What top handle to get if not Stihl?

[Treespotter]

I think it's about time we start stalking all our Echo dealers for the new 355t.

The reviews are great in the US. This saw is in no way comparable with their old tophandle models.

Check it out and start harassing your local Echo dealer about it.

I got given a 200T today to fix up today by some one I have been working for. Its been in a shed for a year. Real filthy and had trouble getting it started. Gave it a real good clean and got the spark plug out and gave it a brush over and checked for spark, all good and fired up no worries so that pretty good.

 

Needs a new chain brake handle, chain, oil cap and a few screws for the pull cord side piece.

 

Still needs more of a clean as the inside is full of dried on saw dust but that's a whole different story and will search forums for tips as its real stuck on.

 

Thanks for the helpfull replies. Also thank you to "little green wood chopper" offering to sell me a husky 338xpt.

 

Make a post about top handles to get other than Stihls and I end up getting one

 

Would still be interested in any one else's thoughts on the original topic.
