I really like how detailed your video was. But in my opinion, if you’re only aiming for the piston ring, just take off spark plug wire, the top cover, the intake (leave intake off to the side with wires and hoses still connected) and you should be able to pull the head right off with the coil and exhaust still on. Switch out the ring, lube, and reverse. No need to separate the engine from the assembly. But that’s just how I do it.

While a well made and thorough video. Aside from draining all the fuel for safety and less mess, I found you only need to remove the plastic shield, unscrew the carb and leave it hanging. Pop off the spark plug wire, then the 2 screws to remove the cylinder to have access to the piston. I don't even remove the muffler or spark plug.

Replacing a piston ring on an Echo weedeater involves several steps. Keep in mind that it's a detailed process, and if you're not comfortable with small engine repair, it's advisable to seek professional help. Here's a general guide: Safety first: Ensure the weedeater is turned off, and disconnect the spark plug to prevent accidental starts. Disassembly: Remove the engine cover, spark plug, and muffler. This will give you access to the cylinder. Remove the cylinder: Loosen and remove the bolts securing the cylinder to the engine. Gently lift the cylinder away, exposing the piston. Remove the old piston ring: Carefully take out the old piston ring. You may need to use a small pick or screwdriver to help lift it out. Clean the piston and cylinder: Wipe the piston and cylinder clean from any debris or carbon buildup. Make sure both surfaces are smooth. Install the new piston ring: Carefully slide the new piston ring onto the piston. Pay attention to the orientation specified by the manufacturer. Check and lubricate: Ensure all parts are securely fastened. Add a small amount of 2-stroke engine oil to the cylinder and piston to lubricate them. Reassemble: Put the cylinder back in place and secure it with the bolts. Reattach the engine cover, spark plug, and muffler. Test: Reconnect the spark plug, start the weedeater, and check for proper operation. Listen for any unusual sounds or vibrations. If you're unsure or uncomfortable with any step, it's recommended to consult the user manual for your specific model or seek assistance from a professional technician.

what is the ohm spec tolerance of the coil? What is the piston ring tolerance up to the point where crank pulse is too weak to push and pull fuel from the carb? And, will not replacing the head gasket , if it has visible wear just at the bolt holes, after pulling the head lower the crank pressure such that hard starting or no starting occurs?

Why the hell would you remove the flywheel and starter pawl to change a piston ring? On that note, if you're not changing the cylinder, you don't even need to take anything off. Just undo the two head bolts and remove everything at once. Also you didn't torque the head bolts upon reassembly nor mention that this needs to be done. Seems like a vital piece of information that was missed. For anyone who wants to know, Echo's spec for these bolts are 60-85in/lb.

I put my finger over the spark plug hole and felt like it was enough to push my finger off. I tried starter fluid also and couldn't get it to start. Could a plugged exhaust cause it not to start? I may need to take it apart and see if I assembled it wrong. I am just worried about putting to much money into it , because it will be cheaper to replace. It is an Echo SRM-210 over 10 years old. Any suggestions?

Rebuilding the carburetor shouldn't have caused any of your problem. I've seen this happen when the repair person replaced the plug and the new plug has a longer electrode or if the needle valve is stuck open and fills the cylinder with gas.

@FixDotCom7 жыл бұрын
I'm guessing the screws your talking about are the ones that that hold the Head onto the crankcase. Right? If so, does the piston seem bound up or like it's hitting the top of the Head. if it is bound up does tightening both screws equally help the issue?
@jonashworth71267 жыл бұрын
Fix.com Fix.com I already thought about trying that but no combination seems to help. I can screw one really tight and no problem but the other makes the piston not move once it is barely tight. If I keep both screws loose the piston makes a knocking sound on every 2nd stroke and that only happens when the spark plug is fully screwed in. If the spark plug is unscrewed it doesn't knock. The gasket is in good shape so I don't know what can fix it.
@FixDotCom7 жыл бұрын
If the piston and rod are the same lengths as the old one I wouldn't think that to be the problem. There's certainly and issue with the head room for the piston whether it's the rod and piston length or the length of the spark plug. You say once the plug is removed the knocking noise stops. Does the motor turn freely with the plug removed? If so I wonder if the length of the plug is to long causing it to hit the piston. Did the plug get replaced recently?
@jonashworth71267 жыл бұрын
I found the problem. When i full secured the piston case the magneto would get pressed against the plastic spinning part causing it not to turn. Once I adjusted the magneto hiegth the noise stopped and it works now. The only problem is when I give it throttle its almost like its flooding itself and gas is getting ejected from the exhaust. I think somehow too much gas is getting into the space where combustion happens. It also shakes excessively.
