I have a old gray echo edger. Starts first pull every time. I don't even know if I can move the choke lever. Been using it every day since I got for $40 two years ago.

Dang thats cool! When did they stop making the gray echos?

I think the grey echos ended either late '90s or very early 2000s. I bought my SRM2100 new in 1998 and as I remember it wasn't long until they weren't great anymore. The other echos I've procured since then are all grey of similar mid-90s vintage.

To the original poster: besides the 5 year warranty, the coil pack is Lifetime warranty. Just an FYI.

I can't complain about my Shin T235.

Didn't know about the coil pack being liftime. I was looking at stihl before I bought the echo. But the dealer had both an told me echo has the better weedeaters and stihl has better chainsaws. What made my mind up though is my dad bought a new echo 265 about 10 years ago and that thing still runs no problems. It's just to heavy for my fiancé to use it.

Ok you echo fans what do you think of this! I've got it down to 100$ he claims its 1 year old and less than 20 hours. My wife wants a light weight trimmer to use around the house. https://shreveport.craigslist.org/grd/5781550815.html



I would buy it. It will out last any new echo.
I run one but a edger starts first pull no choke or prime. Know a guy has one been running it for years. Trouble free.
