I have an old Echo SRM 2502 weed eater that has kicked butt for 25+ years. I believe it was manufactured in 1990. The OEM carburetor has long been obsolete. I bought an echo gasket set that is unfortunatly aftermarket...It was in an Echo package but I have learned that after the product was discontinued, they sell repackaged aftermarket parts. It is not sealing. The gaskets seamed thinner than the ones on it that I used to rebuild it 15 some odd years ago. I researched aftermarket carburetors and found many that had the Echo part number as a reference but only one of them came close to matching the OEM carburetor. I bought the one I found and it has the throttle connection reversed. Instead of pulling from the air filter side of the carburetor, it pulls from the engine side. Do any of you have any suggestions as to where I can get a OEM gasket set or aftermarket carburetor for this?
