It’s marked on the body of the saw above the access holes.Thank you. Very helpful post. Much better than someone else just posting you better learn how to do it. Which screw is high, which one is low?

What good is a 5 year warranty if you have to void the warranty to get a year out of the saw? Evidently a scored piston automatically means bad fuel?
A "dealer" would have tuned it properly before passing it to the customer. From Home Depot, you take the box off the shelf, pay for it, unbox it, fuel it up, and let it rip.Wow, this is a very sad and pathetic customer relation story on echo’s behalf.
A guy buys and uses their product under the directions of the manual, it blows up and they claim it was ‘bad gas’ and it’s not thier problem.
Unbelievable!
What a cop out, a terrible excuse to save company money.
What’s next? Your chain wasn’t sharp enough do warranty is void?
Saw dust was found around the flywheel thus it overheated?
How about you took out the spark arrester and that’s a modification and no warranty.
Oh wait we just noticed that your saw wasn’t tuned right and you should have known this and it’s not under warranty...
Really???? Isn’t that the dealer and or echos job, a lot of people really only know what the manual tells them and they can’t be blamed for anything beyond it!

This is a question that should be answered. I've yet to have an echo on the bench to get to try, but if I wasn't "saw savvy" and relied on a dealer for all service I would be hesitant to go get one after reading this thread. Unless i had a dealer i could trust.What good is a 5 year warranty if you have to void the warranty to get a year out of the saw? Evidently a scored piston automatically means bad fuel?

I have a feeling that this is not a new problem. One of my local Echo dealers has a sign on their door "We will not service any equipment purchased from a big box store".
Don't blame Echo for the factory lean tuning. Thank the militant environuts who pressured the EPA to impose these ridiculous regulations - on something that neither the EPA nor the environuts know anything about.

A saw that requires 50/1 fuel mix will run hotter and leaner if you use 32/1 mix??? I've never heard that, isn't it the other way around?but tuned for a 50 to 1, and if you used let’s say 32 to 1, saw will run hotter and leaner and can score a piston if not re tuned for the different mix.
Less gas in the mix/air=more lean. Often confused with oil to gas in the pre-mix. A lean fuel to air mix will burn hotter.A saw that requires 50/1 fuel mix will run hotter and leaner if you use 32/1 mix??? I've never heard that, isn't it the other way around?

Well I must admit this is a new unheard of concept to me. If this is true, why do so many reccomend breaking in a new 50/1 engine with 40/1 mix? And isn't leanness controlled by the air/fuel mixture screw? 14 parts air to 1 part gas + oil is optimum in any 2 cycle engine. But the gas to oil ratios are determined by engine tollerances.Less gas in the mix/air=more lean. Often confused with oil to gas in the pre-mix. A lean fuel to air mix will burn hotter.
