That's one thing I've noticed about my new Echo, it really seems like a step back in time. Yet as much as I hate to admit it, if you putSo far, I like my Echo saw. But man, that stupid choke. Is the saw hot or cold, will it start with or without? It's 2019. Is that the best you can do? I mean, don't get me wrong, It's no different from any other stupid two stroke saw!
my $500 (now deceased) Husqvarna 545,
my $400 Echo 590,
and my $100 Poulan- which set forgotten in my shed for a year and a half-
side by side and tried to start each; the Poulan always starts first or second pull while the Echo takes several pulls, and the Husky always had me praying that it would start before I lost my temper and ran it over with the tractor.
