Thank you for this! We had looked everywhere for a video actually showing someone starting the CS590. My husband had tried to start it with his earmuffs on, as he does with his smaller Echo chainsaw) and missed the false start on the 590! Excellent video.
Handles with room for human feet in boots would be a nice upgrade. I've never seen a chainsaw whose handle wasn't apparently designed for toddlers. Great saw though.
Excellent training video. The fact that each step is repeated reinforces the learning process. I thought the instructor’s no nonsense demeanor was very effective for this tutorial.
I love my echo 590. Back before I got it, I did not know about echo products. This is the 8th year I have used it. I am thinking about getting the 4910 for a back up saw. Last year I bought a new carb for the saw. I was using it every day and found out the diaphragm could get jelly like. That was the first I have ever heard of doing that. I live and learn. If I did not have the Echo CS 590, I would sit down and just cry. I mean these are great saws! One thing I do on a flooded saw is take the plug out then turn the saw upside down pulling the starter rope several times to get the gas out of the cylinder. Then wipe off the spark plug with a dry towel or cloth. This will not have me to breath all of that smoke. You are doing it correctly in the video. A person who drop starts the saw scares me for their safety. I want everyone to be safe out there. I love Echo!
Thank you for letting us know when cold-starting to stop after pulling the starter chord five times and turning off the choke. Pull with choke off until it stars.
That chainsaw was cold, you can tell because the smoke that came out of it. One piece of advise, don’t use the compression valve, give it 2 pulls with choke on then push the choke and pull until it starts usually second pull.
I've not ran mine in a year . Empty the gas tank changed spark plug, Put new chain on it new gas added bar oil fired right up cut down 5 trees not one problem! CS590
I bought the 4910 3 weeks ago and it’s been in the shop most of the time. It starts and runs a couple minutes then dies and won’t restart for a while. When it does finally restart it runs for a minute and dies again.
I know what you'er saying . I bought the 590. It started twice and hadn't started since.I know how to start a saw.Anyway i do everything he says and the damn thing doesn't start for beans Never hear the false start. No matter how many times i pull it nothing happens except a pain in my shoulder.😂
My almost new 590 is terrible. It will NOT start. It's now a garage boat anchor. I am not alone. Many complain about the same difficult situation. Some start, many don't. There should be a recall or a carb swap or something. These instructions are useless. I have gas flow, i have spark. No pop.
Renee from Home Depot. Rental rep said it sucks but the only product they carry. The engine will flood if you look at it the wrong way. Spent more time getting it started than working.
I have a brand new 4910 and none of this works! Tried the hacks that say remove the plug, add some oil/gas(using Trufuel), and replace dry plug. Still no start.
I agree with mostly everyone here. Brand new Echo chainsaw and I had to return one and get a new one. Still will not start. No reason for me to search TH-cam videos to start a brand new saw. This is crazy.
My 4510 worked started for days and maybe 4 hours of time. Really needed but i couldnt get started. Good thing i had a fresh chain on my stihl ms171. Took longer but the work got done.
Mine started great out of the box.. less than a month in and I cant get it started have changed the spark plug. I have read some people flood them with the decompression switch. Does anyone start their timberwolf up without using the decompression switch?
The problem with the compression valve is that if you don’t pull hard enough and it doesn’t decompress by second pull then it gets flooded. My advise is don’t use it instead pull the choke out, pull 2 times then push the choke and pull until it starts.
I have several saws by different manufacturers. This is my least favorite of all of them. I can literally NEVER get this saw running. I hate that I wasted the money on it. Only echo product I can't recommend.
Did you buy it new? Have you been back to the dealer who sold you the saw and asked him to demonstrate starting the saw? Did you ask him to tune up the saw so it starts easily?
Small 2 stroke engines rely on good fuel mix (with fresh fuel) and a certain specific technique with each different engine... to start them. You can either learn the tricks or get frustrated and pigheaded about it...
This method works on new or low hours cs590. But if you have one that has like 100+ hours of use you can easily flood them and they will never start this way. Ive got a method for starting even the most stubborn cs590 maybe ill make a video but people would just complain so ill probably keep to myself. If intersted just hit me up ill tell you the secret
@@josem.2909 Have had the same experience. Own 2 homes and have multiple chainsaws, weed trimmers and pole pruners. Mostly Echo, but did have a 455 Rancher, which was a great saw and lasted 16 years. My CS-590 has been great, have owned at least 8 years. Don't like the decompression feature and in my experience it has caused starting issues, especially with a warm start. Also weird that there is not any priming bulb to advance the fuel on the 590. I never know whether it is properly fueled when I add gas. All that being said, I have rarely had starting issues with any Echo product. The Stihl pole pruner I have can be a real bitch to start and I had to replace the carb once because I had old fuel in it. My Echo CS-310 is awesome and starts every time. Just too puny to do any real tree felling.
