Ported Echo CS800P first cuts! cs 800 

Now she's a fast Tractor. Good job

For a mild port job, she runs real good. These saws kinda are what they are. Tremendously durable and reliable saws. A bit on the big side for their displacement and power they put out stock. They have a reputation for modding well, and yours is no exception. The manual oiler you referenced is why these saws made such good milling saws too. Not screaming saws but good torque as they come. A bit old school, but they were basically unchanged since like 1985 when the 8000 came out. I might be off on the model designation, and year, but that's the era.

Runs well and cuts well.

Runs fantastic man! Good job! I'm so excited to see all the saws challenging each other. That's gonna be one badass totally freaking epic showdown!

Nice job that's a good running old saw.

Seems to cut pretty well. Good job

Looks like after a good 5-6 stroke’s on your cutter tooth will get your rakes up higher and you’ll be taking a finer bite and not pulling her down out of her power zone as much .020/.025 raker height.,, and when she’ll get some more time and your rings are tight she’s gonna get a little stronger too!

I’m past ready for that saw, but I’m looking forward to you running with your other saws, too. My larger sections can wait awhile lol

Good job. Those things are tanks too.

Ported they can be brutes my first grey pulls like a train an hangs with modern saws makes over 8hp on the dyno solid saws just heavy

I can't wait till you test that shindaiwa 757! You bringing it back from the brink of destruction and being a parts saw will be awsome in its self!

I enjoy running one of these ported 81 cc brutes, much more over my stihl 660 mag. That garbage 660 had a stingy oiler and no torque. No, the cs 8000/800p is not as heavy as a 660. Also replaced a garbage, rattle trap 881 mag with a ported cs 1201. MUCH better oiler, so smooth and torque for days. Doesn't need to hide behind show-boy plastics like the stihl-born junk, because there is no plastic.......

Holy smokes! That thing rips💪🏼only thing cs-800 about it now is the way it looks👍🏻 I almost always pull out on the recoil handle at shutdown. Except on my stihls and others that have the pawls in the recoil assembly. Kinda counter productive there. Occasionally I'll forget and pull them too😬😅 Looking forward to THE BIG SHOW!!

Nice

Proper!

Sweet saw! Does that saw have magnesium clutch cover?

Wish they still made the cs 800 I was stuck between 394 and this end up with 394 she a hotrod but I still want a cs 800

👍👍

i don't know if i caught it; did you base gasket delete and did you cut any off the jug? thanks

I hope to make my cs7600 run that good

Never really was impressed with the CS800/8000 even after porting. Don’t get me wrong they run pretty good, just not quite as good as other saws in it’s class. You did well with that one though, can’t deny that.

Looks like the last cookie cut was the fastest.
