Mine did suffer from dust getting into the carb until I put some vaseline around the base of the filter. I wonder if the carb needs cleaning?

 

Is cleaning the carb something I could do myself or I'm guessing it'd have to go to a dealers ... athough as it happened from new and the amout of use it's had I doubt that'd be the issue.

 

I have ordered a spark plug anyway ... for thr sake f a few quid may as well try it in case I happen to have got a dud.

I had one just the same,went back and forth to dealer for 12mths and never did run properly so chucked it in shed and forgot about it,bought another Echo after that and had trouble with that aswell,so won,t bother again with them

 

I have heard similar before from someone else unless it happened to be you that commented in a thread I started a while back when I bought it and 1st discovered the issues. 

 

The number of dealers that recommend them, often people that were arborists themselves  .... often over and above the other main names is very high bearing in mind they see the ones that get returned and are servicing them as well so see the regular problems / failings.

 

I wonder if it's a case of overall they are very good but maybe they have more "Friday Afternoon Jobbies" than they should and you're just unlucky if you happen to get one of those ... that said you'd have to be awful unlucky to get 2 unless that bad uns are fairly numerous.

 

I think I'd still like to upgrade though as I didn't realise quite how much I was going to use it when I bought it and would have thought an approx 50cc with at least another kw output would make quite a bit of difference in cut time per round compared to a 34cc.

 

Any other recommendatiosn greatly appreciated 👍

@ Witterings   ANY saw can fail in the  wrong  hands, but been a ripple of manufacting fails over last 15 yrs,  too  many of quality names to boot. At the cabin office today n pulled out a chinese saw a mate on here gave me. Slung fuel out of it filled with fresh and it cracked up, sawed logs fr woodstove and ticked over smashing. What can you say  🙁   K
