Echo CS-590 didn't pass a vacuum test!

I plug mine up when p&v testing and still spray it if I find a leak because I had one plug that wouldn't seal even if King Kong had tightened it down, took me a little while to find that one too. I take nothing for granted now. Then I do a final with the decomp on just to make sure it isnt leaking, and inspect the little bugger to make sure there is not carbon or something else that keeping it from doing its job.

I though this saw was awesome, never had any issues & a 5 year warranty???

I'm not gonna lie...your jealousy of a $399 homeowner saw makes me chuckle.

Well the saw started acting up a little again. And it wasn't until the saw was really hot. Idled fine for the longest time then start the lean, fine, lean, fine, lean, fine. Course...then it ran out of gas. haha Refilled and it was good. Issue is I don't know the L and H spec to set at. I have the Low at 2 turns out and the high at 1. Hate when they run fine for the longest time and then start acting up again. haha I will run it more tomorrow and see what happens...if it doesn't act up I am sending it home. And if it does come back with the same issue then the pos is gonna get replaced under warranty. lol

If it ran out just after acting up then i wonder if it was just all about that?

The 1st time is acted up was instantaneous. You'd let it idle for longer than a few seconds and it would act up. The 2nd time around after cleaning the decomp it ran for quite sometime before acting up, and I think this time is acted up because of low fuel.
