Cap Assembly

Removed the gas tank and fuel lines from machine.
Installed all new parts on new gas tank, then mounted assembly to the edger , connected lines to carb.
FYI; Dish detergent helps when installing new fuel lines thru the rubber grommet, and getting the grommet installed in the gas tank

Remove and replace new parts in reverse...

Replacing the gas cap was trivial as was installing the spring.

1. Remove old tank
2. Install fuel grommet into tank
3. Reinstall fuel lines, easiest way is to cut end at an angle. Tie thread to the fuel line and feed it through the grommet and tank opening. Then pull the fuel line into the tank. 4. Put the fuel tank into place and secure.
5. Fuel up and go to work.

1) Removed Gas
2) Removed Gas Tank (2) Screws
3) Removed Air Filter and Cover
4) Removed all Tubes
5) Removed decade Grommet
6) Place small amount of oil on new Grommet and Tubes
7) Removed Gas Filter from old Tube
8) Replaced Gas Filter inside Gas Tank with new Tube Thru the new Grommet
9) Connected new Air Filter
10) Fished oiled Tube thru the Grommet about a 1/2 inch into Gas Tank
11) Fished the Gas (Yellow) Tube thru the new Grommet.
12) Connected the Tubes (Gas and Plunger Tube) to Corroborator.
13) Added Gas and started to verify any leaks.

Replaced the cracked cap with the new one by hand.

1. Removed all engine covers and bad parts
2. Removed engine from trimmer mounting
3. Completely cleaned entire assembly before replacing parts
4. Cleaned magneto & flywheel. reinstalled magneto and checked spacing
5. Installed new fuel lines in new tank with new tank grommet
6. Reassembled all clean parts.
7 Filled tank with fuel/oil mix. tested engine and adjusted carb as needed.
8. After the test my neighbor's weed eater was broke and asked to borrow mine. It ran like new and he wanted to keep it but returned it after a few hours.(NOTE) There is almost no air gap adjustment between the flywheel and magneto. too close, the magneto could scrape the flywheel. too far and you get a weaker spark.

1. Replaced the grommet and the fuel line.
2. Removed the primer plate and replaced the bulb.

Echo GT-2400 grass trimmer.
A trimmer I've used for well over 30 years in my yard.. This Spring upon its start up . It ran lousy. I first removed the primer cover and primer. I put them back on after I worked on the carburetor. I did the same thing with the cap and gasket.
A carb re-build can be tricky to accomplish. So here's how I made it easy for> me.
Took pix's with my cell through-out its dismantling. Carb cleaner purchased for internal passage cleaning. Then blew out the sprayed passages with compressed air. The carburetors reassembly was a piece of cake.{all my cell pix's did garner a great resolve} Reinstalled using all new internal parts from E replacement parts. (the only internet business to buy small engine parts from) Re-set its air/ fuel mixture needles to Echo specs. Trimmer fired right up. Tweaked its low & high speed needle's a second time. Re-Set its Idle screw a tad too. GT-2400 ran as good as new. What a difference in its power curve . Trimmer went from being a throw away to a heirloom. Immediately gave the trimmer to my daughter to use in her yard and went and bought me a brand new Echo curve shaft trimmer today. Don't know if the new echo will run as good as its predecessor. My new echo has a non-adjustable carb. I just may have made a mistake in giving my old yard pal away. Oh well . I know my daughter will enjoy her daddy's sweet running trimmer.

Remove all the gas from the machine turned upside down two bolts to remove fuel tank put the rubber grommet in the new fuel tank first then reassemble very easy just have patience with the rubber grommet hook up the fuel lines and you're all done
