Hi, Ok, checked the muffler and no screen and no carbon. I'll get some good 2 stroke oil tomorrow, Stihl or Amsoil and try some fresh non ethanol mix?

Hi, Thanks, it's an Edger not a Saw but I guess it's all related. The compression is 90 and that is with a new ring as I said. The mix is 40:1 but admittedly is a little old, I'll make a fresher batch. The ports are clean and the muffler should be also, but will check again! Thanks! Ok, I...

Hi, Bought a "does not run" PE-225 edger for $5 and slapped a cheap Chi-Com carb on it and it ran for about a couple of month and then would not start again. Did the usual troubleshooting and found when I added a little mix to the cylinder it would pop off. I also think it might of had...

Hi, Found a ECHO PB-60 HT for a very good price. I know this is an older unit, but just going to use it only for my own yard. Can someone tell me what the "HT" stands for???

Hi, Thought I would relate something that happened lately. I finally got my wife to fire (sort of) the yard man. Sold a rifle and bought a new HONDA lawn mower. Now I needed a edger and weedeater. Almost fainted when I saw what the new ones cost! While at the ECHO dealer, talked to the...

Hi, Just ordered a Honda HRX 217 VKA and was wondering the best place to find a shop service manual. I plan to do my own maintance and repairs. A lot of good vids on the Internet but nothing takes the place of a good manual. Any help is appreciated!

Hi, I have a friend that runs a Lawn repair business and every now and then I get an orphan piece of machinery. He gave me a ECHO HC-150 as I need a trimmer and would rather rebuild one than just go out and buy it. This one has a scored cylinder and piston. Also a hole in the crankcase. I...

Hi, I came into 2 Echo string trimmers and decided to do a basic rebuild. The first was a SRM-140 curved pole trimmer. Rebuilt carb with kit. New fuel line w/filter. New spark plug. Trimmer started right up after rebuild tuned it and it is good to go. Next trimmer is a SRM-200 DA straight...
