    As long as you keep to one manufacturer you will be fine.

    From what I've seen manufacturers make their splined shafts differently so that most won't interchange...hardly surprising that one! what are you trying to achieve ?

    Have a good engine unit of unknown origin, labelled M330 only, looking for something to put on the end of the shaft

    If it isn't labelled with a brand such as Stihl, Echo, Husquvana etc. it's probably a Chinese cheapie. Likely to have very high vibrations and not last long.

    Worth a trip to a dealer, I guess, in case something does fit it, but I'd be tempted not to invest too much money in tools for it.

    Sounds like a Chinese Echo clone from Yuxain brand( think thats how you spell it). You will probably toil to get the tools for it, but may be worth a web search.

    Is it likely then that echo spares would fit?

    Cant say ive never tried to hybrid one. Can only suggest you find a second hand echo tool and try it. Your local repair shop might have an old tool bit lying around. I have rakes of old kit lying in my unit all needing repaired so im going to see if I can get one or two working machines out the lot

    I have a chinese clone engine, it does fit all echo PAS tool attachments - that said they rattle like hell.
    They tend to all be exact copies of Early 2000's echo tools and have quite high vibrations. If you get cheap bits for it, wear it out, otherwise bin it.
