The new 360 is a far tougher saw, I think you had the little one by the sounds of things. The 360 has the toughest lanyard clip on the market.

Last paragraph, spot on, avoid at all costs. -

That exposes you as either biased, or ignorant of basic vehicle maintenance, lots of people work LR's with few problems, they outperform the competition in bad terrain, are reliable with regular maintenance, & the parts are relatively cheap. What experience do you have of running them, or did you just have one that was a lemon, it does happen with any motor? -
I have a feeling these Echo top handle saws are going to become more mainstream, I have the 360, & the small one, they are good honest well built saws, & seem to last, if fragility is creeping in on the 'big two', these are the most viable contenders, My little 26cc top saw is 5 years old, has had some abuse, & it still runs sweet as a nut, just a chain brake spring replaced.

Your a bad man mate!

Yep, have a good trip Eddy!

That's a cracking Triumph bobber, very sweet!
-
Yep,sure is, you get what you pay for.

Just support a uk dealer, you won't be too much more expensive, & you will have less hassle, a warranty, etc...and uk dealers still here in years to come, getting that will be penny pinching to cut your own throat, imo.

Here is the link to his website, give him a call if you are confused, he will sort you out. Chainsawbars ? chainsaw chains, chainsaw bars and chainsaw accessories

You can't do better than talking to Rob D of Chainsaw Bars, he will sort you out pronto, & is a top fella with it.

I'm surprised it got that bad & still ran!

I found that interesting Paul.

The 360 is the one for general tree work, the little one is a fine light pruning saw, like the Stihl 150 once tuned. I got a carving bar for mine from Rob D, & it is lovely on the 360!

Getting an old engine going again.

If stood for a while I would put a few ml of light oil down the plug hole, let it sit, then turn it over to coat the bore, then give it a go after checking the fuel & spark systems are good. -
I'm sorry to hear that mate, we had a spate of it round here too.
-
Get yourself sorted out mate, asap, not something to take lightly.

Yes it's a lovely place, he's a good man too, level head, not too big headed, & he has a few great mates, but watch out for his cat! -

If you get stuck try Felixthechopper, he has one in Fryerning, it's 5 minutes off a12 shenfied junction. -
It's a no brainer, you must let them know, & to hide your knowledge would be vindictive at worst, dishonest at best. Maintain your own standards, & let others look after theirs, your environment will be a better place for it.

That must have been terrible, its gone completely!

Well I beg to differ, having actually owned a few Echo's over the years, looks can be deceiving sir, & beauty in the eye of the beholder. They are cost effective, yes, 2 year pro warranty, well thought out, strong plastics, smooth & reliable motors, & dare I say it, Jap built. So what is your personal & professional experience with them Troll, if I may ask?
-
Cheers me old mate!
