Ported Efco MT 6510 chainsaw

[@Houseworksaws]

All these EFCO vids reminds me to finish my MT8200

[@barrygolden9823]

I was sad to see the 8200 discontinued....... Glad to have gotten mine while they were available!!!

[@Houseworksaws]

@@barrygolden9823 Yeah definitely and I rarely ever see them for sale used. They’re setup really well from the factory. My plan is to do race/play/GTG build. They have a WJ from the factory so that’s a really nice start.. 52mm windowed piston so lots of options there and a really high quality cylinder. Should make for a really fun build.

[@barrygolden9823]

@@Houseworksaws mine only has a muffler mod but, as you know, they are overbuilt and seem like they will run forever!!! The down side....... they're heavy!

[@Houseworksaws]

@@barrygolden9823 Man that muffler was fun to gut out 🙄😆.. I ended up splitting it then brazing it closed after. Made it run so much better tho and yes they are tanks lol 😆

[@johnlincicum6390]

​@@HouseworksawsI have a MT8200 too.

[@shawnlonge373]

That saw runs really nice 👍

[@Houseworksaws]

Just keep proving low roof isn’t the only way to make a saw run.

[@aaronpowell4885]

A good port job always helps one to not notice the weight as much😁 good runner👍🏻 between the ms400 and cs-670, I'd like to see it against the 670!

[@ToddAdams1234]

I was asked to do a demo cut with a BRAND NEW 40cc unit of an Efco unit yesterday. It did remarkably well for what it was. HOWEVER, the chain was a junky semi chisel AND it had the extra low kickback bumper stuff at well. If it had a REAL PS or any other “Yellow” chain, it’d down infinitely better. A chain will make or brake a saw.

[@ToddAdams1234]

Oh yeah, it also used “PAC-man” needles for the carb to adjust.

[@charlespeacock8360]

I get it. Thought the Makita 6421 was heavy for 64ccs (Home Depot rental). Put a 54mm jug on and its fun now.

[@BuckenStanleyRay]

My personal experience is that running a little lean up top can also cause the low side to seam lean. So try more fuel on the high side may fix the low side slow idle return.

[@tantonrosencranz2718]

Most likely what would of like the 102e but not to bad that has the EPA carb on it u might want to modify the carb to help with the idle

👊TR

[@novicelumberjack]

I've already removed the limiters. What else is there to do?

[@stevenodell9183]

So It's not the ignition coil that limits the revs?

[@Macgyver-ranch]

Just the tip?

[@Casaperformancechainsaws]

Nice! What design is the cylinder? Open or closed?

[@ferdinandhuber8774]

I just picked up a efco 165 the predecessor to the 6510 making me want to crack it open.

[@fnfailure]

Honestly I like EFCOs they kind of remind me of Echos saws they just work and run

[@johnm8891]

KZbin captions have you calling yourself the Novel Slumberjack

[@coolestguyontheplanet723]

Efco industrial saws. So you do read your comments😅

[@jimmylarge1148]

Bro busted out the ol’ snort action 😂

[@masonmcqueen5059]

Dang! I gotta get me one of those!

[@coolestguyontheplanet723]

Ilike efco😊

[@forrestebert5276]

What is the difference if any between the 6500 & 6510 model? I looked up the comments and they have 4 plants 2 in Italy and 2 in China.

[@novicelumberjack]

No idea. Best guess would be that the 6510 has epa carb and cat muffler.

[@forrestebert5276]

@@novicelumberjack I’ve been told 6510 is just a newer saw same as the 6500.

[@chigray3662]

Husky 562 XP M2 would be a good matchup.

[@patrickjoy9551]

Never heard of Efco. I had to look it up. Seem like a solid saw but that saw weighs what a 572xp does and more than a 500i. 😳

[@crazyfeller5704]

👍👍 gonna be looking for efco cylinders in Europe……😀

[@Doc-Cole_Trickle-of-Chainsaws]

Come across some stuff at an auction @ here, 2 mid/late 2023 CS310 w/ non catted muffler, blows my theory of the new models would have a catted muffler IDK, man what a 💩 Ton of grinding compared 2 these open ones! Have you had any of the ones that barely have a opening going into the muffler instead of the big round inlet?😖😤🤐

[@crazyfeller5704]

All of the ones I have seen have the large hole. It really does stink trying to get the cats out. It’s a lot of work getting the normal cage out, but the cat ones are brutal. I’ve tried several methods. Masonry bit to chisel out the cat and a cutting wheel at the inlet and outlet of cage is still the fastest. Thought I would try melting/cutting one out. That did not work well😞

[@Doc-Cole_Trickle-of-Chainsaws]

@@crazyfeller5704 I used a big flathead screwdriver @ the edge of the cat comb 2 breakaway from the muffkin and removed in chunks(is it platinum in these?) a cylindrical grinding bit on my rotary grinder 2 get 2 the cat and everything after.

[@tedneitzel]

562mk2 would be cool but 670!

[@forrestebert5276]

Too bad the 670 Champ Jonesred is a bit more CC’s as they are comparable in weight just with the 670 being a 50mm vs the 48 mm of the Efco! Just port the Proyama saw and have a shootout between the Efco 6510 & the Proyama!

[@masonmcqueen5059]

Race it with the ported 670, maybe even with a 590!

[@georgesjunk]

Hah! Thats thumbs up sneaked by you 😅

[@sawnut3814]

I have a ported 6500 too, they rip! More people need to be made aware of these
