@@gregledbetter5942 Glad you got it figured out. Weird I only had to modify the intake block as shown in the video. Great job and fixing and saving your machine

Same goes with OEM 😎.

Thannk you so much!

Good Eye! My Parents got it for as a birthday gift (back in November)! Thanks for the tip! Hope all is well! 🇺🇸🔧🤙🏻🦅

Removing the plastic plug to get those screws on the OEM carb can go easy or test your faith and question life decisions 🤣

@@pattayperformance There are NO plugs whatsoever blocking the access to both the LO and HI adjustment screws on the stock Walbro carb. Thing I hate about these $15 Chinese POS Ebay carbs is that the throttle shaft plate hits the intake adapter plate....the factory fuel lines are too large internally for the ports on the Chink carb...host of crap that needs to be addressed to make them work. But when fitted correctly they're actually pretty good for the price.

@@frankcastle5294, I don’t recall the fuel lines being an issue but I do know the blower needs to tweaked to fit the new aftermarket carb which has easily accessible adjustable screws. Worth it in my opinion. Quick work! You got this

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

WOW! I assume it fell off the back of the truck! Finders keepers! DO YOU HAVE AN HAWK VISION 🧐 Thanks for the view and comment, hopefully you subscribed to my channel 🦅🔧🤙🏻🇺🇸

hope you are doing well!

Yes l

Nice and slow! You got this

Its to keep people out they don't want in there. Aftermarket carb you don't need special tools!

Thanks for watching and chiming in! Glad it helped!

I'm sorry I don't...are you local to the island?

Great Job! 🦅🤙🏻🇺🇸🔧

My suggestion is…if you think it’s too tight of a space with your tool. Remove the plastic intake manifold and modify it outside of the blower to reduce collateral damage. Thanks for the view and comment, hopefully you subscribed to my channel! Please keep my updated with your project. 🔧🤙🏻🇺🇸🦅

@@pattayperformance Got it, that was gonna be my next thing to consider. Worst case I'll spend the $30 on a basic dremel with the cutting tool. Thanks again!

looks can be deceiving...just replace

See if the linkage is broken or hung up on the carb and trace it all the way back to the trigger

Try this before you load up the parts cannon… Get starting fluid…remove air filter cover and filter. Give it quick spray and try to start it. Of it runs and dies…it’s fuel related.

Ok thanks so much

@@stephenchampagne5763 Keep Me Updated!

H L Idle Should be mentioned in the video

Needs to be a happy balance between low speed and idle screw

just seen this...try this...use starting fluid or spray some 2 stroke mix into the carb and see if it fires up. If it does you still have a fuel related issue. Try New Fuel Filter...still persists just slap on a new carb

Of course… I assume it runs once but one hit the throttle it dies Check air filter and if it looks clogged/worn replace Check fuel filter and replace Check spark arrestor/if clogged remove Adjust the H side of the carb

Adjust carb kzfaq.info/get/bejne/pdd4hdqS2LOYiaM.html

I’m out 2-3 weeks of course that’s pending work, weather and parts.

@@pattayperformance Ok I understand let me know thanks!! 👍👍🇺🇲🇺🇲

It can’t fit like OEM bc it’s not OEM.

L is low Phillips is idle

turn

As you can see this one was owner error. Makes me happy when I know an aftermarket carb will do the trick! 🇺🇸🔧🦅🤙🏻

Echo definitely needs to stop using this particular carburetor for this blower. So many people have had the same exact problem with this particular carb. 🤔

@@patrickpoulard24 The OEM carb bolts up and the aftermarket carb needs some trim work from what I understand. Please correct me if I’m wrong. Have you ever worked on the 500h /t’s. Aftermarket carbs you need to switch out the throttle machine plate from the OEM carb in order to make it work.

@@pattayperformance What I did to make it work was I bent the piece where the throttle hook goes in and it worked perfectly. I didn't have to shave off that plastic area that was in the way. All you have to do is bend it slightly and it works.

Ok

Seems like you need to adjust the carb How is your air filter? Did you replace your fuel filter? What does your spark arrestor look like?

I clean my spark arrestor in my fuel filter look good

@@ryanfrankum3493 ok adjust the carb

Do I need to adjust the h side are the low side

@@ryanfrankum3493 idle can be a Mixture of the idle screw and L side. Throttle is the H side

You sure it still has compression? Could have melted a ring. Drain gas Add fresh 2 cycle mix Pull spark plug…pour a little 2 cycle oil down the hole…pull the recoil slowly. Install plug and try to start to it. Keep me updated Thanks for the view and comment, hopefully you subscribed to my channel.

@@pattayperformance well I don't have a compression tester but I pulled the recoils I can feel the suction pretty strong but I will try that tomorrow 👍

@@khmerohio tomorrow starts my work week! Please give me time respond!

So when you pull the cord, it feels as if the motor is locked up and won’t move anymore? It possible the recoil is set inside the cup. What I like to do is, lay the recoil inside and wiggle it. Sometimes, I lay it flat and pull the string and you will feel it set it place as well as get flush inside cup. Then you install the bolts. What diagnostic work did you do before replacing the carb and What were the results?

