I have an echo gt-225 and it bogs down when I try to trim grass with it, it does not matter if the grass is thick or not. It idles fairly good and the fuel is pretty good. It does have a Chinese Carburator in it but it used to work good until like a week ago and the problem started. Don’t know what’s wrong

Hi,
Open your H side needle valve about a quarter turn!

Also need the serial number as there are 13 versions of this unit to know exactly carburetor was used.

I like to see how the OP going to this with the EPA plugs in place on that rotary carburetor; unless, he has the 2.5mm extractor tool at hand.Hi,

As the last time Semimechanicman posted, in fact the only time he posted was May 6 he either got Covid & died, the eEcho got Covid & died or he bought a new one

If he contracted Covid and survied like I did, you can pretty much count on the fact that according to Fauci's CDC numbers, he died along with his family and friends!As the last time Semimechanicman posted, in fact the only time he posted was May 6 he either got Covid & died, the eEcho got Covid & died or he bought a new one

So you know the friends & families of the 600,000 Americans who supposedly died from Covid & can confirm that they all died from some thing else ?
If the truth be know the actual number would be well over 1,000,000 , it definately plots that way .
Now if you can count & graph ( don't have to be able to think ) , dig out the figures on total deaths for the last ten years and plot the individual causes as a percentage of total deaths.
Exclude covid from the graph and add in normal flu deaths, although they were supposedly down 90% because of people finally practicing proper hygine.
The left over unexplained for 2019-2020 can fairly safely be attributed to Covid.
Another way to do it is to plot deaths per year as a percentage of population
plot them on a graph .
Draw a curve of best fit up to 2018 then extend it through to 2020 maintaining the same slope / curve .
The difference between the trend to 2018 line at 2019 - 2020 and the actual for 2019 & 2020 again can be attributed to covid , unless you believe there was a mass murdered who snuck into to peoples houses and killed random people every night.
And no I am not saying that politicans do not massage the number to suit their political agendas , but raw death numbers per year not attributed to anything can not be fudged.
And the only thing killing a lot of people in 2019-2020 that was not killing people in 2018 was covid .
Just this morning the life expectancy for citizens of the USA was published.
1.25 years lower than 2018 and this is 5 times the rate it has been reducing since 1986.
And yes the USA is the only developed country that life expectancy in actually going down, although due to the large numbers of people dieing from Covid most of Europe will go down for 2019 & 2020.
But they were all going up .

Politicians massaging the numbers? The medical field + every Trump hating leftist in the Democrat infested media had plenty to do with the Covid 'death sentence' and it's inflated numbers.So you know the friends & families of the 600,000 Americans who supposedly died from Covid & can confirm that they all died from some thing else ?

Know what, I had a severe case Pneumonia. Even after 7 yrs I still have lung problems so yes I was willing to try to protect myself. But as for those that don't you all can risk having to live with results if you survive. If you die it is just one less JA I have to deal with.
Look I tired of every JA in Washington and other places preventing us getting anything done at all just because of politics. Right now our US government is completely non functional because this and has been for several years. At this rate the USA is going to H**l in a hand basket fast.
I can't even get a real person on the phone from the IRS which I need to contact about them sending me checks that I can't cash without committing forgery. And I dont want to go to jail and/or pay huge fine that I don't have so that would mean jail too. So if I don't get the promised stimulus checks I just have to quit sending them my tax payments. Then maybe the JA will get off their backsides and contact me but if keep sending mail in the wrong name they just keep getting it back.
Yes some people survive Covid without problems that don't mean everyone does. We are not all the same, some of us are not put together as well. Some are long haulers and some have nothing to worry about as they are dead. I got customers that had Covid and survived but some had relapses. The neighbor across the street has done pneumonia 3X since he recovered a year ago.
You are probably one those that like sitting meats out on store shelves so people like me get food poisoning because the store simply just put the spoiled meat back in the meat case. I done had food poisoning over 5x in the last 5 yrs because of this and have nearly died twice. Those that does are just too d*** lazy or just don't care about their own family members that might get the dame piece meat and die.
Just think (if that is possible) for a minute right now most the US cases are in the low vaccinated Republican states so all they are doing besides being stupid for not even trying to protect themselves and their families is eliminating another Republican voter as they die off giving the Democrats a better chance. So go ahead don't protect those you love if you even care. Personally I don't give a D*** as all my family is gone.

