I have a little echo cs280wes with a 10" bar. It's a nice little saw but I'm trying to get a little more oomph out of it. I have just removed the wire mesh spark arrester.....anyone had experience of doing this? Is it worthwhile??

It is worthwhile in respect that they often get blocked up and stop the exhaust flowing but as a way of getting an instant tune up, I think you may be disappointed. More performance comes with a fair bit of extra work then this - you get out what you put in:thumbup:

Do it as a matter of course on all my saws . Did set fire to a log pile one dry summer though ! Put it out ok

S.O.P for many.
