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

Dont ever grab a rear handle version. You will regret it.

Makes 50cc light weight saws feel heavy.

As used filled up, 12" nano set up.

I blame Jeephead for starting the thread Echo 2511t is an amazing saw
Echo 2511T is an amazing saw!
I made the mistake of going to my Echo dealer and holding one. A saw that cuts well with a 5.2 lb powerhead? I had to have one.
Then xyz123 posts a picture of his three 2511s! I didn't even know a person was allowed that much decadence. I already own 7 chainsaws, but having another 2511 would be fun.
He gave me the name of his dealer (who knows what he's doing) Log into Facebook
so I ordered one.
I figured I'll take a chance, it won't take much to have $99 worth of fun.

Clones are open port like stihl 200T is. But still great runners. Prob helps keep cost down that way. OEM is closed.

Carbs are smaller on clones with smaller air filter mount area and filter. Make sure they send you right air filters. I seen one clone company sending them out with wrong size oem filters neojunk I call that clone company. I tried buying from them once. Worst ever. About 10 years behind farmertec stuff.

I always grease around air filter fittings oem and clones on echo stuff.

Mix of oem and clone pics of folks in my group and me.

Is there a clone version of the rear handle 2511p or only the top handle?

There is but only sold overseas right now.

V-modest in my group said they are going to do a rear handle version for us FS here in states. That means others will follow.

Possibility around this fall. Crossing my fingers for that.
Will buy 2 more. 1 for me and 1 for dad.


Here is the clone rear handle sold in Ireland I believe it was.

Egan pipe only thing it needed. 28% gains on OEM

That other CNC muffler from west coast cant touch that. Be like modding the oem muffler then.

 

[xyz123]

OEM mufflers are so stuffed up.

Locals muffler he did.

He added extra exit opened other and removed the baffle with 3 small holes in it.

@JeepHead clone 2511 pulled down in my group for porting.

So you can see the open transfers like stihl 200T style.