Manual didnt mention any of this; probably why mine didnt start. Solution: Dont use the compression button and it wont flood Dont use other brands of gas in a can
The decompression button seems like a dumb feature that actually makes it harder to start the saw. I have regretted using it the few times I tried. I just do choke, 1-2 pulls, then push choke lever back in and pull 1-2 more times and it starts right up almost every time. Unless you accidentally leave your saw outside through two thunderstorms like I recently did. Only reason I'm having trouble starting it.
This saw. Is the biggest temperamental piece of shit I ever bought. This is the type of saw that you spend more time trying to start it than anything else. I don’t recommend this to anybody.
@@idigbebop operator error lol. I flooded mine when I 1st bought it. But after I figured out the quirks they're great. I own 2 now and sold my Husqvarna 450s
@@comebackonthis247 Yes, the above people didn't follow the instructions exactly: at the first change in sound when attempting to start a cold saw, turn the choke OFF/push IN. NOT doing that will flood almost any brand of chainsaw.
Hey Echo, seriously the CS-590… unmitigated POS. Once you get it started, following the choke/2 pull and the take off choke pull till it starts directions in these comments, the reward is a saw that runs for 5 minutes and then craps out. I have a lot of Echo equipment and I gotta say, you messed up with this one. You should refund or replace this turd. Ugh.
Really? I like the 590. It seems to be a little more finicky than my favorites but not trash at all. I own, and use regularly, the Husky 572xp, Stihl Ms 311 and Stihl Ms362. While all the others I place above the 590; However, I believe that's strictly due to Echo still being relatively knew in the chainsaw game. Of all the chainsaws I own and have listed obviously the Stihl 362 is my favorite. But the 590 definitely serves a purpose. I liken it to being more of a "bulldozer" and the others more so variations of scalpels: meaning even eating large rounds you still feel the saw is doing exactly what you want it to be doing. And I make this comment as someone that cuts about 600 cords of wood a year. Maybe a little more. I'm wondering why you dislike the 590?
@@sterlingsterling4701 It's a great running saw IF you can get it started. It floods way too easy. My Husqys all start easy. Most of the time, I end up giving up on it and find something else to do. The best way I've found to start it is two pulls with the choke, then squeeze the throttle and give it hell. Any other starting sequence ends up flooding it.
My lord make sure u have chaps, ear protection long sleeves, steel toe boots, face shield, hard hat, and the sun facing in a perfect line to ur back lmao just to start a damn saw with no intent on cutting a tree.
U need to make documents and videos with the first saw ! First 4510! 3510 ; then 4910 nice strategy but any man who knows a hustle when it has spit on your shoes...,.
Bought one at Home Depot. Unboxed it. Added fuel and bar oil. Read instructions and followed them. Worst piece of junk I have ever seen. NEVER started. Did not even get one false start. Read multiple instructions and watched multiple videos on start. Again, it NEVER started one time. Tried multiple times and finally gave up. It does not have a purge bulb. What, if anything, the decompression button does I cannot figure out. After the purchase and problem starting, I checked multiple reviews. It seems as though many people have had same issue as I did. Echo, what in the world did you do to your product. I've run chainsaws for 50 years and this is a first. There are not enough adjectives in the English language to criticize the CS4910 sufficiently.
Bought this 590 earlier this year from Home Depot. But nothing but trouble trying to get the damn thing to start; even took it to the shop. Chainsaws are not new to me as I go back to the 1980s with a McCulloch 610. I also have an Echo 500VL and an Echo 341 (an awesome saw!). This 590 is junk. I will be off-loading soon as I’m not gonna tolerate this crap!
I hate this piece of shit. One of the worst products echo ever made. Never starts. My blower and weed eater work great but this design was a complete fail by echo. Start over with this $500 paper weight. You never know when it’s gonna work or not and when you need it , it will fail you and you’ll be using a ax. Nothing is made like it used to be and it’s very frustrating, even when you spend a lot .

Confusing instructions on the initial start up can cause flooding.

when flooded is it normal to see wetness around the decompression valve?
Yes. Mine does if I flood it. But since I've learned it's starting quirks I've not had a single problem.
Well, yes. The decomp is a direct inlet to the cylinder, any liquid will squeeze out.
