They're a nightmare.  Should sell them in packs of 10. There is a knock on affect as well..I burnt a hole in my chainsaw pants when I didn't notice one damaged once.

And my shirts and even my stomach got a little burn.

Another option is to get both exhaust and cover from a clone 2511 saw. The exhaust is one part that people say is an improvement and the cover does appear more robust.

 

 

I know the exhaust is a straight swap, unsure about the cover... But I have both.. give me a couple hours and I can try it.

Yes, the clone exhaust and cover should fit nicely on the genuine Echo saw. I did not swap the exhaust as I did not want to disturb the original... I'd expect the clone cover to melt if tried with the original exhaust, as the original is open at the bottom, to allow the gas out.

 

If you had wanted to use the original cover on a clone exhaust, the cover would need modifying, not sure why anyone might want to but since I had it off, I tried it.

 

 

While I was there, the clone has felt slightly low on power. Checked the plug and its been running rich. I've never touched the carb, so probably needs a slight adjustement.
