Hey folks, I purchased a new Echo CS501-P a while back and just got around to using it today to clear up some blow downs on my property. I don't even have the first can of Echo fuel through this thing and she was ripping when all of a sudden I went to rev her up for a cut ad the chain would spin. I shut it down to check out what may be wrong and as I was removing the cover screws noticed the cover was broke near the bottom. I continued and it turns out the problem was the chain wheel on the end of the bar. It was oiling fine. I worked it loose and put it back together ok but can't help but wonder what may have broke the cover. I can still adjust it and tighten it but this thing didn't make it through one little job. Anyone had an issue with these bars and clutch covers? I wonder if this part is warranted?
Thanks, Mike
