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.

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.
