Ok guess I was wrong on that, I know that zama carbs are pretty popular on echo just apparently not that one. Isn’t the hda walbro the one homelite used to like using also?

Hate to say it but I’m sure the echo has a zama and so will the ms 311/391. Zama is actually a wholly owned subsidiary of Stihl and makes carbs for many brands. The carb plant in China also makes the bar oil pumps.

Personally I’d buy the 6 pack of oil for the 2 year warranty and get the lighter saw with better av but to each their own. Unless they truly have a defective part neither one will need the warranty weather it’s 1 year or 5. Well built pro saws just don’t fail for the average consumer that cuts a...

well the unfortunate thing is as time gos on newer generations that don’t seem to work on stuff as much as the older ones we’re looking for cheap tools to just have around. New ones are still lifetime warranty I believe and they are making certain lines in the us still if i recall correctly but...

The 311 isn’t in the same category as the echo build wise and i honestly wouldn’t buy the 311 anyway since the 391 is the same weight and has way more power. If your friend wants a Stihl the 261 or 362 will be more what he should be looking for. And i wouldn’t piss money away on a clone saw...

Hexa not going anywhere they want to push more of it in the USA. I actually find nothing wrong with it except for it being more expensive.

Unfortunately if he wanted the warranty he really had no choice but yes they could have called and said that it couldn’t leave without all oem stuff for a warranty

Just curious to what oil you were running? 4-mix engines like good oil, in fact that is why ultra came out because they had a rash of 4-mix go down under warranty with orange bottle. We have an early br 600 that still runs like a top but it’s always had a good oil ran in it. Dad used ultra...

I have the 72” grandberg I was running a single 090 on but will be running 2 066’s on from now on when needed. Honestly my singe 066 wirh 3/8” wirh a 56” bar on my 48” mill does better for cut speed than my 075 or 090 with .404 ever did. The .404 holds up better in dirty wood ect and streached...

Unless they showed you specifically that the warrant wasn’t reset per Stihls paperwork I’d say the dealership is full of it. I brought a couple things in for a tree service under warranty and they got fixed with full new warranty according to local dealer. It was 2 br 800’s he had issues with...

I never said they could or should deny the warranty, they didn’t but they can say it needs back oem for you to get a new warranty and it’s not part of the repair so it costs money. That’s the only thing I was getting at, now if they said no because of aftermarket parts for maintenance then the...

It applies to everything but they didn’t deny warranty just wouldn’t let the blower out with aftermarket parts and a new warranty. Which is stihls right to do if you want them to back up the new engine. Husky and echo would do the same, so basically if he would have spent 15-20$ more he would...

They did work on it without refusal, put in a new engine with warranty. Id imagine if he was willing to give up his warranty he may have been able to keep the aftermarket stuff on it but if he wants Stihl to give him a new warranty he needs the Stihl parts. Also a bad fuel filter could cause an...

Various photos 024 filter,024 super/026, ms 260 all have the clearance for 8mm carb nuts and all are oem filters. 260 uses the tab to hold cover on vs filter screws.

This is because the 260 filter has a tab on it for the cover vs using a spring loaded 1/4 tab that grabs a slot on the screws on the 024/026. They make a mesh 024 super/026 filter also that would work with the covers no trimming.
