Hey all,
Just got my new saw today, an Echo CS-370. Pretty much my only use for a saw is to do some limbing, cutting out shrubs, or cutting up a bit of firewood for my fire pit. I figured this saw would serve me better than the cheap "throw away" saws. If I would need a larger saw, my buddy has a Stihl MS461 with a 25" bar and I believe a 30" or 32" to go with it.
I also grabbed a bottle of Amsoil Saber 2 stroke oil to use to break it in. I'm definitely mixing it the normal 50:1 until well after it has some hours on it. As much as I like to tinker with things, I'll go through the typical break in period before gutting the cat from the muffler and tweaking the carb screws. Unfortunately for me, I won't even get a chance to fire it up for a couple days or so. And the price on this saw? How's free sound? Got my 20th anniversary award from work and the CS-370 was in the catalog. All I could say was, "MINE!"
