This simple fix restored my srm-225 back to having full power. I’m happy I never threw away any of my other weed eaters away because a clogged spark arrestor screen is the problem with all of them. When the tool loses power it’s cutting is dramatically affected. It just can’t do the job. Once the spark arrestor screen was cleaned up the power and cutting ability returned to like new.Thanks for the tips and tricks in this video! Your the man!
@@in4chandru I live in the hills in California with five homes near by that are all worth a couple million dollars. I can’t operate the tool without its spark arrestor screen but thanks for the idea
The other videos I watched on this subject everyone used a torch and burned the residue off this screen. That is the way I’ve done it since I’ve learned about this regular maintenance on the exhaust system. The crap on the screen burned of . I hit it with a wire brush. And it was so clean it looked brand new when I finshed. I’m just passing this info along

@@gregstarnes8946 sounds good!
I've had good luck with a propane torch, just burning the build up off the screen and them blow off the ash with shop air. Clean as new.
Idk why I never thought of that that is a really good idea !
Precisely what I do...just wanted to say hello and wish you Happy New Year!

Had excellent results by leaving it out , runs as good as a deleted diesel truck
I do the same thing with mine. The diesels can't run right with all that DEF crap. Just don't get caught. 😂😂
The first thing I do when buying 2 stroke equipment is remove those screens 😎
I do the same thing. Even with the chainsaws.
My 225 spitting oil out of the exhaust. Probably same fix
Ya swap the plug too
Mines always spit oil out. And I have it tuned. (Took out the carb plugs)
@@2010stoof yes! Oil residue near the exhaust export is a good indicator that the screen is starting to become
Clogged.
