Hi, I picked up a cheap Echo with a steel cutting disc fitted. I was thinking of fixing it up,& wondered if this beast is worthy of the time & $$ required to fix it. Do you blokes think these are a good machine? First issue is the pull start...it gives no resistance at all. What should I be looking for here? The cord is good,but just feels "disconnected". My usual trick would be to just start pulling it apart...but that generally gets me in trouble.Best to ask first. I'll get a few pics tomorrow.. Any other tips & opinions are appreciated. Jim
