any way here is my new echo....real nice throttle response... idle was a lil high and im sure i will pull the limiters soon but its not bad as is......buried it in some seasoned oak and it cut well even with stock chain....

The lanyard loop on the 355T and the Stihl 201T are both too weak IMO. Several have come into my shop snapped off. The engineers who designed them likely never used one in a tree. My Echo 330T has a much tougher loop and so is the one on my vintage Echo 3400.

Mine came right out, and closed back up one time. The second time it opened and won't close. It's cheesy, but it's not in the way opened. I really like the saw.

I'd like to see your modification. Mine opened and closed once, but now it stays open.
