I just bought an Echo 2511t clone for $99. What was I thinking?

Did you know you can use the handle on the pull cord to aid with leverage to help loosen the caps:

That method only fits my fuel cap. No problem with just using my finger and thumb for fuel cap. The oil cap cannot be unscrewed without some kind of tool in slot. Tighten oil cap finger tight when I fill oil and cannot break it loose next fill

All these cap troubles….
I don’t have any

It is a strange phenomena that happens with the caps becoming tighter after you run the saw. I initially thought it was I was trying to unscrew when the saw was warm, but not so even after letting the saw cool for day or so the caps are much tighter than when they were hand tight.

The only positive I guess is they don't get looser and you start leaking fuel or oil!

So what did you think of the Nano 325 043 in the cut compared to the 3/8LP 050.

Only one smoother is the 1/4" mini micro 043 but it is slow in cuts. But great for pruning limbs on fruit trees.

IMHO Nano best all around on the 25cc saws.

Dont like it on my 35cc top handle though. I tired it and was smoother but slower on it compared to my 63PS set ups. 25cc saws seems to be it's niche

I love it... Completely eliminated the chatter, and the saw won't bind up in the cut. Cuts very reasonably fast. It's perfect for the saw IMHO

Just added a 4th saw to my order for a friend!

 

[Carl_NH]

Yes - they make great Christmas gifts!

Well, FINALLY

A pair of saws shipped August 27th finally got here!
Pony Express speed, Logan, Ohio to Alexandria, Va.

 

[thclimer]

Get those things unboxed and put them to use!

Hi again! I got tracking numbers that say the next shipment of JonCutter 2511 will be here the 25th! These are the ones that will have the full works and shipping for $99 (plus tax in Ohio ). I have some orders to fill and about a dozen up for grabs.

I sent you a PM before I saw this. Sign me up for one also please! My info is in the PM. Greg

And aren't you lucky! I've found the same problem with my Greenworks Pro battery saw! The oil fill is a flip cap and it always takes a pair of pliers to loosen - always just finger tightened upon fill. It's a PITA for sure - yet I do like everything else about that saw!

Yeah I don’t know, I just flip it up and turn it open. They work perfectly. Must be a Stihl thing?

Never a issue with husqvarna flip caps here either.

Plus they sell a bunch of them for other makes of saws too.

They were thinking way ahead on that and raking in the money on extra sells IMHO.

I have the same problem with my Greenworks 60 volt battery saw have to use pliers or wrench to get flip top cap loose even though I just finger tighten it. My Greenworks 48 volt 14 inch chainsaw , same looking flip top bar oil cap which I just got in July I can get it off without using pliers

A rather large maple tree got pissed off and kicked out a rather large branch last night about 1 A.M.
The branch grazed the nearby power line and popped a link on the transformer that shut down power to the house. Quite a crash BANG and crush, woke us right up!

Power company came out and did the reset with electricity restored by 2 A.M

I'm putting this little clown saw to the test tomorrow.

remind me to takes pictures. It's likely a weeks worth of "shoulder season heat"

Man if as big as some of mine that come out over the years. I hope you got more then the clown 25cc saw.

Well, not so much as your job, but a garden wagon full.

All split and stacked now.

The little clown did fine, but called out to some bigger brothers from time to time.

eremats, I'm glad that I'm not the only one with this annoyance problem! Thought for sure it was just me.
