Would it not go through the plastic engine cover housing? This is a FILTHY edger on FB marketplace. Might buy it. Guy is asking 40 bucks...... Any other tips on this machine? slomo

I went to my local ECHO Dealer and bought 2 edgers and 2 weedeaters for $25. (from the scrap bin) I got 3 machines running but all of them needed new carbs, fuel lines, ect. Here is a pic of my PE-200 ( one of the machines I bought) to answer your throttle question. They are nice edgers but only a machine and reflect how they are treated!!!
