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?
@hollerwoodsman
@hollerwoodsman 5 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.
@SoloBroBro
@SoloBroBro 5 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

Sorry about that, I get kinda excited when the camera is going. I used a 7/ 32-bit straight down. That size might work for you but might not. Just make sure that you don't take out too much and get into the rail. It's easier to drill more than to put back.

I stole a few of em from my supply cage and wouldn't mind sending you one to keep on hand when you're outdoors.

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.
