Took the carburetor apart and replaced the needle, the springs, the diaphragm and the gaskets. Replaced the spark plug, the fuel filter, and the air filter.

Rebuilt carburetor. Replaced: fuel vent line and vent; fuel supply line; fuel return line; fuel tank grommet; inlet gasket; primer. Procedure wasn't difficult due in large part to the availability of the training videos on this website and youtube. The only issue I had was that I tried to put the fuel jet hold down bracket on upside down. I reviewed the video and caught my error. It was fun for me as I had never (successfully) rebuilt this type of carb before.

2. Soaked in carburetor dip tank
3. Cleaned out all orifices
4. Re built carb carefully put together
5. Spark plug was bad too.

After only 5 years my carb was stuck (flooding) on Echo trimmer. When i got around to getting a new carb, fuel lines and filter this spring, I was shocked to see the fuel lines were GONE outside the tank and in pieces in the tank. guessing from ethanol gas? The new parts fit GREAT and the repair was simple. I bought some oil mix at a big box store that claims to offset the effects of 'modern' fuel. and it started on the 1st pull. We'll see how long it lasts Complete cost of repairs about $ 40 carb - power kit - mix - air filter.
