    Echo CS-400 Chain Lock Problem

    Looks like the handle is bent forward a bit at the bottom left side putting the top closer to the chain-lock lever. I have straightened it a bit, and much of the problem is now gone. Just cut down and up several big, dead pines with only a couple of inadvertent chain lockups. Better and...

    Echo CS-400 probs

    To answer some q's: 1. It never ran well in that after warm up it would often stall when given gas. 2. Chain oil is/was full. 3. Chain had just a bit of slack. About right when compared with my aged Poulan Pro (which I shall go back to using after this dismal experience with echo)...

    Echo CS-400 probs

    I have a fairly new (summer 2008) ECHO CS-400. It has only limbed one downed pine, and ran not so well at that. But now, although it starts great, give it some gas and smoke and black globs blow out from underneath, maybe about where the chain is driven and/or oiled?? I am guessing...