Terrorist radicalize the undecided & vunerable by slipping garbage in places where no one expects to see it.
It is called ambush marketing .
And while intelligent people read the rubbish & may initially discount for what it is, a peverse distortion of the truth, it stays in the back of their heads.
Then they see it again also some where unexpected and again some where unexpected and often times it will be conflaited with some thing that could be true.
Eventually the garbage gets adsorbed, gets tied to a true fact and becomes a truth that is being hidden from you so you can not believe anything but what the terrorist are telling your because they are strait shooters and every one else is out to get you .
Next minute you are walking into a mosque with an AK47 or running police cars off the road or bombing a synagogue or blowing up a government office and killing a lot of totally innocent people for your cause.
The really sick bit is the radicalizers are never the ones who commit the crimes , they convince others to do their dirty work for them , including spreading their perversions .
Conspiracy theorists / anti-vaxers , pseudo religions , etc, etc, etc. use the same ambush techniques to try & get their perverted messages into peoples heads .
Unlike some I went to the effort of doing the numbers for the USA , NZ, Aust, Brazil ( boy are they faked down ) , India ( also way understated ) , Germany & the UK.
Of course every government in the world could be part of the same conspiracy, millions all lieing in unison secretly emailing each other so the stories match and the only things you can believe is the twitter / face book postings of the one & only true guru telling the truth standing alone against the entire planet . Sound like a fairy tale , Bruce Willis movie etc ?
As for president Trumph I could not give a wrinkled rats rectum about what he said & did when he was the President and care even less now that he is not the President.
However it might be prudent to note that no State can indite a sitting President and now that he is not President any more he has prosecutions pending in New York & California .
So I can see a good reason why he would have done every thing that he could to stay in power to stave off pending fraud prosecutions .

Well put Bert.
But Bert you are never going get anything through to a Trump supporter, they are too hard headed to listen to anything other than tRump, Fox News, and the many far right socalled news channels. There are several tRump supporters in my area that is still trying to live in the past as they refuse to take down their 2020 signs some are like bill boards. I got one right down the road that send every penny of his extra money to Trump even though his home is falling apart because he now don't have the money to fix it because he thinks the billionaire tRump needs it more. He got tin on his roof that is held down by used tires because he can't even afford the screws or nails to fasten it down. No telling how it is on the inside of the home from the leaks. Just shows publicly how big of an idiot he is.
Just think about it. While is Trump telling all his supporters that they don't need the vaccine he got his and his wife in secret. So does cares about his supporters. No, just wants their money.

IT is always about the money
Any cause that posts with a donate or subscribe button is a money making business, not a true cause.
I did not post with the intention of changing CMB1's mind.
It is obviously very firmly made up and probably totally closed.
It was posted for the benefit of others to make them aware of what CMB1 is trying to do and how radicalization works.
Once you are aware of ambush marketing it is a lot easier to identify it then put it in the total BS section of your mind so you do actually ignore it and not store it.
CMB1 is entitled to have his belief's as is every one else and I am very happy for him to feel like he does if it gives him some sort of comfort.
Every one has the right to believe what ever they want to and I for one do not have the rights to condem him for his belief's nor have any obligation to try to force him to change his mind.
That is what tyrants do .
One of Einstein's quotes that gets totally ignored now days goes along the lines of
"the only way to prove you really have a mind is to change it in light of overwhelming evidence that you were not fully correct "
One of the biggest problems of modern governance is the media's ability to instantly pull up quotes from 50 years ago when your opinions were not as well informed as they are now then accuse you of being a hypocrite as if what you thought is set in concrete from day one and never allowed to change .
The other big problem is AI funnelling every one with the same opinions into a self feeding group so every thing you read confirms your opinion and not challenge it .
A good parent will teach their children to read
Better parents teach their children to question what they read .
The fundamental building block of science
If it can't be regularly proven by any one it can not be considered to be absolute truth.
And truth is no more than the best description derived from the information available at the time so is always subject to change .

