Thanks, Gary! I'm pretty tickled by the whole thing. Meeting Harold was a treat. Plus any out-of-warranty small engine work, I'd bring to him in a heartbeat! Or if the Detroit Diesel on my LCM goes out...he's got a lot of experience with those too! :lol: http://www.warboats.org/lcm-6.htm

Thanks for the encouragement and congratulations, guys. Ray, my Star Wars fanatic 13-year-old will love your reply! This purchase was definitely a case of things working out in bizarrely excellent ways. First, I had decided to buy the Echo 355T, which by all accounts is a heck of a value in a...

Let's hope so, Jed! Here's the saw I bought today, sitting in my immaculate and highly organized garage! ;) I think I'm going to call him "Rodney Allen," because he is indeed "rippy"! :/:

Thread title is pretty tongue in cheek, I promise! I agree, Cory and Samuel, folks seem pretty happy with the 2nd Gen. 201...I just can find a used one locally. In terms of what to look for: good throttle response, four strokes at WOT but settles in the cut, oiler works, chain tensioner...
