ECHO CS-440
By: old hoosier Date: June 2, 2018, 6:08 pm

Hello All,
I recently acquired a exceptionally clean CS440,and I'm
impressed with it's performance. having sold my MS290 and MS180
a while back,then purchasing a new MS261,I now wonder if I'd
made that purchase had this (free) ECHO happened along
earlier......Anyway,it appears to be old-possibly mid-late
90's(?),but hardly used. I read the excellent,extensive ECHO
history article by Cut4Fun,and now would like to know more about
this specific model..... The OEM Oregon chain cuts well,but
stretches with each use.....so I'll replace it with something
better.

I know some guys that know echo info. I dont but here is a
little I found on quick search.
Seems to be 2 different 440's early and later grey and then
orange. Horizontal and vertical cylinders. Being you used CS
I am guessing you have the later one.

If you want to increase cutting speed by quite a bit put a 3/8
lp 6 tooth ( 7 tooth cuts real close the .325 7 tooth) sprocket
and bar and chain off a CS400. You will have to machine the
gear end of the sprocket just a little to make it fit. Steve

Mine is a gray case model(early or late version,I don't
know....). I was hoping to be able to install a Stihl chain,as
they've always given me good service in regards to minimal
stretching....
