It's a pain in the ass. I set it too fat then slowly leaned it out until it felt "right". Of course that made me nervous so I fatten it up and started over ten times.
13,200 was where this one made my tach go stupid. I would rather see an unlimited coil on this saw out of all the saws I've done.

Yeah that is pretty much what I did, but as you said... it doesn't fill me with confidence. The manual says that it should be tuned to 14,000 so they must be running a different limited coil?

I didn't check to see if the 200t coil fits. Did you by chance?

Me neither, but I will have a look when I get a chance.

Bummer......
Echo 355T? HAHAHA, it'll be just another version of the cheap, bulky, flexy, heavy, unbalanced, rasping, vibrating, screeching, crappy, nasty, plasticy 350/360T all over again.....

A rev limited coil might not be such a bad thing. I've tach'd a few mates 200T's and often see them up in the high 14k even low 15k. They didn't tune them, they just end up that way. I set mine at around 14k. To be honest, they sound right at nearly 15k, sound sluggish at 13,500. They bog easy when they're fat in the high too.
Tuning them real lean can't be all that bad for them because I know lots of guys who are running them that way their whole life with no consequences.

I ran the 201t pretty much all day today, ended up with H about 3/4 turn past 13300. It now cuts twice as fast as a ms170 (feels like it anyways) and doesn't bog down in the cut at all.
It's a real torquey little saw... hmmm might have to get a 201 for limbing someday :biggrin:

As a complete side track..........
The 600Ps and other Echo saws I've built (and there have been several) have had no reliability issues that I've heard of.
I've had a 372xp come unwound before though.
Just saying.
