Echo CS360 TES top handled saw

[R Mac]

I don't think the 360TES is a torquey as an MS200T, I used a 200T when I did CS-39 and a Husky 540, preferred the 200T. I got the feeling from my limited use of the 200T that it wasn't a high revving saw but held the revs really well and just kept cutting.

 

Definitely give the 360 time to warm up properly and give it a day or two to run in properly. Never tried a 201T so don't know how the 360TES would compare. I'd be interested in your feedback.

Comparing it with a 200,201 or 540 is missing the point slightly.

How so?

How so?

Sorry gents, my bad, I thought we were talking about the baby pruning saw akin to the Stihl 150.

Different thread.

Haven't used the saw, so can't comment, but Echo seem to have become serious contenders recently.

Just done a search and couldn't find anything, so apologies if it's been asked before.

 

Went to adjust my new 360 slightly this afternoon, and realised my standard orange Stihl screwdriver won't work on this carb! Never checked that before leaving the dealer...

 

Anyone know what tool is needed to adjust the carb, and where I can get one from please?

After three days use, inital reactions are good. Seems a bit more sluggish off the throttle than the MS201T, but then both of mine are well run in and have a muffler mod so maybe not entirely fair.

 

It has improved noticably over the week so far, so I'll reevaluate things at the end of the week.

 

The real test will come when I get my old faithful 201T back, then see which saw I pick up out of preference!

Remove the spark arrestor from the zorst.

Don't have my 360 to hand but it is either D or double D if I recall correctly.

Get yourself a set of these, they are cheap & cover all the newer variations on carb screws.