All I can say is that at least I learn early in life to admit when I was wrong and to ask for help when needed instead of just saying "I don't know" to say "I don't know but I find out the answer". Even today I never fully trust anything posted, written, or verbally said without checking into myself to prove it by verification. I have no problem admitting I am wrong if someone can prove it. I also can change too base on what I have learned. Having a closed mind just get you in trouble.
Of course there are still people that thinks the Earth is flat . Many of those think there is a new sun everyday too to justify their thinking as they cant explain how it gets back to the East every morning.
Opinions are just that opinions. Facts are facts. Even if I don't like the answer that doesn't change a fact. As you said even things we believe to be fact is subject change as more accurate information becomes available. In case of equipment improvements are constantly being made base on what has learned over time.
I have seen things that others said was impossible to happen. When I get in some to repair that acting very unusual I have to make sure that I get as much information about including if there is particular way it get to repeat it. Years ago I was working on Victor 600 series calculators that my customers started reporting they were adding wrong. The OEM techs said it was impossible so I had come up with a number sequence to prove the problem that I actual seen too. Once I had a repeatable operation I proceed to work with the OEM techs having them to enter the same sequence of steps (over the phone of course). They then were able to prove it to their engineers which finally admitted there were a problem. Boy I didn't like changing a hundred CPU chips but that what it took to fix the problem.
Something else almost everyone thinks is true is that one plus one is always two but isn't true when it comes biological things. It can be two or more; just depends on the results. Just something to think about as there are those will argue with a sign post with not a letter on it.
Oh well off to the Salt mine this morning. I got to test a recent repair to make sure it isn't losing oil pressure below sensor trigger point so I am mowing my yard with it. I still think a 20 hp V twin on a mower with 54" deck is too small for what I cutting this morning but that is just my opinion. I got it wired to kill the ignition if it does. The customer trusted the idiot light which is burned out so ran the engine with no oil. Then I got a chainsaw to repair that I punched hole in the piston using a piston stop...Isn't fun to break things while trying to find what is wrong with it? It turned I got a sticky oil pump pinion gear but the repairs are more in-depth now as full disassembly is required. A 30 min job now over a half day job.

So please carry on with you dellusion if it makes you feel good.
Please do not get vaccinated and hang around with as many unvacinated like minded people as you can find.
With a bit of luck you will prove Darwin was wrong but you will be the first person to do it .
And if you prove Darwin correct I doubt you will be missed .
I have just had my first AZ jab so you are no threat to my health.

The federal government has a full count of people who die on their site. it is lower than the previous year. Media made the virus bigger than it really was. (CNN was caught admitting just that) That's all i am pointing out. So I guess I am part of the conspiracy.
I could go on further on false statements posted here but this IS a family site.
ps. i got the shots.

We are currently in lockdown due to a total failure of the transport department to properly supervise the movement of air crew through Mascot airport.
6 dead to date and another 6 weeks to run minimum.
My gate is locked and it does not get unlocked unless the person on the other side is masked .

What do you expect there are fewer of us than there were last year. But probably about 100 - 200 get killed each week by guns. then you got accidents and all the other causes too. We are really thinning out the herd so of course there will few deaths reported.
One thing you got to remember the year is over yet. We got 5 more months to go.

The media's job is to fuel anxiety & depression in the community.
This is because the human mind is most open to suggestion in an anxious or depressed state which means the viewers will adsorb the bull the advertisers are pushing .
Rates are set by the number of viewers / listeners / web hits etc
Thus just about all media will sensationalize everything to suck you in
And this is before the editorial bias of the editors & owners
So if 10 people quote 10 different numbers they always push the worst case .
Fact checking is a thing of the past .
The road toll down here is 1/3 of what it was 2 years ago primarily because there is almost no traffic.
Flu & phenomena cases are 1/5 of the average because people are wearing masks, sanitizing and mainly not shoving a handful of Codral down there gobs & going to work spreading flu to every one they pass.
You are the one who is spreading the conspiracy theories so it is up to you to prove the conspiracy.
I tend to believe the numbers +/- a little because I understand science & statistics and how they can get massarged
But you can not massarge holes in the ground with bodies in them
Space aliens ? mass shooters that the NRA kept under wraps ? Mexican death squads ?

