Echo cs590 simple muffler mod 

Yeah it came to life with that mod. Thanks for watching

Whats the porpouse of that mod?

I’m glad to see finally someone cutting through almost the full 20 inches

@@ZH-ls6nb some, at least, of the exhaust can now go directly out of muffler instead of being forced through baffles which doesn't allow the saw to exhaust the exhaust as well. Kinda like asthma for saws. And the hole combined w taking the inside out of the little deflector shield he took off the top of muffler, is the inhaler. Opens up the airways

You can

@brandonhoad9033 yeah it's worth doing. Thanks for watching

I blow it out with compressed air and wash it out with brake cleaner

👍🆙OW

@@oakiewoodsman and lots of shaking

@LeadTheBore yeah it really help the saw breath alot better.

@@oakeymt.outdoors until the pitbike carb and muffler mod, mine was an unreliable POS out of the box. Now? 3rd pull every time after sitting a while and absolutely screams

@oakeymt.outdoors a complete POS out of the box. Would start 1st pull one day, never start the next day. A few mods later it's as reliable as a 90's Camry and pulls like a Corvette. As long as you're willing to pop a few bucks and a couple hours into one they can be absolutely nuts. Pulls a 36" bar perfectly fine

@@LeadTheBore 36" bar in hard wood? Do you think it would be better to just buy a 620 ?

@@oakeymt.outdoors yeah probably, but almost all of the stuff I cut is dead ash or softwood. I wouldn't dream of trying to pull that bar through locust or oak

yes

Yes dill the hole but make sure you flush out the muffler. I was able to lean mine out maybe a half turn. Yours maybe different. I don't know how your carb is set on your.

Yes I did mod the deflector. I just picked a drill bit out that would kinda match where I was drilling. It's worth doing the mod. Just make sure you clean out the muffler good after drill.

@@dennyussery1021 I used a 1/2" when I did mine. Mite be able to go a little bigger but thats the biggest my drill would take

I did only bout a half of a turn

Towards leaner or richer? In other words, does opening up the muffler a bit like you did tends to lean the mix or enrich it? Thanks! @@oakeymt.outdoors

@carlveilleux5744 I learned it out . The muffler mod is definitely worth doing to these 590's

Perfect, thank you. I'm not new to chainsaws but never did any mod to them. I appreciate your time, thanks again.@@oakeymt.outdoors

@@carlveilleux5744 just make sure you flush the muffler to get all the little pieces of metal out of it. Thanks for watching
