Ive had my srm-225 for 10 years and used it commercially for 3 of those years. As long as non-ethanol fuel is run through it, it will last a long time All maintenance on 2-stroke engines (lawn equipment) is fairly easy. Thanks for the video. I was getting frustrated trying to get the grommet off then just took off the fuel tank. Made life a little easier.
Only hard part is getting new grommet into tank. Better to remove tank (3 screws) so you can work all sides of the grommet. Apply a little dish soap for lubrication.
and doesn't the fuel saver chem keep the regular gas running well? Seems I've had my SRM230 Trimmer running with regular ethanol fuel and gas saver and its still running at 9 yrs!
Wut up lawnboy! Got a brand new srm 225 and after using it for about 20 min it keep cutting off. I think it may of been because of the way I was holding it while trimming (upside down) and it wasn't sucking gas. This ever happen to you?
I replaced my lines (Echo) and now it isn't running? Seems like I'm not getting fuel through the lines or something? What am I missing? Seems like the tank is pressurized?
I need help. I have a echo srm 225. The primer bulb only works if the return line is literally submerged in the fuel. Should it be like that? Cause if im not mistaken the return line comes originally as a short line.
Hey lawn boy on my echo srm 225 i cant get the two front screws on the gas tank to come off and i dont have money for wd40 so is there a way i can get it to come off with out wd40
I had the same problem getting those screws off of mine as well. I had to use my drill to get them off and that worked, so use ether a drill or a small impact driver and those screws should come off.
Inserting the new 17mm fuel tank grommet is the challenge. It does make the task easier of installing the grommet by removing the fuel tank. I recommend using a spoon 🥄 to push the grommet in the fuel tank opening. Of course WD-40 lubricant really helps too.
I opened the Inside because there was a string jammed inside and as soon as I open it all the little metal parts fell out and went through the little cracks on my front porch so know I lost most of the little parts and know I have to buy all the little parts I lost FMl.
I wonder why you didn't show putting the grommet into the tank. Oh wait I know, cuz it's a bitch without removing the choke plate. I actually removed the tank from the unit and put it in a vise so I could get it to fit.
Yeah and that’s the worst part. I spent at least 30 minutes trying to get it on this morning. I really was looking forward to seeing someone else struggle with it! 😂

Confidence Skill +1 - Thank you!
To help with grommet installation, you can wipe some oil around it before inserting.
Getting the grommet in is the hardest part of this procedure and he skipped over it.
@@richardross2282 ha..i was thinking the same thing...whats the point of the video??

Thanks for the how-to!
AWESOME VIDEO!
Very good showing, thank you!🙏
I bought a 90129Y and it worked the same.
Thanks for the video I learned something today 👍👍👍👍🤝
it wold of been useful to move the camera so that people could see you put the fuel lines back together, I have no idea were it went.
I was grommetized over this but I got the job done.
Thanks for the video
Thank you!!
Perfect thanks

Echo Red Armor Fuel is the best 50:1 gasoline for Echo Equipment

the same happen to me i dont know what going on.
Can you please use the Echo Red Armor Fuel in your Echo PB-500T Backpack Blower
why cannot i use Carb cleaner and spray clean out that gas tank fuel filter? Have done that at least for 3-4 seasons without replacement.
Do you use normal gas for your mixture? Just wondering.

@@lawnboy8461 thanks
you dont have money for wd40 but you have internet and and a weedeater??
I still can’t get the darn grommet to plug into the gas tank.

What the price

Would help if you actuall showed what your doing
TO ANYONE REPLACING THE GROMMET, take the gas can off, get a dull flathead and push it in while gently working the sides of it with the screw driver
i maintence 18 Trimmers, ive never had to take a tank off.
You skipped putting gramut back into the gas tank.
Yeah and that’s the worst part. I spent at least 30 minutes trying to get it on this morning. I really was looking forward to seeing someone else struggle with it! 😂
You edited out the hardest part. The grommet. You must of struggled with it. 👎.
I did struggled with it.
The gromey is straight up Bullshet. Never buying a piece of junk echo ever again.
I love echos
These groments are bs
