OK thanks for the info! :thumbsup:
Got a question, What oil mixture are you using in that 2100?

Just 1 "can" of the Echo Power Blend for 1 gallon of gas...I hardly EVER use my 2100.
You said you noticed that when it is at "full-throttle", it sounds a lot more powerful and more "revved up" than my new SRM-225 at full power. If you are using a 50 to 1 mix and that thing seems more revved up it may be your running the wrong mix. Those older units ran something like a 30 to 1. You mite want to do some checking on the mixture, just sayin. Just for grins I'm going to see if I can find a manual for that thing.
Oh, OK. Here is a picture from another thread of the oil I use (just so you know)...http://www.lawnmowerforum.com/attac...352050206-new-echo-oil-red-armor-dscn1174-jpg
That's a 50 to 1 mix and that's OK for the new units but may not be for that 2100. I just looked up the manual for the 2100 and it said a 32 : 1 ratio with Echo oil or a 50 : 1 ratio with special oil approved by Echo. Now if that means there new oil, I don't know. View attachment 9885
You can look up the manual here: Operator Manuals, Safety Manuals, Parts Catalogs, Safety Videos | ECHO USA Just put GT 2100 in the Document search box.
I have an Echo GT-2100 that was purchased around 25 years ago. When I use it I noticed that when it is at "full-throttle", it sounds a lot more powerful and more "revved up" than my new SRM-225 at full power. Also, when it is idling the head does spin. So from what you said that means that the idle rpm is too high, and maybe that causes the "full-throttle" rpm to be too high also? Correct?
