Do any of the Echo 6700 or echo 670 parts cross over to be used on the 8000? Just wondering on a parts saw.
-
I have a 6700 to if you are interested?
-
No Thank You. Was just wondering if any parts were shared between 6700 and 8000.
-
I dont think there is that i know of
-
I tried to list the major components and really not much is used between the two models.
6700's basically share parts with the 5500 except for the crank. Early models had the two piece ignition.
670 to 8000 parts interchange;
handlebar - yes
handlebar support - no
clutch cover - no
recoil cover - no
top cover - no
carb - no, choke positions are different.
cylinder - no
muffler - no
intake - no
auto oiler - yes
thumb oiler - yes
on/off switch - yes
air box - no
crankcase castings - no
bearings - no
clutch - sometimes, depends on when manufactured.
crank - no
piston and cylinder - no, 6700/670 is 50 x 34mm and 8000 is 52 x 38mm.
rear handle / gas tank - no, 8000 larger.
igntion - sometimes, depends on when manufactured.
brake levers - no
brake mechanisms - some compatibility depending on when manufactured.
Hope this helps.

Great info and Thanks for the leg work.
Hey that crank stroke on the 8000 is like paying $525 to stroke the 372 cranks 2mm from 36mm to 38mm and then using the 52mm cylinders to get a 5ci saw.
OK who's going to build the Echo 8000 stock appearing saws?
