hi all , purchased back in 85 , used it for personal use several times a year to cut logs for splitting firewood , maybe 8 years or so ... later didn't cut up as much firewood because less access to the logs , then later yet didn't cut any after moving (no fire box) ... other than that I've only used it occassionally helping friends clear a tree now and then ... so how much time on saw ?? , I don't know but it still cleans up good and I think plenty work left in it ...
I put it back in use about 4-5 years ago clearing on the new place we moved to ... was hard time staring but ran great after started , but still hard starting after shut off and restart , pita ... decided it deserved a professional look see and tlc from the local authorized Echo service center because it was becoming a senior citizen now like me ... what a rip-off ...
need to call it into service again now , more clearing on property ... this time it was REALLY hard getting it started , but after 20 - 30 minutes of trying (yes , fresh fuel/oil mix) it fired right up and ran perfect ... ran it for maybe 20 minutes then turned it off ... tried to start it again but same old **** , so I quit ... finishing going over everything I can think of on the saw now ... I think it's problem is in the H.T wire (I can make a new one) , or the on-off switch ...
what do you guys think ??
