Echo CS300 in pain

[treeslayer]

We need a carb and the appropriate cover for this saw.

Should be obvious, my buddy ran it for 2 days after the cover fell off.

Worst part is, he borrowed the saw from another buddy!

But I will save the day!

Take the carb off to see if a chip got caught in the reed valve...not a good thing!

Borrowing saws:

Now you know why no one borrows my stuff. If I do let someone borrow anything, they understand if it comes back broken, they pay to have it repaired, nomatter what the cost. Usually this deters them from borrowing my stuff. If you break it, you pay to have it fixed, at a dealer, at his prices or pay for a replacement, that I choose. That usually stops a lot of hassels. Gues I've become an old SOB over the years. Lewis.

I'll remember not to ask to borrow your tools, although IF I do break it, I usually can fix it myself too. more often than not I return a tool in either the same condition as I got it in, or better condition than I got it in.

I also dont believe in loaning out tools unless I KNOW the preson asking to borrow the tool and his reputation as well. If they ask and have a great rep for returning tools in the same or better shape than they got em' in I might loan the tool to them, but usually I just go over and do the job for them so they dont hurt themselves with a tool they're unfamiliar with, thats just for liability reasons.
