I wouldn't be afraid of an Echo saw. The luck I've had with my Echo trimmer is nothing short of astounding. Part of that is using Amsoil Sabre two stroke oil, but still....Over 10 years with ZERO maintenance? Yes, you read that right, it did that and still runs like a top. No telling how many hours are on the thing as I use it for edging and trimming both.
I kid you not I don't run the tank dry, or even top it off for winter storage. It just sets in the shed dirty until spring. And fires right up. Last spring the primer bulb finally gave up the ghost so I did a full tune up. Air filter, fuel filter and plug. I pulled the spark arrester screen too and it didn't even need cleaned. Bought from Home Depot. Color me impressed with Echo's two stroke stuff.
