Echo 2511 tuning

[tim361]

Evening all. Can anyone point me in the direction on how to get these running 100%. I tried following the video that RobD did but following his instructions my saw wouldn’t even run.

What carb settings have you given it....turns out from fully in?

Ended up starting with the stihl settings and tuning with a tach to try and get the settings/rpms that RobD’s video says but couldn’t get it past 12,300 rpm at full chat

The full turn for the h screw and 3/4 for the l. I tried the setting that were suggested in the videos and the saw wouldn’t even fire.

What were the settings?

I also sound that video meant my saw didnt run. I cant quite remember but , im sure it says something about starting out with one of the screws right in and then turning it out and taching it - couldnt get past this so just would it out a bit and went from there.

I've spent so long trying to set mine up perfectly, and its pretty good now, but im hesitant to turn the screws in so i can tell you the settings, as it could take me hours and several tank fulls to sort it out again!

Fiddley wee buggers.

If i remember correctly the h screw did something mad, like us you unwind it beyond one turn, the revs died off as youd expect, then pick up quite nicely again, out beyond 2.5 turns. Worth a good play with it anyway. Bear in mind all of the above may be completely unique to my saw and of no help what so ever.

Exactly what happened to me, And mines still far from perfect. I’ve got the idle sorted but it doesn’t like hot starting without blipping the throttle while starting it. 

Id like to tell you what I’ve got it set at now but I’m scared to touch it and lose what I’ve got so far

These are the recommended settings.

 

They are fiddly little feckers though.

 

Mine is running on a bit at the moment, but does start well when you get the knack (with the chainbrake off).
