perhaps the plugs dont go bad on their own but they can be mistreated by the rest of the engine and become emotional and ineffective? :)

My last truck engine would disagree with that. it killed three plugs in a row in the same cylinder in 2 or so weeks. frazzled the metal bit at the tip and covered it with carbon or some other such gunk. But since I arent a mechanic, I shall not argue too loudly.

possibly, that was the cheapest part tho and I havent changed it in the 4 or 5 years I have had the saw. I will have to see what the old plug looks like when it comes out. :) Was Mike against changing plugs? I forget.

it is premium gas. I pulled the spark arrestor out when I bought it, if that makes a difference. I dunno if its carb limiters, I havent adjusted anything, yet.

A new plug I can do. I have never adjusted the settings on a 2 stroke engine, my hedgers, chainsaws etc. Whats the laymans quick lesson?

:P I said other than buying a new saw, witnit. As an afterthought it would have been smarter I think to spend the $500ish on a 200T originally instead of the $350 on the Echo. ;)

ok, I have an Echo CS330 top handle, it runs fine when it gets going but it takes FOREVER to warm up. I used it today. 10 pulls to get it idling, then after about 3 minutes of idling at low RPM I touched the gas trigger and it bogged out and stalled promptly. After starting and doing the same...
