Piece of crap shindaiwa trimmers. Hate those things. And the carbs they use are Crap!


It's just because you are not familiar with them, thought the same thing when I left the Stihlership and went to work where I am now. The rotary barrel carbs that Echo uses are actually really good, and hardly ever give trouble.

That too, if they ever do give trouble, throw them out and put a new one on, cheaper for the customer.
Running them both under warranty. I have 3 of these all with the same carb issue. Rebuild the carb and it never runs right. I have rebuilt many other carbs with no issues but these always gotta be a pain in the butt so off they go!

I have the same complaint about the 4 MIX carbs, even after ultrasonic and kits they are never right, so now I just replace them.
