I've got an Echo SRM-2620T(converted to bike handles),three months past the 5 year warranty and it's falling apart.Still runs excellent,but it is not pro-quality in my opinion.I have the use of a Stihl FS-111(bike handles) every fall for a couple of weeks that belongs to a customer.He bought it...

Hi guys, I bought this trimmer 5 years ago,and as expected,it's 3 months over the warranty and it's falling apart.I converted this unit to bicycle handles because of a shoulder issue,and the left handle broke off yesterday.Cheap quality aluminum tubing,I guess. Previously, I...

The Echo unit you show won't work for my application,it has to be shaped like the Husqvarna part.There's a spring that fits around the outside. Thanks again for your help.Mike C.

The measurements you're showing in your last photo for the Stihl/Echo( which is the same part as in my photo),exactly match the size of the valve I need.I measured the associated parts in the tool to come up with those dimensions(5x4x10mm).So all I have to do is order part Husky 530026119 and...

Hi gentleman, I was wondering if anyone would have access to Husqvarna duckbill valve part no. 530026119 . I believe I can use this part to repair a tool I have that uses such a valve,but can't find the dimensions of it anywhere on line.This is used in many models of...

I bought the 2620T.I had an ongoing shoulder injury and decided,after a month, to convert it to handlebar configuration as I couldn't hold the thing up with my left arm after about 1/2 hour. It's a good machine,but I honestly think the high-torque gearbox is a gimmick.I had a 21cc Shindaiwa...

Ok.Another question.Are the "P" series Echos their (only?) magnesium chassis saws ?Are all the Echo homeowner saws clamshell design?

Well,after reading this,I guess I can assume that while the Echo "P" saws are the top-dogs from them,they truly aren't in the same class (build quality) of a Husqy XP or the Stihl 261.Surprises me that the Echo C-501p is only about $150 cheaper than the Stihl,but still has plastic parts that...

Hi guys, I wondering how the average person can tell which models of Echo saws are considered pro-grade vs. their home-owner saws? I've noticed that the dealers tend to call everything Echo sells "pro-grade".I'm kind of interested in getting a high quality saw in the 50cc class ,because I like...

Hi Ray, You've got me straightened out,now.I don't know what made me believe manual 4180 wasn't the right one.Getting goofy in my old age,I guess. Thank you for the additional service information and your time,sir.

Hi Ray, The manual I have is "Stihl series 4180 powerhead,Service Manual 2016-11. Is this correct for the FS-111?For some reason,I thought this was for the FS-110.Or is it applicable to both models? I want to try adjusting the carb on this FS-111.But strangely,the manual only...

Hi guys, Anyone have the service info for a Stihl FS-111 line trimmer/brushcutter? Thank you.

Thank you,Ray-appreciate it greatly.

Hi guys, I was wondering if anyone had service information,IPL,etc. for a Stihl FS111 brush cutter? A gent picked one of these up for me to do some brush cutting and it doesn't seem to be running very well.Local dealership has a loooong wait time for service and I'm running out...