Fact checking is a thing of the past .
The road toll down here is 1/3 of what it was 2 years ago primarily because there is almost no traffic.
Flu & phenomena cases are 1/5 of the average because people are wearing masks, sanitizing and mainly not shoving a handful of Codral down there gobs & going to work spreading flu to every one they pass.
You are the one who is spreading the conspiracy theories so it is up to you to prove the conspiracy.
I tend to believe the numbers +/- a little because I understand science & statistics and how they can get massarged
But you can not massarge holes in the ground with bodies in them
Space aliens ? mass shooters that the NRA kept under wraps ? Mexican death squads ?

I haven't been burying my kids I just let the wild animals carry off the bones after vulture pick them clean. But that usually after I BBQ them and pick over the bones first. Really good with BBQ sauce.

When people get their hopes up with any politician, they tend to overlook too many things. It's been my experience that a politician will always let you down. And it won't be from mistakes. Funny thing about the left or the right. If you're a R, and you have a lot of supporters, you can do things that only a D would do, and get away with it.
Say like the debt ceiling that Trump and Pelosi did away with for 2 years, Republicans didn't bat an eye. For 2 years, Trump, Pelosi and McConnell spent money faster than the Fed could print it. Now that the 2 years have passed and we actually have a debt ceiling again, republicans are all up in arms about it.
Had a democrat president tried to eliminate the debt ceiling for two years, the R's would've been screaming "We can't afford it." Just as they're screaming now.
As a conservative, I believe government should be so small that it's barely noticed. And the court system should be fair & honest so that it's equal to the defendants and the plaintiffs. With no ones ability to sway a congressman, senator, judge or prosecutor with money or gifts.
This could keep socialism and fascism at bay, at the same time. But that's a pipe dream. And no one cares because the system we have, is the one that the R & D's have designed. And as long as we keep voting in the same 2 party's to run the government, those who run the government will always be in control of everything tied to the US dollar. Which is just about everything.
BTW, I'm on this thread looking for info on a GT-225 recoil spring. Wind it in the case first, right?
Wait. Scratch that. I'm overthinking this recoil assembly.
Man, if you don't do this stuff for a few minutes, there are simple things you forget.

Well put Bert.
But Bert you are never going get anything through to a Trump supporter, they are too hard headed to listen to anything other than tRump, Fox News, and the many far right socalled news channels. There are several tRump supporters in my area that is still trying to live in the past as they refuse to take down their 2020 signs some are like bill boards. I got one right down the road that send every penny of his extra money to Trump even though his home is falling apart because he now don't have the money to fix it because he thinks the billionaire tRump needs it more. He got tin on his roof that is held down by used tires because he can't even afford the screws or nails to fasten it down. No telling how it is on the inside of the home from the leaks. Just shows publicly how big of an idiot he is.
Just think about it. While is Trump telling all his supporters that they don't need the vaccine he got his and his wife in secret. So does cares about his supporters. No, just wants their money.

I stream everything now a days, so I get different commercials.
There's one where a guy is trying to get convenient stores that sell vapor cigarettes. His sales pitch is not for nicotine injected vapes. But only the "anxiety and depression" side effects of it. LMAO. He tells the one clerk, "My vapes do the same thing as the e cigs. I'm just being honest with the marketing.?
The look on the clerks face is priceless.
So instead of the morning news, now a days, I've found a channel that plays all the old cartoons I used to watch as a kid. I gotta admit, they were very violent. But it's better than watching the news.

The media's job is to fuel anxiety & depression in the community.

The upside, less traffic. Easier to get tickets to stuff, fewer parts backlogs. lol

What do you expect there are fewer of us than there were last year. But probably about 100 - 200 get killed each week by guns. then you got accidents and all the other causes too. We are really thinning out the herd so of course there will few deaths reported.
One thing you got to remember the year is over yet. We got 5 more months to go.
