I have an echo cs-450 too and i think that is a very good saw at an honest price, only the standard bar of 18 inch make me perplexed.. maybe a 16" bar would be much appropriate.
But i think your chain is blunt... too much dust and too few chips.
Thanks for the vid and sorry for my lame english :-) , greetings from Italy
Looks like a decent saw, but why are you revving the shit out of it, you're gonna hurt it. Any engine should never be ran full throttle without load (especially when breaking one in)
@xIntoThePitx Owners manual and service manual would disagree. Wide open throttle is how you set the high side fuel mixture. One would have to run a two stroke at wide open throttle for an exessive amount of time to cause damage.
@xIntoThePitx who freakin cares. its his saw. i tune my saws the same way and i also use a tachometer. thats the only way to tune a carb with any 2 stroke motor. you apparently have no experience with tunning saws. also running a saw wide open will not damage the crank or the P/C on the saw. nice try but thats a myth. youd have to run it wide open with no load for a whole tank of gas for the slightest possibility of something failing. echos are build like tanks. good video mweba1 i enjoyed it.!
@joshuarugg - You're hilarious bud, look at you go. If you need any gismo's to assist you in tuning a simple 2 stroke other than a screw driver and your ears, then you're not holding much credit. If you go easy on stuff, it lasts 10x longer, is more reliable, saves fuel. Higher revs = more friction, wears the cylinder/rings prematurely which over time results in loss of compression, exponential when the engine is cold. Guess if u have no pride of ownership have at it dude, rev the fuck out of it
@xIntoThePitx I use a tach for two reasons...many new saws have rev limiters and or retard the ignition at high speeds, this makes it difficult to tell the difference between four stroke and electronic interference. Second, most of these saws are ported and a tach is a good way to measure performance gain. I tune all of my non rev limited saws by ear and take great pride in my work and ownership.

@mweba1 - "Do not run engine at high speed unnecessarily" -Manual.
Anyways, I'm not here to argue. It's your saw. Appreciate the vids!

@xIntoThePitx LOL ...... but you argue. As I was checking four stroke it was not unnecessary.
Thanks for watching, I enjoy running the saws and sharing the video.

@xIntoThePitx Granted running a two stroke at high revs is harder on them but it needs to be done to an extent for tuning purposes.
Thanks for your interest guys. And please keep it clean as my children read this.
