Echo 2511 Performance Build and some Updates

[@richevy5224]

Echo ran well. Making big chips! Nice job Rich.

[@Mike_Mike_0]

Nice video Rich ❤❤❤ These little ones ported are awesome 👍👍👍💪💪💪

[@richardsneddon2976]

On the pondwater bud , I use echo power blend gold and that's also that colour, well it is in the uk anyway. For some unknown reason in the uk we can't seem to get red armour . On the 2511 gr8 little saw , they run excellent with a panther conversion kit bar and chain

[@tedneitzel]

Good to see ya! Nice running little echo!

[@kbittorf335]

You never disappoint! I broke down and $$ purchased an Egan pipe for my 2511. Wholly smokes does that thing perform! I had modded the muffler and this thing isn‘t any louder it seems. I am guessing it should run cooler as that muffler takes up a lot of space on the side of the cylinder. Base gasket delete and Stihl 1/4 pitch bar and chain. I grab this little bugger all the time for small stuff. Next will be that felling spike for it.👍

[@boomupengineering]

I don't mind my Egan pipe unless the exhaust is pointed at my ear...then it hurts if I don't have hearing protection on. I will be running the 0.325LP Oregon Nano chain soon. That should be better than my 3/8LP. I do have a Westcoast dog for it but I would say it's a bit extreme and wastes a bit of bar length.

[@kbittorf335]

@@boomupengineering I did notice last time I looked they were offering that Nano chain. The cost sure has gone up, I am glad I bought mine for less than $400. I think Dyno Joe makes a spike for them too. I will research, thanks for the info!

[@boomupengineering]

@@kbittorf335 RedBeard has a bumper on his website too. I think it was out of stock at the time I got mine from West Coast Saw. I bought my 2511t last year for about $450 with bar and chain. Looks like the price went up again to over $500.

@@boomupengineering Echo also makes the 2511P rear handle version of this saw which comes from the factory with a bump/dog spike.

[@saltrock9642]

I don’t need a top handle saw but I sure want one. “Wants” are just as important than “Needs”.

So far January's sure been making up for our mild December. Good to hear all is well otherwise👍🏻

[@quebird3108]

I love to see what you do to those 2511's. Mine was new in late May. I really like it, but just a bit more power would be nice.

[@kbittorf335]

If you can tune a carburetor an Egan performance pipe for around $60US will wake it up.

[@SomeGuysSawShop]

Those 2511s are decent little saws

[@mattfleming86]

do you also get rid of the little "filler" piece on the transfers on the 2511? Or do you reinstall it before assembly?

[@jimssawsnstuff8903]

Nice job! Maybe I was over complicating it 😜👍

[@peteschiavoni]

That 2511 sounds amazing. What caused the 462 to seize?

[@Reefer600]

FWIW if you don’t like the chain chatter, then you could buy the 2511 TN model which uses the new Oregon 80TXL chain which is .325.043 low pro! It’s smooth as silk and designed for saws under 1.75 hp. There is no kit to change the saw to a 80txl you need to buy the TN model from Echo.

[@richardflagg3084]

I'll give it a try. Thanks for the info!

[@nateolmsted899]

Love it

[@medjoolmaker]

great video 😁

[@iffykidmn8170]

IMHO dry weight of the saw eliminates the need to consider if one saws fuel tank is 8oz and the other is 7oz and whether it has a 10" b&c and the other has a 14" b&c. Echo 2511P rear handle comes with factory dog so I assume dogs maybe available through Echo and also fit the 2511T.

[@outdoors-fun]

How many full turns out are your low and high jets on the carb after making the changes to the 2511?

[@richardflagg3084]

Not far off from the factory settings to be honest. I can't remember exactly, but they are around 3-4 turns out at the factory. It's uncommon for sure. Most carbs are 1 turn out on both.

[@Thisnamewillwork213]

I live in South Carolina, how can I get in touch to port some saws?

[@garengtutorial8923]

Oke bro mantap

[@mikeeiben3430]

What oil mix did they run with the 460?

[@richardflagg3084]

The saw was last used and tuned at 7000ish feet (altitude) and was not retuned for 900 ft. It had what I believe was Stihl HP, but can't say for sure.

[@MrJeepfreak1972]

Looks like echo power blend gold mix to me.

[@kentabyte]

Please show how you install dog on 2511t. Do you make thread in plastic can be used sealant or hot melt for this job? Tnx

[@sawmanbigtreeslayer2360]

Self tapping screw.

[@boomupengineering]

Yes these screws form their own threads.

What grinder settings do you use for the stihl 63ps chain?

[@richardflagg3084]

I've got a video with the angles I use vs Oregon's recommended settings. One of them addresses tilting and not tilting the vice. Use the search feature on my channel home page and type in "tilt"

[@jonathanfierberg3807]

That is a clamshell ?

[@kbittorf335]

Yes and no. The cylinder is removable from the crankcase portion allowing top end rebuild. I guess not the ordinary clamshell.

[@eugenecunningham491]

Do you know what it's like to want to own a saw like that people I can buy it iIn a heart beat

[@Sethhaun78]

They probly loctite. Everything because the old saws always rattled loose

[@Sethhaun78]

Probly cost of new

[@Sethhaun78]

They need to throw that bar and chain away.or give it to a homeowner with battery rear handle
