Which one or ones (g2511and g366 pro)?

I bought the top handle 2511.

I love running the top handle saws we use for emergency response (Stihl) This will be a great addition.

Also, selling my like new GreenWorks Pro 80v saw.

Still have my Echo CS-400 which I also love.

What are y’all doing for the sloppy fitting air filter on the 2511 clones?

xyz123 has figured our o-ring size for air filters.

If you read about sloppy air filters. It was probably the wrong size one put on it.

OEM size is bigger and when the mold broke the clone companies put the oem size on which is wrong for clone saws.


Why I showed all of this with the carb info in this thread earlier too.

I do this to my clone and also grease my oem one to stop any fines from getting by.

If you cant get your filters on OEM or clones to fit the way you like.
Always a way. I use oring. Others come up with other ways too.

Echo is bad about fines around air filter fittings. If you aint greasing a echo or lot stihls, you get fines by.

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.

I talked with that guy yesterday, price is $139 now, including shipping to SC. I wish it was $99.

Wait, you can buy the Jonsaw on Amazon?

BTW: Checked out my local Stihl dealer for a 661C w/36” light bar & chain.
Now up to $1,625.
Before tariffs, I was quoted $1,415 for same saw.

Yes, you can buy the Joncutter at Amazon but it’s $155 there

Does your guy in Ohio ship, to say Indiana?

Love to give him business, but not into a 9 hour round trip for a saw.

He quoted me $139 shipped to South Carolina yesterday
