Hi bn120: I do not know model no. RCIGN may know. It is a opposed twin....I guess that is same as boxer. It is not a inline twin. My neighbor has one....I am going to make a trade with him. What is your favorite conversion so far? Thanks John

Echo twin chainsaw model CST601..62cc, opposed twin, reed valve in the case, carb mounted sideways on a fiberglass manifold..The crank, rods, and cylinders are used by D&B and maybe some others to make twins..The Echo chainsaw cylinders are not identical..One spark plug points up and the other points down, to better fit inside a chainsaw case..Also sold by John Deere..No longer available in the US, although parts obviously are..$$$$$$$$...Last one on E Bay went for about $250.00..
