I have a ECHO -370cs chain saw that is about 4 maybe 5 years old, used around the property to cut and clear brush, small trees etc., nothing major. this is the first year I have had any trouble with it, seems that when it gets into a cut over about 5 inches or so it just quits, engine stays running by saw will nt drive the chain. I put a new air filter, gas filter, bar and chain on it, can verify that the chain will turn by hand and it is not too tight, also I can verify that the chain bar oiler is working. Tried it again today and while cutting a 9 inch pine log it just stopped again, engine did not shut off but chain quit turning, I did notice a little bit of blue smoke that came out of bottom of saw. I looked online for some ideas but before I go and do anything I thought I would ask for some help and get some ideas on what to do, I will appreciate any help I can get, thanks, Mike
