working on an non runner echo srm-225 string trimmer 3/22/24

when I was asked to service the troybilt 30" riding mower for this lady in the neighborhood, her brother had 2 grass trimmers, which needed fixing this was one of them this one took longer than expected to get going again sorry for the lengthy video on it.

Nice job getting it running brother. It sounds good now my friend 🔧👍

[@Turningwrenches85]

Thank you my friend , was a pain this one lol 😆 👍🔧

Man the days of a carb on a trimmer or any two stroke even the 4 strokes lasting is long gone...but you got it up running.

[@Turningwrenches85]

It was a pain in the Kester for sure 😄

[@rogermcdonald1607]

John dont forget to thank the folks from my home state of Iowa for producing the ethanol that made this video possible! LMAO. 😂 Without it you wouldn't have gummed up carburetors to repair. The only thing worse to run through your small engine equipment is whale snot! Lol. Keep turning those wrenches, and i hope the other trimmer is an easier repair. ✌🎬🇺🇸🔧🔧

[@Turningwrenches85]

Lol it was, only a 33 min video on that other trimmer , did a Lil more than a recoil

[@Turningwrenches85]

Love that good old ethanol

I bought a DeWalt battery operated one a couple years ago that’s the best thing I ever did. Gas trimmers are horrible

[@Turningwrenches85]

Some are ok some can be a pain for sure. Only thing on batteries it's ok for a small yard , with what I do I can't use batteries

Great idea to meet the buyer of lawn care equipment so they don't come to your house John

[@Turningwrenches85]

Oh yes I always meet there

I got it a Lil better some off Camera

[@WoodandMetalGarage]

that was a tough one. what's those carbs cost from hipa?

[@Turningwrenches85]

I would've got one from hipa, but he needed that back ASAP.So I couldn't wait too long unfortunately

[@dfields9511]

yah I never meet the buyer of anything I sell at my house unless I already know the person. I always meet in a public place that has security cameras in the parking lot. That way the never know where I live just kind of the area near by the public place I meet at

[@Turningwrenches85]

I hear ya there, had to many people asking questions I didn't want to answer or they asking about a pacific equipment in the yard I didn't feel comfortable with that
