- I saw this ECHO CS-440 listed for a suspiciously low $40 and decided to take a chance on it. Let's see if I got a good deal or if it's completely worn out
Walbro WT-710 Carb Kit: D10-WAT or K10-WAT
Fuel Filter: Walbro 125-527 (Walbro 125-528 is correct)
Air Filter: Stens 605-319
questionable two stroke mix color, straight gas, Walbro WT-710, carburetor cleaning, carburetor kit, carburetor rebuild, carburetor gasket and diaphragm kit, new fuel filter, new fuel lines, remove carburetor limiter caps, air filter, testing

Nice grab.
I picked up a CS400 the other day for $40 as well. Almost looks new.
I kid you not, only issue was the air filter was so dirty, it couldn't breath.
Swapped it, and she's good as new.
I like the 440. Great deal for sure
I've always found that if you run the mixture screws all the way in till they just stop, and then come our 1.5 turns that's a good base setting for starting.
The adjust by quarter turns outward until it smoothes out, and revs freely.
Occasionally you'll might find one that requires less on the low side, but that's not the norm.
Generally 1.5 to 2 or 2.25 is usually the closest without actually using a tachometer to fine tune it.
But everyone is different especially in cold weather as you're definitely working in from the white stuff all around.
Something I might mention that I noticed on the nomelite video, is that when you were cutting the block of wood.
Going through a block of wood in the direction you were actually ripping, is typically the most difficult way for a chainsaw to cut.
So thst said, your saw was actually working harder than it normally would be.
I've also found that even though you have a brand new chain doesn't necessarily mean that it's a sharp chain, and it never hurts to touch it up with a new file just for good measure.
Just a couple of things I've learned over the years that I've picked up from the old men that used saws for either a living, are endless cords of firewood for their home heating.
Really appreciate you sharing all this information. It definitely helps me (and anyone reading) get better at this repair stuff!
great deal just picked one up for 75$. Always check your clutch drum when buying a used saw, they usually need to be replaced unless you know the saw has low hours. Nothing worse than ruining a new chain on a worn out drum.
The first thing i do when buy a used saw is remove the muffler and visually inspect the piston. Saves alot of time and headaches.
great tip, thanks!
The fuel you took out had water in it..I have a 440..and a 444 I bought cheap....the both run like Champs..I use them all the time..the 440 is a good saw..
