Echo 400
By: Chainsawrepair Date: October 12, 2015, 7:25 pm
---------------------------------------------------------
Trying to help a family friend with a new saw purchase to go
with his bigger echo. He wants lighter and 40cc or under.
Any one know if a echo 400 will cut with the echo 3900 (have
you ran both saws to know) ? Does the 400 weigh about the same
etc?

Never ran a 3900, a CS400 cuts as good or better than the big
name 50cc home owner saws and weighs 13# ready to cut vs 15# to
17-1/2# for a 50cc saw. You will need to tune and muff mod to
get the power out of them. Start great, run great and handle
great. Steve

I did timed cuts against a real good running 56 cc MS290 , the
CS400 lost by 1 second 17 seconds for the CS400 16 seconds for
the MS290. Steve

I have a MM CS-400 that runs good but it wouldn't cut with my
MS290. But, I'd take a 400 any day over that cinder block. I
flipped it and bought another saw. The CS-400 is tough to beat
for a small saw.
I'm going to time it this weekend against my MS250 and PS-421.

Oiler runs all the time, I never leave it idle as it starts so
good. Steve

New echo 400 to check the tune on and sharpen the chain. Guy
said perfect trim saw for his needs and runs perfect to him.
Maybe a muffler mod will help these? Dont want to touch though
while he has warranty.

Anyone know off hand the max rpm on the echo 400?
Do like the air filter set up they went with.
Going to cut even better with a new loop of full chisel picco
3/8LP.
