

But did get both on video.
