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

Thank you for your response, I appreciate the information. I think I am going to keep it, the extra 1 pound in weight is a small compromise for a better air filter design and translucent fuel and chain oil tanks. Not sure what year the saw in your photos is, but they have changed a few things on their latest saw. The fuel tank assembly has a different shape and the break assembly cover is now a 2 piece design.

IMHO buy another to have for parts supply. 99 is cheap for any saw shipped.

My older one cost about 40 more then that way back. I would have to look for a old thread when it was.

Zenoah did a US version in husky too. But again parts just not out there. I tried for folks in past.

Found it in thread. Jan 2021 is when I got the older version.

Here is the husky zenoah version they had done for them.

I was under the impression parts for the 2511 were also hard to get, is that not the case?

Lot more then what you got going there on a 2500.

What dont work from OEM you buy a whole other saw once again.

Drums and some other smalls do work from OEM. Air filter base from OEM with air filter works too. Mufflers, tank vent and tank vent grommet etc etc.
OEM or even bigger clone carb like oem size works too on these clones.

I still wonder if the clutches swap on cranks or not. Never tried it from my OEM and clones ones to date.
