Yup, I guess now I can buy OEM filters in the future
I just bought an Echo 2511t clone for $99. What was I thinking?

g2511 I ordered during moment when it looked like supply of $99 was about out arrived. Wish I'd gone through Hockfire to check it over.
First off see gap in air filter element and there's some resistance to the air filter element coming off even after rotating it. So stopped before I break something.
Plastic flash on handle needs smoothing down. The plastic air filter clasp worries me from a durability viewpoint. The saw seems impressively light. Surprised at English manual that actually has some detail in it.
Right off, looks like I need an air filter element, but having not removed the element, not sure if I need OEM element or what?

Got it off. Note the general plastic flashing visible on parts like the area where the air cleaner cover attaches at the top.
The air filter element seems to have about an 18mm inlet.

So, does it fit the intake loose?

I guess I'm curious if you have an OEM filter size and small intake throat... Or if you got the smaller JonCutter filter

I got mine today after the post office lost it for about a week! Scott at Hockfire saws was great to deal with, refunded my money then the saw showed up the next day, I had to resend $$!
Anyhow seems like a nice unit (not started it yet). Very small and light, smaller and lighter than my little Dewalt 20v saw and I’m sure it will have more power. My Dewalt lives in a tool box on my tractor but I think it just lost its home!
Can’t wait to get it running and give it a try!

It isn't loose to my thinking
Going over the G2511 saw from Az this afternoon, the chain brake assembly was misassembled causing it to bind up, sharp plastic flashing in lots of places all over the saw, couldn't open air filter or spark plug covers without binding due to flashing that needed to be removed and the worse thing so far is the sparkplug is so tight I haven't been able to get it out.
Sorta on the fence whether to try to get the sparkplug out or to return it to Amazon.
