Tiny echo!

[Old Mill Tree Care]

Mine stalls most of the time when idling. It takes several pulls to restart it, usually.

Not entirely impressed as my 2510 was better in this area.

I guess I need to buy the tool to adjust the carb.

However, I still love it and wouldn't change it.

 

I have since bought a tuning tool so that I can adjust the carb. At first I thought it was incredibly annoying to fit the tool to the screw head but then I realised it is designed to be a tight fit and therefore stay attached whilst running and tuning the saw. Genius!!

 

My 2511 now cuts brilliantly but stalls on idle unless I turn the idle screw in and then it idles so fast that the clutch is engaging!

It also takes about 7 pulls to start it every single time. My patience is wearing thin as the effort saved in having a light saw is now negated by having to pull the cord so excessively.

Any ideas before I change careers and become a van driver?

Thanks

Al.

My little Chinese top handle (that looks like an Echo) had a similar problem. I set it to tick over fast so it didn't stall then backed the L screw out till it slowed down. Has your carb got limiters on the screws ? I bought a diaphragm kit for the saw carb as well but thought I would try some carb cleaner down the H & L screw holes with the screws removed and it runs spot on now so the kit is in stock for later. Spare saw here on Gumtree if you want a back up

Small engines (especially EC II compliant) tend to be a bit more sensitive to proper tuning, especially L/T ratio. 2510/2511 have completely the same engine. ECHOes have a very precise tuning procedure so if tuned properly there aren't running issues. If tuned "by ear" it is very typical to find that the unit was either running rich + open throttle or lean + closed throttle. In both occasions it has unstable idle. That's why it's recommended to have it tuned by a properly trained technician.

Thanks. I took it back to the dealer and the aforementioned condition is after the trained mechanic tuned it.

It is now exactly the same as it was before.

thats a shame , nothing more annoying than a saw that stalls, we had a ms260 that would idle all day and as soon as you picked it up it stalled, used to drive me mad. hope you get it sorted.

No what's more annoying is a pole hedge cutter that stalls when you blip the throttle after climbing a ladder to side up a hedge so you're faced with trying to start it again while hanging onto the ladder or going back down

Sad to hear. Obviously it's hard to tell but in many cases mechanics might skip some steps in tuning. One of those is 20s delay between needle turns (where every mechanic I ever met was rushing and barelly gave 5-10)

 

Anyway, drop me a PM if you got the adjustment tool.

Do i need to change the sprocket or anything to run the fancy little bar and chain from Rob on the 2510 so it goes on the 2511?

depends, tell us what bar and chain was is on there at the moment?

My poor Echo after it got stuck in a log and was pulled out of my hands. Would be much better if the strop attachment was on the lower body of the saw
