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

Got my G2511 put together and cut up a trailer of wood this weekend. It worked well. Does anyone know if the echo air filters are compatible? The filter that came on mine is poor quality and has a few larger holes in it and I would like to replace it. I can't even find Farmertec filters online.

Took the G2511 to farm this morning. Was using pole saw to drop over hanging limbs so I could get tractor and bush hog under trees. Used the 2511 to chop limbs into smaller pieces for easier handling. Saw did great for this, most cuts in 4" or smaller limbs. Had adjusted oiler because it was full open when I received it. Min. is 12'oclock on screw head so turned it to 11:00. When started sputtering for gas, filled gas tank and still had about an ounce of oil left. That seems good to me. This saw is just so handy and for $99 one of the best bargains I have ever purchased.

Yep I make sure all my oilers are turned all the way up. Long as not using more then 1 to 1 on tank of fuel no biggie.

3/4 to 1 on bigger stuff even when all the way up.

Bar oil is cheap.

I hate when a oiler is stingy oiling myself. Thats when time to clean fines etc and recheck pump.

Yeah the oilers on the clones seem to oil plenty on low

If I want to purchase a replacement air "screen" for this little clown G 2511, where do I go? Hockfire, where the unit was purchased?

V-Modest has one on ebay right now, I have a few in stock and I will have parts list for the JonCutter hopefully soon and I will stock up on more. Best thing to do now is just be careful with the one you have. I clean mine by popping it apart and blowing from inside out with gentle compressed air. Brake cleaner doesn't seem to hurt them.
