Echo Hedge Clipper Carburetor Cleaning and Rebuild

In this video I show you how to clean a carburetor on a Echo hedge clipper. The carburetor is similar if not the same to lots of other brands like Poulan, Ryobi, Husqvarna, Troy Built, Craftsman. The technique I used cleaning the carburetor is the same if you have a Zama or Walbro type. This is the same way you would clean weedeaters, chainsaws, and mini tillers. They just attach differently. One additional note......if you have adjustment screws H L or just one screw on your carburetor once you have removed and cleaned it the typical setting is 1 1/4 turns out after bottoming out the adjustment screws. Just FYI..

Thank you sir. I have been focusing on our Bronco lately but will throw in odd repairs along the way as they pop up. If you ever have a request let me know maybe I have something in the works that might be beneficial.

Been looking all day for this much information. BRAVO

[@JasonJonieBuilds]

Thanks for watching! We will have a few more small engine videos soon.

It's amazing how much valuable info I gleaned within the 30 minutes of this video. Thank you! Also a plus was how well thought out everything was presented, which helped glide things along at a smooth pace without the usual amount of afterthoughts added that should have been mentioned earlier. The good picture and audio quality didn't hurt either! First time I've seen one of your videos, and I've already begun checking out some of your others.

Thank you! We are still relatively new. We try to get better each video. Please subscribe if you haven't and let us know if you have any content ideas. Thanks again.

thank you ! i just picked up one of theese for free, dont look used much but the carb is plugged up for sure, i appreciate the way you did your video ! and your an honest man too. great idea getting that plug out, im gonna watch more of your channel now, i enjoy playing with small engines too, theres always something new to learn. have a great day!

[@JasonJonieBuilds]

Thank you for the kind comments. I enjoy small engines and worked on them for many years. Our channel has been mainly Bronco stuff lately but we try to fit in repairs as they come up. Thanks for watching.

Awesome video Jason! Perfect timing as I've just been working on a fairly old chainsaw. You did a great job showing and explaining every detail especially compared to a lot of other videos that cut things too short and don't offer tidbits of useful insight. If you ever make more of these kinds of general tool repair videos it'd be great if you kept up the same attention to detail!

[@JasonJonieBuilds]

Thanks Jonathan, Jonie is trying to build the channel and won't let me do anything without the camera LOL. I appreciate you watching. If you have any topic suggestions let me know.

I run the expensive engendered fuel 2 stroke mix from Home Depot and both of my echo units have been running well for years.

[@jamesbabcock1332]

One issue that I thought I saw happen is the throttle barrel sticks a bit as it rotates from idle to full open. I had the same problem. There is a small (2mm) roller that goes over a post at the periphery of the barrel housing. It just slides on and off and is easy to lose. A new one comes with the rebuild kit. Without it the throttle will stick and bind.

[@JasonJonieBuilds]

Thanks James

It does have an adjustment screw it’s right under that brass ring by prime bulb. Remove the black cap in side and then you can adjust

[@takaosakase9419]

Thanks for the trick!

[@JasonJonieBuilds]

We appreciate you watching!

[@andrewbratos6907]

now that i see your filter, I would like to improvise and put a "T" on the line and have 2 filters

[@andrewbratos6907]

Oh yeah, wear some safety glasses, fingers are cheaper than eye balls

[@kiddt1999]

Do not run ethanol period on these carburetored engines.
