Gotta say that 192 was anemic. The 201 was nice, but not worth the dough. Can't beat the echos for the price.

+ 1 on lose the cat. My echo 341 does much better now unrestricted and carb readjusted. Love that saw. Starts easy and will idle like nobody's business on the lanyard. Plus the oiler is great

Great score on the 330T! When I went to the Echo dealer nearby, they didn't have a lot of the models they listed on their website anymore - said they are discontinued. The website showed 4 models but they only carry 3 now, I think. I believe the 360T is no more.

Advance the timing and open the muffler up on a 192 and it makes a huge difference. Same thing my 201 but Stihl redid the 201 with the flywheel advanced 4°.
Echo is decent for the price but don't hold up for heavy commercial use like they used to. I had a 355T and i had to replace the handle twice because it broke in less than a year.

Any one know if these tanaka top handles are worth a ****. The commercial warranty puts stihls in the dirt obviously performance is another ? But my buddy fell out of a crab and is scared to climb now lol. I've tryed it and it's decent I guess my question is it worth the 75 he wants for it

Or will it leave me hangin in the long run but a 2 year commercial warranty you can't really argue with but I don't want a saw in for warranty work more than I use it

I HAVE STYLE
I bought a real nice Dolmar top handle at an auction for $6, seems like I got my money's worth so far.. I'm still not real crazy about using the top handles for limbing from the ground unless you need to use it one-handed.
