Echo CS360 TES top handled saw

[Lumberwolf]

side cover removal and exhaust removal takes about 3 minutes.

 

 

wonder if cutting open the zorst and removing the offending loose part and placing it in the thrash receptacle would cause any running issues ie; would it run lean as a result and cause enjun damage? suppose ya cud simply tune it. Bet the warranty would be null and void then.

 

Yeah I was thinking just take the baffle out and richen it a bit

hi all bit of a disapointment with my 360 tes after 3 weeks it has not sorted its self out as hoped . after cutting a limb it runs on and chain goes round . no amount of tuning with the high and low needles or tickover screw can dial this out , fine if just free reving it but not once used under load . anyone had probs with their 360 like this . its had to go to the shop they are going to sonic clean the carb . shame as our two cs620sx saws are going well .

Shame, think I will stick to husky and stihl.

I was told today that echo spares are a lot more expensive (though hopefully not required so often) - an example was a clutch drum costing nearly £40 while the Stihl ones are around £11-15.

My dealer sells mostly Stihl and Husky but he can get hold of Echo if needed so he's not entirely biased.

Just another consideration.

 

C'mon Echo, good product - seize the moment and get spares (supply and price) sorted.

I'm still undecided.

Looking to buy a new top handle saw just not sure whether to get the echo or the husky. Have used a husky a few times and felt powerful but have heard about some probs with it. The echo is a lot cheaper and I have a small echo top handle which is good but don't know what the 360tes is like?

[Ian C]

I don't know what it's like but the spares problem would put me off straight away.

I have the 360, it has been a good saw to be honest, I would buy another if it was needed certainly.

[geoff]

You can get spares, just have to find the good dealers, but Husky will have a better spares setup, they need it for that topper!

I have the 360 TES also, i too would buy anudder one if required but it's a toss up between a new MS201T as they are excellent imho.
