don't use carb cleaner to start a 2cycle it washes the oil off of cylinder use a small syringe and 2 cycle mix

Where did you get the parts and numbers

Better off using a drill to start it

Muffler screen stoped up

Had this problem before. Usually mud dobbers filling up the exhaust holes.

Filter should of went on the smaller diameter line and wider diameter line is the return line. With the retainer white piece on the end.

Easy to plug with debris, easy to clean. A lot like the old tecumseh carbs with the hole in the bowl bolt.

This is the first time I've seen this explained. Very clear and easy to follow. Well done sir.

I have changed the vent on my echo several times and it still does not work. Why is my vent working?

Thank you. I’m glad you liked the video.

Customer should be happy. Enjoyed the video.

The thumbnail is not the best but the explanation is good.

Will be doing this on my Murray trimmer tomorrow...

Good ❤❤❤🎉🎉

Just wondered if you smoothed out some of the damage to the cylinder head. My concern would be sharp edges causing hot spots and preignition.

Did you torque the rotor bolt, you said that you were waiting for the torque value.

common problem on redmax i keep the little springs clips and paws on hand ..i broke flywheel with claw puller first time.. been using a flat air chisel on end of the crank shaft since then ..your puller might be better on the crank seals ..but so far i have not had a problem

I was just bragging on my echo gt200r now for some reason my air filter is getting gas or oil on it iam using red armor echo2 cycle oil and filter is getting a little red . Any idea what causes this we would definitely appreciate your advice Thanks

I was lucky to have a donor same model a friend gave me I used the clutch also used pull start still a lot of spare parts thanks for your reply we will be watching for more great videos Thanks

I have the same trimmer I bought new in2006 still working though the years I changed clutch carb and drive cable that’s about all in18 years thanks for the video

Wow! I remember putting a crank in a Honda Super 90 (1965?). Got I back together without the tools you have, with a few extra parts left over. It actually ran! Couldn’t do it today. Great video explanation.

I never saw you prime the engine before pulling the start 25 times. Might have helped.

Wow, that was some good trouble shooting there. Thanks for the video.

I have a Homelite chainsaw that for love or money won’t start. Has fire. Has compression. 2 different carbs. Gave up. So now I’m going to pull it back out to check the coil. Thanks Mike

Where can you buy a rebuild gasket kit

Another shoulder buster.

Mantis tillers have the same kind of manifold block that your string trimmer has where the bolts are captured in the block and they can move around. I think Mantis tillers are made by Echo. I went back to watch this again because I’m trying to get a Ryobi trimmer running that has the same type carb. Nice video. Going to try again, thanks.

You completely walked me through what I blindly had to do 9 years ago <shudder>. I'm having another fist-fight with the GT200R. Thank you for your guidance!!!

great vid, i found those carbs come from factory running lean. the idle jet , i resize it to next bigger size.

Nice video Mike. I have that same blower hanging down in my basement for at least 20 years. I think it’s time for the trash. I hate to give up on a project though.

I have the same one, its basically a troybilt. its on its 7th season and still going strong. only had to replace throttle cable a few years ago and bump knob retainer twice. I always use ethanol free fuel mixed with full synthetic 2 cycle oil and in off season store without gas.

Thanks helped me out alot...I thought they were hard to do but nope not at all😊

Time to get mine working now. Thanks

It’s the same as the craftsman B2000 blower and easy to fix if cly is ok😊

I like your methods. great info thanks from NJ

Nice tip on the grease on the lever spring. I seem to always have a problem getting it on without multiple tries. Thanks

good video

I have sausage fingers so I put a small dab of grease into the spring pocket to keep the spring in place. This makes it a lot easier when putting the metering lever assembly and hinge pin in place without worrying about the spring going flying or falling over. The grease just dissolves in fuel and has never caused me an issue.

Chain not a blade lol and chain came off the bar not chain off the blade lol just messing with you great video

I learn something every time I watch. Thanks

Thanks for the feedback and I’m glad you enjoyed the video.

Nice explanation of carb basics. Learn something new each time I watch. Thanks

A microphone closer to your mouth would be a significant improvement to your videos.

Good job!

First thing I do is remove muffler and look at piston 😊

People ask to much for the old equipment in Texas and they have no idea how much it costs for parts and labor to fix them, I enjoy fixing them but not putting big money in old stuff 😢

Again, nice video with good explanation of process.

Thanks for posting. I like how you explain what you’re working on. Keep up the good work!

Looks like you fixed it, sounds good too.

Awesome trimmer repairing video, very informative. Do you plan to do another repairing video of out door power equipment? Hipa supplies small engine parts and maybe we can collaborate to share more tips on small engine repairing and help more DIY repairers?
