I believe that the ladies are the future of small farms. I'm happy to share what I know. I have a lot of friends of the female persuasion that want me to create videos on how to operate all the little machines too. I have a lot of information that I want to share, haha. I could do 7 videos a week, daily, if only I had the time. That's a chicken and egg situation. I want to make videos every day but I'd need to stop farming, but without the farm I have nothing to make videos about. I'll keep these mechanic/handy videos coming with you in mind Julia.

Not just women some of us guys didnt learn stuff like this until later in life

Thanks Daniel. Fun fact: I usually only need one person so like something for me to be like "well, I should totally do more of that". I really enjoy making these types of videos. Have to tackle oil changes next week.

It was easier than even I thought Sherry. With the kits it was super easy. I didn't even really need to change out the carb but I had a new one so I figured what the heck? Let me know how it goes.

haha, right. It's when you spend hours on something and think you got it and it won't start that you know it's time to walk away for a bit. That fix was super rewarding. I couldn't get the thing to start before that.

Success!!! Whoahooooo....👍

I did this same tune up on my echo weed wacker for about the same cost...unfortunately mine didn't get any better! It was just that simple, so give it a try, you have very little to loose and lots to gain

Thanks for the encouragement Bill. I wonder why yours didn't help or get any better. hmmm.... Yes, I'll do more videos like this. Not to brag, I'm finding that I can fix just about anything and I love making these types of videos. So much to do so much to do.

There you are Ed, missed you. Yeah, with a fully built carb in the kit it just made sense to replace it while I was in there.

Darn chicken and egg situation here. I wish I had known that when I was battling with it, but I had to produce the video and struggle to get your advice. Now I know for next time.

Great description of the pluggy thing a ma bob. You made me laugh, which is great because I got looks in the coffee house I'm sitting in.

My neighbor calls it sex grease!

Good to know Salmon Hunter. Also, do you in fact hunt salmon? That I'd like to see.

John Suscovich l had a fishing charter business on Lake Ontario for 15 years. When I retired I just keep the handle. Now I am what a call a gentleman farmer most of it is covered in bushes and trees.

Glad I could help Eric.

I took the screws out and it was just as hard with it off.

Thanks Mark!

You're welcome Mat. Glad you enjoyed this one.

Yay! Such good feedback on this one. I love fixing things and shooting video so this is a good move for me. Thanks Lacey.

Of course you can.

I keep trying to over-analyze what I post and everyone keeps telling me "you're fine, don't overthink it, just keep posting" haha. Thanks buddy!

Glad I could help

Thanks Jerry. I like making them. Not surprisingly I'm behind on equipment maintenance so I'll have more coming out soon.

I should have read your suggestion before spending 20 minutes exhausting myself trying to get the seal in that would not go in. Finally got it it. Thank you!

alternatively... Microwave a cup of water for about 4:00 until its BOILING! use needlenose to submerge that rubber bit. but don't let water get into the hoses. Then just slip that hot little grommet in and VIOLA!

Typically.. You have to tune the jets on these new carbs. There is a flat blade adjustment screw in a very tiny hole on the side. I believe that is the high. and then down the middle of the barrel. In the center where it pivots when you pull the throttle. Down in there is a flat blade adjustment. Gotta remove a plug. Look up "hidden adjustments on weed wackers" You'll find a video by Small engine Saloon.

@@austech360 I ordered a HIPA kit... I also replaced spark plug, removed SP arrestor, all fuel lines, gaskets, air filter, gas filter - basically everything in the kit. Still didn't run at top speed... I adjusted the high speed jet below the fuel bubble to get it to hum pure and strong.

Check your clutch and drum

Or your flex cable

My Hipa kit new carb needed a high speed adjustment to get it to top speed. Not sure if these guys have the same kit... I'd take out the brass cap first thing before you install the carb back on the body, that way its just a jewelers screw driver adjustment away from being a great day!

What's different about me? I may be able to grow a real beard now? haha. Do I really have hard core fans? I consider you all friends. We're all on a journey together, I just happen to be a guy making videos about it. I get most of my music from artlist.io, a resource I got from Justin Rhodes.

It came with the kit and was easy enough to switch while I was in there.

did you adjust the carburetor they may not be set right

RideShare Confessions how you adjust the carburetor? One thing I noticed that the gas leaks from vent value or check value don’t know what you call ( fuel line has three tube the one with cap)

@@latifmemon9566 there should be 2 screws on the carburetor it controls the high and low this guy might have a video how to set it up there are other people that have videos on here how to adjust it and if it's lacking a gasket could be pinched i have the ECHO PAS-2620 and the layout of everything might not be the same

The third one is just an airline to allow air to go into the tank. It doesn't connect to anything.

When you struggle with the hosing and the gas tank, that's when it's time for a beer. Behind the scenes note: I had a beer off-camera for most of this. To be fair I shot all of it after 5pm.
