I went ahead and returned it and ordered a new one. That is a very bad sign on a brand new unit. I am just glad that it started within 30 days and not a couple months after my purchase. Who knows what else could have been wrong with it? I wasn't going to get stuck with a lemon.
I had a quick question about a noise I'm hearing on my brand new Echo PAS-225 trimmer. When I let off of the throttle I am hearing a noise that doesn't sound right. It is almost like a rattling sound, but it is hard to describe. I am posting a video of the trimmer. You can hear it as I let off...
