Small Engines (Lawn Mowers, etc.): ECHO trimmer SRM-1500, echo trimmer, starter fluid
QuestionThis summer starting having trouble starting the trimmer. Got it started a couple of times using starter fluid. Now it does nt start at all. Believe there may be a fuel problem. What should I do first to find or correct problem?
Never had any difficulty with the trimmer before.
AnswerMost likely the carburetor needs to be rebuilt. Rebuild kits come with a varity of gaskets and diaphragms to fit several carburetor series.
Basically you just disassemble the carb, clean with compressed air and carb cleaner then install the new gaskets/diaphragms, inlet needle and it's ready to go.
Do you have any experience with carburetors of any kind?
Let me know.
