But failed......cause you is a slacker.
Truth...

I posted this in the "What's on your bench" thread to:

Can you or anybody else recommend a carburetor for an echo 225 motor?

I would like something fully adjustable if there is an option for that. I don't mind aftermarket, if you know of a specific brand.

Thanks in advance...

What the hell is an Echo 225?

I thought it is a Trimmer.

Googled; maybe this: https://www.echo-usa.com/trimmers-brushcutters/srm-225

LOL, Echo refers to a line of equipment, with their legendary 21.2cc motor, with the 225 designation. For instance, SRM-225 (straight shaft trimmer), GT-225 (curved shaft trimmer), PE-225 (edger), SHC-225 (hedge clippers), etc. They all have the same motor/powerhead. Solid motor, crappy non-adjustable carburetor.

I am looking for a replacement, preferably fully adjustable, if there is such a thing. The OEM carburetor is trash IMO. I will never buy another piece of Echo equipment with the non-adjustable carb.

Should Echo, and Legendary be used in the same sentence? :camper:

I am guessing that is what it is. They are not really adjustable, total garbage. Unfortunately, there does not seem to be an adequate replacement.

The older GT2100 used a conventional diaphram carburetor with H&L adjustments. The GT2101 updated to the rotary POS. Hope this helps just a little from a fellow Kioritz liker of orange LOL!:abrazo:
BTW, If you can find an old parts machine it may help with the throttle cable stuffs.
