so I bought a ECHO CS-310,
from a dealer, not home depot.
When you get a brand new saw, what is your preferred engine break in procedure?
What are things you would not do?
Do you run a richer than 50:1 mix for the first tank?
kid ran the saw before I took it home, watched him to do it, it did get to full throttle but didn't sound right but I didn't say anything...
tried to cut with it the next day had zero power would not cut,
watched youtube, removed the carb needle restricters with a drywall screw, opened the high speed another 1/2 turn and got what sounds like power and expected run up to full throttle. Haven't cut anything with it yet. But the manner in which "we run the saw before we give it to you to take home" I did not like.
