What to do if my Echo Chainsaw engine cranks but doesn't start?
If your Echo Chainsaw engine cranks but is hard to start or doesn't start at all, it might be due to a clogged fuel strainer or fuel line. Try cleaning or replacing these parts. For carburetor issues, it's best to consult your Echo dealer.
Why does my Echo CS-360T engine run, but then dies or does not accelerate properly?
If your Echo Chainsaw engine runs but dies or doesn't accelerate properly, several factors could be at play. It could be normal wear, in which case cleaning or replacing parts might help. Contaminants or residues in the fuel can also cause this issue, so try replacing the fuel. Additionally, consider cleaning and adjusting components affected by normal wear, or replacing them if necessary. Vibration may also be a factor, so ensure everything is properly adjusted. If you've been operating in dirty or dusty conditions, cleaning the affected parts is a good idea.
