I have had an echo 2511t for about 2 years now. Found one at a pawn shop and fell in love. Its the first top handled saw I've owned and I use it daily.
However, I find myself constantly working on it. It tends to overheat after about an hour, so now I have 2. But when one is down for repairs, I have to constantly give it breaks so that it doesn't randomly smoke. It also has a constant flow of vapor coming out of the vent.
Another issue is the oil system randomly stops getting oil to the bar. The only way I have fixed that is to disassemble the saw, clean EVERYTHING, and that gets very annoying as I still don't know what causes it to start happening.
Does anyone have advice on these issues or a recommendation for a saw as lightweight as the 2511??
