I'm leaning towards doing the same...it's so cheap, I'm going to fix anything that goes wrong myself most likely. Anything short of a full meltdown anyway. If that's going to happen, it should happen during break in.I have not needed Echo's warranty service but have heard Echo can be difficult in that area. So I removed the limiters and lightly modded the muffler right off the bat. The factory WOT spec for the 355T is 13.3-14.5k. I keep mine tuned between 13-13.5k and it pulls better than a little saw should. Did anyone mention how easy to start it is.
Theres really not much gains in modding the muffler. It's an empty can to begin with. Biggest gains are found with some grinding in the air box.
After running standard carb 201's for another guy I feel I made the right decision in purchasing my 193, especially if you consider cost. I either broke it in right or just got a good one because it cuts fantastic and all I really did was trim the carb limiters. Yes it pulls hard, yes it dances around while running but I rarely set it down while idling. I really like the ergos better than a 201 but that's personal I suppose, probably the best starting saw I own.
haha, yeah he's in the same state so pretty close. I took the muffler off and checked out the piston...some weird discoloration on the skirt, but other than that it looks good. I'll definitely pull the limiters and tune it once I get a chance.
yep that was to your saw i think... i will delete it....that way it does not cause any issues...
well it wont let me delete it maybe a moderator will for me ...
he is in my saved sellers list....
