Is there an Echo in here?

[svk]

Yup there is!



Found this for about $85 off retail so I couldn't say no.

Not sure what improvements she shall see but I'd expect her to be breathing a bit better before firing up the first time

Be really careful on those sharp edges. I'm serious, have Band-Aids and quick-clot on hand, the plastic on those Echos not only feels cheap, but is sharp as a razor.

Good to know!

whats not to like? professional grade engine,reduced effort starter,( your not getting any younger ) and a bottle of 2 stroke mix. seriously Steve i have run @James Miller echo's and they were a smooth running saws. i did some noodling with his 590 and it never missed a lick.
edit: i missed the 5 year warranty.

The 590 is a noodling fool. Neither one of mine made it past 5 tanks before the limiters were trimmed and muffs opened up.

I am happy that it takes the same bar pattern as my little Dolmar so I can swap bars and chains back and forth. I wish LCS still had 14" bars to pick up a spare but I am sure I'll find one on sale somewhere.

Funny you mention that, I darn near cut my hand on an MS180 the other day. The flashing on the bottom side of the handlebar was like a knife edge!

I hope Echo's quality isn't going the way of Stihl...that's not typical of them, IME.

I am very interested to compare this to my Dolmar. I would expect fit/finish and longevity to go to the Dolmar. At least according to specs the Echo is .3 lighter. Curious how they would perform stock to stock. That is the only reason I wouldn't open up the muffler right off the bat.

I really with the Dolmar 352 was available here but the darn EPA isn't being very helpful.

Hope it cuts faster than that picture loads!

I don't know why . . . the site has plenty of 'mods'!
