Greetings,
Last weekend I came upon a used Echo CS-4600 Echo chain saw at a swap meet. It looked to be in decent shape and had a tag on it "pops but doesn't run" ($45). Upon pulling it a few times I indeed got it to pop a few times but did not run. A few hours later of thinking about it and I went back to get it. So when I got it home I checked the spark, dumped out the old gas and put new in, tried it and nothing, no pops. Then I threw a shot of start fluid in it and it did nothing. No pops this time either. The plug is a BPMR7A. Good spark. Put a new fuel filter in it. No change. Tried a new plug, nothing. Inspected the carb lines and they look decent. Thinking it is a carb or fuel issue I looked up the carb on jacks small engine. Not available. My carb states Zama C3 on one side then K5 with 24S underneath it on the other side. It also has C3 on the top. Checked on e bay with the number from jackssmall engine and there was nothing for sale. Checked compression 110 psi.
What else could be wrong with this saw?
Where could I get a carb if I needed one?
What do these numbers on the carb mean?
What should compression be?
Thanks for any help
Sean
