Hi,
Always thought a Stihl, was the best Chainsaw you could buy, but...

Just finished a rehab on an ECHO CS-3000 and seems a lot easier to work on and seems a quality Saw.

Bought this from a Member and was told of it's problems which was fine, parts are readily still available.

Had it all apart and in a plastic tub under a bench for months as other things kept getting in the way.

Finally got tired of looking at it in pieces and finish working on it.

Rebuilt the Carb with a kit, ran new fuel lines and filter, cleaned it up and tuned it up with a Tach.

Noticed I wasn't getting oil on thechain and it turned out the oil holes on the bar was plugged!

Over all, I think she cleaned up nicely and will be easier to use cutting shrubs than my bigger Stihl 026 PRO!

Hi,
I had a 019 that was a royal pain.

I like this ECHO better...WAY better!
