My muff and carb modded out of the box 201T runs the balls. I know one shouldn't have to do any mods to a saw to get it to run "right", but I am happy with the 101T especially that I paid $350 for mine..

I am very glad to hear this. I am just getting back in the game and have been using my Stihl 192tc for evrything pushing it beyond where it should be pushed. I didn't want to buy a brand new 201t and then have to mod it. I think I will be checking with my local Echo dealer who I like allot better than the 2 nearest Stihl dealers. Right now back up is Silky!

I didn't run it yet and the guard on the end is going in the trash.

At least they finally put a real start stop switch on.

I just ran it through some wood and i have to agree with the others, this little saw is impressive and is way better than my 201T was out of the box, while it doesn't have the power my 201 has that Brad modded this little saw deserves some respect for sure. If i had to pick between my modded 201 for $650 and this Echo for $430 i would save myself $220 and buy the Echo.

Jeff what chain are you guys running? The one on there now is pathetic
Not the one that came with it. Believe it or not, use the same chain you would use on a 200T,,except I went 16". Yellow.

Thanks i picked up a couple this morning. I used to use PMC until they quit making it and they came out with the PS3 but that doesn't come in 52dl. I guess Stihl is making PM chain again?? my dealer has it in stock.

Dump that chain and put on some Oregon 91VXL
I went with Stihl PM, because i can't use the PS3 on the Echo. That stock chain came off before the saw ever touched wood.

I wonder how the echo 355T would run after gutting the muffler and pulling out the carb limiters? I did that to my echo 330 and it really increased the power, By maybe 30%. The Boss told me specifically,"don't mess the the new 355T while its under warranty." But it's so tempting.

Hey Jeff wanna sell one of those 200s?
Why would I do that? What could happen that makes me say,"Hey, I need to sell saw",?
I suppose you are joking. :msp_tongue:
