    No, figured I'd break it in a little first. Read about these saws having a cat convertor in the muffler? May take that out for starters and DP the muffler....lol

    I'd remove it just because if the heat issues.

    Sounds like it's a great buy! Glad it is treating you well!! :)

    Glad to hear that its doing that good. I'm in the market for another one. My little Echo shot craps, and the dealer said that they couldn't do nothing else for it. I'll be picking up the parts and seeing if I can maybe doing something with it. But otherwise, I might be going your route.. Thanks...

    Nice Scotty - I just saw an ad come up on CL here in NH for a new in box Echo 330t - guys asking $175 - I just offered to run over (next town over) and grab it if he'd take $150 - don't own a top handle and for that price and new in box, figured I can't go wrong - hope to message today that I own it! Cheers!

    Just heard back from the seller - he's happy with $150 - so, looks like I'll pick up the 330t tonight, unless some crazy CL scenario happens - which is always likely! Cheers!
