Post title says it all. I've searched this and other forums with puritanical zeal but haven't found an answer, so I figured I could ask.
My Stihl saws rattle. My pop's Husky rattles. My new Echo rattles. I know about the need for carb adjustment on Echos; I know lots of you dudes here hate Echos. I have run one tank of gas through my new echo, and it rattles. I can't tell if it's the sprocket bearings, the starter mechanism, chain brake parts, or what. I'm really curious what it is about one rattle that makes it DEATH, vs. another rattle that's perfectly normal. Maybe you dudes are savants and can hear galling? That would be pretty great -- teach me.
My impression is that this rattle is apocryphal, but my mind is open.
And, I'm new to posting but I've lurked for a while -- thanks a lot for the lots of info. on here, folks. I made a ringer out of a useless saw thanks to bsnelling's and others' thread about changing the carburetor on a little Stihl. That made my day.
Thanks.
