A customer brought in an Echo HC1500 hedge trimmer with the complaint that it wouldn't start. First test we performed was the sniff test and the fuel is ripe. Follow along as we get it running. #smallenginerepair

Love how you use the forceps to enlarge the lines for easier installation. I’ve used needlenose pliers and a larger fid or spike, but I like your method much better because there are no sharp or pointed edges. I have several forceps so I’ll have to see which ones have the smallest tips, and if none are small enough I’ll just grind and polish one down to do the job. I’ve never owned a tool I haven’t modified! 🔧👍

I went through a phase where I was making tools. These days I'm more likely to search for and buy what I want.

Thank you for all of the Tips and tricks you give us. It also helps to reinforce all that we’ve learned. How many of us know better but still won’t forget. Thanks again and take care.

I know a lot of these videos are quite similar...thanks for sticking around.

@@TheGreasyShopRag same but different. I can see those subtle differences and learn. Appreciate your help. Plus you’re like the guy next door. Take care.

I’ve told that tip about installing furthest lines first into tank to multiple so-called professionals on KZfaq who show viewers how to do it backwards. Yup, it’s simple common sense, but a lot of these people don’t really think about what they’re doing - how to do things easier or more efficiently. 👍🔧

I guess if I was just making a video for youtube it wouldn't matter much but these are actual customer repairs where I'm on the clock and expected to be efficient. Do you find many other small engine videos with this format?

Two stroke running issues are all the same. Don't matter if its a hedge trimmer or gas powered turtle neck sweater.

It was found on amazon but I've gone back to look again and they no longer offer it.

I have a trimmer similar, local mechanics said to toss it because i have a vacuum leak , anything I can do to fix it on my own?

@TheGreasyShopRag Ай бұрын

Did he tell you where the leak was? Crank seals?

@WorldMarketing721 Ай бұрын

⁠ no, i just showed them a video of how it runs and that was that. But because its an old unit, their advice was “instead of investing $150 into repairs of that unit, invest the money into a new one”. Any step by step that you would recommend to locate the leak?

@WorldMarketing721 Ай бұрын

Can i contact you on any type of social media to discuss this?

@@WorldMarketing721 I'm sorry, between KZfaq, my ebay store and my full time job I just don't have the time to walk anyone through a repair. I hope you understand.
