Yes, I found that screw in the middle of the carb rotor for the idle mix. In that type of carb design, barrel type, that's where it is. A new coil is 20 bucks. How much is that light bulb spark tester? I replaced the crappy carb with an Echo OEM carb. Surprisingly, it didn't have any...

I do not know how old it is, I trash picked it and put in one of those cheap crappy Chinese carbs. Ran great until the old lady effed it up.

My younger brother has a short shaft. Just ask his old lady

Put a bit of Star Tron Fuel Stabilizer in the tank, and see if it clears up. That stuff is really good.

SRM 225. Replaced carb, plug. Checked insulator, no cracks. The little woman dropped it off its perch and it fell 5 and hit the concrete hard, thus the reason for the new carb and that little metal plate that holds the air filter in. Have tweaked it a bunch, runs rough at idle, pretty smooth...

Good reply, thanks. Took out that gasket and starts easier. When I looked at the hole in the gasket, and the size of the hole in the carb, it's easy to see the gasket was restricting air flow. Still take too many pulls (8-10) to start, but it's better than it was.

Thanks, M. Where is NEK Vermont? We have family in VT, but I never heard of that region.

Echo SRM 225 a bear to start. Looked at parts diagrams, it shows a single gasket between the carb and the body of the trimmer. But when you click on the link for the gasket part number it says you need 2 gaskets. Huh? Do you know which is correct? Is there a gasket between the air filter...

Good afternoon. Need a few tips for Echo 225 String Trimmer. Just installed new OEM Zama carb. I can't get it to start when it's cold. But a tiny little shot of starting ether gets it running, and it stays running. Question: If it starts with a shot of ether, does that mean I need to give...

Model is a Red Max EBZ 4800 back pack blower. Carb is walbro wya-24-1. Hi speed screw not easily located. Ideas?

Not trying to be a wiseguy, but don't buy Stihl. You really want an Echo. My neighbor has a Stihl, and he's always yanking on it, even while it's hot. Save yourself some ag.

Are there any of those cheapo carbs you get on ebay any good, or are they all pretty much crap? That's all, thanks.

Been using Pri-G for years, and your premixed fuel will hold up for two years or better. I'm a true believer.

Went through my set, missing. If ya got lemme know pls.

Seems to be the best option.
