How To Repair An Echo CS-341 CS-3400 Chainsaw That Runs Bad

This video shows how to diagnose and repair an Echo CS-341, or CS-3400 top handle chainsaw that runs bad. The video includes how to replace the pull starter rope, replace the fuel hose and filter, and adjust the carburetor.
Note: The pull start handle seen in the video is not correct for this saw. It's an "ElastoStart" handle off a Stihl chainsaw, that the customer's employee installed. It was left on the saw because it functioned fine.

I don't know what algorithms aren't lining up, for views,.....but this man's small engine skills are incredible....Thank you again

That's really encouraging to hear. Thank you so much! Unfortunately, about 99% of viewers don't watch more than a minute or two, they don't rate the videos with a like, and they don't leave a comment. The algorithms read that as, "not interesting/not appealing/not worth watching" so the videos aren't put into people's feeds, or promoted in any other way, nor is the channel.

What is theory behind the coiled fuel line design? I noticed Husqvarna has used this type of design over the years, but only on a select few tools. This is the first time I've seen one used in an Echo fuel tank. In a pinch, can one substitute the normal uncoiled fuel line with a coiled one that is specified?

[@austinado16]

I don't know why they, or Husqvarna do the coiled fuel lines, and as you point out, it's only in certain saws. Yes, you can just use the straight Echo fuel line, but you'll have to source an outer diameter that will seal off, where it passes through the rubber grommet. I've successfully done it a few times, in order to get a saw that was needed, back out into the field.
