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

OEM RCJ7Y so I would do BPMR7A.
Heck I put a champion in my clone VM 2511 over ngk. Just been having bad luck with them.
Wish I could find Denso to fit my smaller plug saws ope.
German made Bosch was best plug ever for ope imo. But long gone are German made.

This was my Echo vs clone test. I've since gotten better at cutting with the clone - less chatter. I was talking with Scottie about that. I said I've learned a better touch with the clone - a bit more down pressure (not enough to stall). Scottie said reduces chatter by pushing down more nose first. I think we may be doing the same thing - just tilting the force a bit forward which acts like a shock absorber against the upward chatter.

I can attest to the reality that this little clown saw works just as well 45 feet up* a hemloc, hanging from my belt on a 4 foot rope tether, just as well as it does on the saw buck!
I did "reach the short end of my rope" trying for one more branch, but a quick flip of the tether cleared that.
Light as the saw is, cutting 20 or so limbs, with me supported by a linesman's belt and spikes is about all I can put together at one stretch. It was easy to know when it was time to spike down.
Lots of limb rounds for the evening fires on these autumn nights
Ground work went REAL FAST with that little fella!
* is that 45 feet AGL? ;-)

I went with the Champion plug, its easy to find in most hardware stores around me. The G2500 saw ran great out of the box, just some slight carb tweaks and it ran perfect for the first tank full of gas. I need to turn down the bar oiler, I noticed it was slinging an excessive amount of oil and it was dripping on my boots. Thanks for all your help and also for the Zenoah motor PDF.

Just had the little ripper out today. That Egan pipe is loud, I love it.
Need to sharpen the chain a bit, what is the best option for the .325 Nano setup?
Looking at the Oregon file set, seems the best option

It's just a 5/32 file. Nothing special to use, same as 3/8LP file.
You prob already have on hand if you owned 3/8LP saws before.

I've read contradictory info. Saying trh 3/8LP uses a 4mm and the .325 uses a 4.8mm file
You do what you want. If you believe those folks be my guest.
You do know this is called NANO 325 for a reason right. It is not normal cutter size of the regular 325.
But you should use what Oregon says to use for NANO 325 first. Then if you want something different with more hook then move up to the bigger regular 3/16 size file for regular size 325.
Everything right on Oregon site.
