Thanks for the review, mine should be here tomorrow. Looks like another bust of a month from Tacpack though. Not even a patch for Christmas. I agree that they seem to be focusing on the "plus" boxes and leaving us regular guys out in the wind.

I just started a few months ago and got the top tier box and I was very disappointed. I got my Battle Box at the same time and I have to admit, Battle Box did much better this month. This was a very weak showing for Tacpack.

I have never had an issue with the standard hole. Once in awhile the hole gets plugged. I am usually taken the bar or chain of at least every day and clean the hole during that time. I can see maybe opening it to the next numbered drill-bit size but any bigger is too much.

I have a decompression valve on the echo 620 that is stuck pushed in and the chainsaw will not start even after unflooding it by taking out the sparn plug and pulling the starter upside down allowing all gas to come out. I just got this chainsaw. Any advice?
@hollerwoodsman5 ай бұрын
I'd say pull it out (14mm, I think) and see if it's junked up or what's going on with it. If the saw is new, it should be under warranty 5 years for "homeowner." I'm not for sure why it's acting up. Unless it's broke off. Keep me posted on what you find.
@SoloBroBro5 ай бұрын
@hollerwoodsman I figured it out. I had taken out the decompression valve and it looked brand new, zero gunk. So, I took out the spark plug unflooded it, again, and this time I did no choke and it started in one pull. Basically even after unflooding it, the choke would immediately flood it for whatever reason so no choke for the win in this case for me.

24/25 27/28 It’s marketing. My “27” inch echo 620 is running a rs chain. Stihls “25” is everybody else’s 24” bar just like Echos “27” is everybody else’s 28” bar. 3/8 chain is highly common. That’s how they control the saws. Just match your 3 numbers. People running 24” + 325 chain had to make them. Dang near impossible to buy. Like oregons new bar naming system names. You can’t find this in a light bar, but this you can have all day and we’ll even throw in a chain! If you try to find the p# in a catalogue or online good luck with that and prepare for a migraine

It appears to me that drilling a hole in front of and behind the original hole in the same diameter and grinding a slot of sorts would work best. Any wider top to bottom than the saw body slot just makes for possible leaks. I've done my bars that way for 40 years and have had good results.
