You'll need a tach.

Any cheap tach recommendations? One in video looks pricey

I’ve drilled the exhaust on mine, hardly ever use the 201 now

Would this fit the echo? https://rover.ebay.com/rover/0/0/0?mpre=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ebay.co.uk%2Fulk%2Fitm%2F123284157274

Yes. They are the exact same ones I use. I have several. The double D's can also be modified to fit if you're so inclined. Also the pacman one will work as well. It's just a lil sloppy in the hole. Kinda like a girl I recall  dating back in college.

Ace saw but mine isn’t oiling at all already - only bought it in the Black Friday last year. Anyone else had issues with there’s not oiling properly?

really having trouble setting the tickover on my 2511, it was increasingly cutting out whilst idling so thought id wind the T screw in a little but now it wont even tick over at all!!

Welcome to the club! Tuning these little echoes is an artform. I am fine on most saws but getting this one right is hard. I have recently revisited it, got much better starting ( not always having to hold the throttle) great response, no chain creep, but will only idle on a strip for 20seconds.

Rob d has done a yootoobe video on how to tune them. It didnt really work with mine but may well with yours.

I have you payed with the l or h screw? If not I would try returning the tick over to where it was and leaning the L screw 1/8 of a turn ( clockwise).

Not played with l or h screws, just had it back from spud month ago and it cuts great but just a bit shit on tickover but now it’s not even useable I’ve moved the tick over screw more than I can remember where it goes now!

Not sure why increasing the idle speed has made it unusable as it would normally just increase the idle speed unless you undid the screw thus slowing it down!

The Echo is a sod of a saw to get right and have recently found that the saws idle speed will drop around 3-500rpm when hung vertically. I have been through the saw I had in and found it to be the vibration in the saw when hung vertically and did get a very Heath Robinson fix on it as found there was nothing else wrong with it.

The idle issue may be an issue with one component with the carb but may also be just a small tweak - as I said, these saws are fussy....very damn fussy!

Go on then spill the beans howd you get it to idle while hanging without chain creep? You manage to get it to start without throttle?
