       Nut/Bolt Torque
       By: Giles Date: September 5, 2016, 2:54 pm

       There is only one item on a chainsaw that I consider needing to
       be torqued.
       That is the flywheel nut.
       Can anyone tell me what torque is needed for the flywheel nut
       on a red Echo CS330t?

       I just snug them down.  Never checked any with a torque wrench.

       Yeah that the way I have done it for over 50 years. Never had
       one come loose ---but why take the chance when I have a 3/8
       calibrated Armstrong wrench.
       I have also replace a lot of crankshafts that were twisted off
       from over tightening and replaced a few coils and other items
       when they came loose!
