    New Echo 361P. Ran great first time I used it. I thought I flooded it last time I used it when I tried starting it after a break. So it's been sitting for several days. Will not start. Pulled plug. Dry as a bone. Not getting gas? Any suggestions?

    Is it still under warranty?
    See if it will run with a prime.

    I have both caps off. Tanks drained and its up side down over a basket letting it drain. How do I get bar and chain oil out of gas line? Will it drain out with time?

    They are in a different spot than on my CS-680. I was apparently in a hurry.:faint:I don't know how to get the oil out of there.

    I was wondering if I put gas in the gas tank if it might make its way through the oil. ? I'm going to let it sit upside down for a few hours now and go cut with the 680.

    Put gas mix in it & keep pumping the primer bulb till your thumb hurts then dump that & do it again maybe. never been there done that, but that might work. Good luck !

    Maybe some gas in the correct tank, sloshed around, then dumped?
    Well, pappy beat me to it.

    Here is what I just did. I thought about if the cap to the gas is off and everything is drained out, if I push the primer bulb it should force the oil back into the gas tank. So I pushed it several times and sure enough the bulb is now empty. I will let it sit upside down for a while and let drain more now. Time to go cutting!:saw::saw:

    It might smoke a bit when you first start it.

    I wondered why the primer bulb was hard to push. ? Then I took a little closer look :binoculars:and said to myself. "Self, that is some pretty dark looking gas in there. Uh. Oh." :picard:
