I have a small Echo CS370 and it’s been a solid chainsaw. You could look around your local Facebook Marketplace or Craigslist for a used Echo CS310, CS 370, or CS400. They would be running 14”-18” bars on them, so they should work great for cutting up some pre split firewood. I haven’t run my...

If you’re going to be cutting a lot of 9g wire, what about a pair of mini bolt cutters or cable cutters? Knipex makes an 8” mini bolt cutter, and ChannelLock has aviation cutters that cut cable, spring hardened wire and mild steel rod. Just a couple examples...

I definitely haven’t used every brand, but I have the Channellock 369 9.5” linemen pliers and 8” 338 diagonal cutters. They’ve worked well enough and feel comfortable enough to me that I’ve never really given a thought to replacing them with another brand. L8R, Matt

Not sure if you’re on Facebook or not, but check out your local Marketplace if you are. There are Echo CS370 and CS400 saws local to me running between $75-$150. L8R, Matt

I use rubbing alcohol on my folding saw and knife blades to clean off the pine sap. Cutting dead pines to get the fatwood leaves quite a mess on the blades. Get the 90% rubbing alcohol. It melts/dissolves the pine sap pretty good. L8R, Matt

You can use Dirko, YamaBond, HondoBond HT, Permatex Motoseal, Loctite 518 flange sealer, etc…. Everyone has their favorite case sealer. I use HondaBond HT, but any of these should work for you just fine. Just remember prepping/cleaning the case halves first gets you the best results. L8R, Matt

So you think maybe one step hotter on the plug? I’m going by how I used to read plugs from when I was a kid running harescrambles on my old Penton Six Day Trials bike. Dad told me if the ground strap and insulator were the color of a shopping bag, and only two or three threads were dark, it was...

Saber and Red Armor are probably just about equal. But I can get a quart of Saber for about three bucks more than a pint of Red Armor. So double the amount of oil for an extra few bucks isn’t too bad. The last batch of fuel I mixed was with Husqvarna XP+ mixed at 40:1. Seems to be just a little...

I run either Amsoil Saber or Echo Red Armor mixed 40:1 always with ethanol free 90 octane gas. I use this same mix in my small Echo CS370, my three vintage/antique Lawn-Boy mowers, Husqvarna trimmer, Hitachi leaf blower, and Ariens snowblower. The pics are after running a few gallons of Red...

When you changed the muffler, did you notice if the exhaust port was clear or plugged? L8R, Matt

Amazon has the Oregon Power Match 24" bars for $50.18 with free shipping if you're a Prime member. L8R, Matt

Ok, the censor blocked out the abbreviation for. Outdoor Power Equipment??? Mmm-kaaaayyyy..... L8R, Matt

I don’t have this problem because besides our cars, every piece of OPE I have is 2 stroke powered. Everything from my new Husqvarna weed eater to my vintage Lawn Boys that I mow with every week. I mix Amsoil Saber at 45-50:1 and use that can for all of it. Plus I have probably 6 Marathon...

Yeah, I do need more. But my guitars and guns aren't too bad! L8R, Matt

I’m lucky enough to have at least 6 gas stations within a 30 minute drive of me that sells ethanol free fuel. The closest one is only 2.5 miles away. That’s all I run in all of my power equipment. If you’ve never checked this site out, see if you have anything near you. Pure-Gas.org L8R, Matt

Nice find! About the only deal better than that would have been free. L8R, Matt

As soon as my saw starts, I kick it down to idle and let it warm up a bit. Maybe 30 seconds to a minute. L8R, Matt

My one and only saw, an Echo CS-370. Good little saw that fires up every single time. L8R, Matt

You’re welcome. Always nice to have the correct tool for the job. L8R, Matt

Here’s a clutch tool for an Echo that looks like it would work just fine...
