I have used toro equipment since i was a child. I have never had a problem with them that my own stupidity didnt create.
This particular piece of equipment is cool because toro doesnt make them anymore and what i have seen so far is that alot of echo pieces are interchangeable the exhaust is similar with same bolt pattern. the walboro carb looks aftermarket. the plug is the same. the heads are the same the shaft is same length and the starter is interchangeable with an echo handheld blower not the weedeater starter.
I have cleaned the carb new plug and cleaned exhaust i cannot get it to fire unless I pour gas into the plug hole :/ I dont know where to go from here. maybe clean carb again? I have not checked fuel filter