@@pattayperformance when I start putting the pull cord assembly back on over the cup and give the cord a small pull to feel it engage and then position it to where it is fully seated so I can insert the screws. Once that is complete I can simply pull the cord as if it weren’t even attached to the blower. It pulls and retracts fine. I wouldn’t have removed it except you have to in order to remove the backing. I can try and make a couple videos but I’m not familiar with uploads to you tube or anything.

@@devildog3145 are you on Instagram?

@@pattayperformance yes I sent you a few videos on there.

Carburetor question, the pump works fine every time from what I can tell. It doesn’t get stuck one pressed. Should I be able to see fuel going into the center of the carburetor when pressed or no? I don’t, that’s why I’m asking. When I emptied the fuel tank, I pressed the bulb until the lines were emptied. I could see the fuel in both the return line and main line as I pressed the bulb. Which makes me think that it isn’t the carburetor. But I am at a loss as to what else I can check. I replaced the plug and checked the gap to make sure it was at .65. I’ve ordered the carburetor and will change that once it arrives. After that, if it doesn’t work, I don’t know what else to do. The damn thing still looks brand new. What a disappointment.

What diagnostic steps have you taken and what were the results?

I replaced everything that came with the kit and it still wont start

@@edwintejada3412 ok what diagnostic steps did you do to confirm that the carb was the issue?

????

Good tip! Oops 😂

No please watch the video I posted and you deleted

Let me get this straight… You’ve always used 50:1 and out of nowhere is stopped working. If you spray starting fluid into it…it will start nor run correct? If that’s the cause you have other issues that are not fuel related. Check for spark… Also doesn’t it feel like it still has compression?

@@pattayperformance 50:1 and out of nowhere last week it bogged. Started back up and ran for another 10mins then bogged again and couldnt get it started since. Just for half a second where I couldnt even get idle. Replaced the spark plug with the new one from the carb replacement ebay link. There's puffs of smoke coming out with each pull, but never gets to idle. Sprayed starter into the carb, still won't start. Funny thing about the spark, I was getting spark before but I just tested again and now I get nothing. For both the original spark plug and the replacement that came with the ebay carb package. What would this mean?

@@eladiddy83 never use the ebay plugs. Go with NGK… If you still don’t have spark your coil is most likely bad

@@pattayperformance Yeah, wondering if it was the coil all along and not the carb. Ok, I'll get an NGK. Thanks for the help! Happy thanksgiving!

@@pattayperformance Just wanted to update you. Still having issues (yay!). I went even further than checking the spark plug. - Spark arrestor is not plugged - I hear no weird clicking or anything sounding like it's rubbing on the pistons in case that could've been an issue. - I do have consistent spark. - There's nothing blocking the exhaust port. - Coil looks good. - Gas is fresh with 50:1 echo mix added. - I replaced the carb last week with that ebay link you have on this video. I decided to empty the tank, take out the spark plug and leave it out of the hole for a day or two just to air things out. I was able to get that half a second cold start to occur just before filming the video (link below), flip it to run, pump a little more, but then that's it. Nothing else happens. Still can't get it to actually start. That's pretty much been the farthest I get in the last 2 weeks since I started this whole adventure of trying to get it working again. I'm really out of ideas here. I'm hoping by recording it it might make it a little more clear what the issue is to someone else hearing it. I haven't taken the flywheel off yet but that's probably my next step. Pulling on the pulley does spin the blower fan, so I don't know if a sign the flywheel key is broken is a sign the blower fan wouldn't spin. Either way - here's a link to the video I just took. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/isqHdN2rtLi8gas.html Any help is really much appreciated. Even just telling me this thing sounds like it's a lost cause would still be helpful, I just hate giving up on trying to fix something, especially when it's only a year old and showed no signs of dying prior to this.

got it

none

This one… Why do you keep deleting your comments?

Thanks for watching the video…if it needed a new primer bulb…why would it start and die?

At 1:30 you started looking at the bulb....I thought because the primer bulb wasn't filling that it needed a new 1

mistakes

My apologies, error on my end

Blows my mind...I cut my grass maybe 2-3 times for I aerated, oversees, treated. After that I don’t touch my grass for a month...maybe more. It’s like at what height did they think it’s time to cut the grass 😂

gotchu!

You made my day! Thank you so much! I really needed this

My pleasure, brother. Sort of freaked me out. 😂

Yaaaa Know...sound like a few people I know right now. I’m biting my tongue as they chew my ear off and out!

Needed a little work to make it work. IMO still worth it! Love how you don’t need the special ECHO Carb Adjusting tools either! 🦅🤙🏻🔧🇺🇸

Only 2 years old

What diagnostics did you do and what were the results?

Got spark for sure. New hi test gas mixed properly. New echo spark plug, filter, and carb. Gaskets were good. Fuel lines were like new. Do you know what tool to adjust the carb?

@@sacul7694 You know it’s a fuel related issue if you spray starting fluid into the throat of the carb and it runs and dies. OEM echo carb tools are hard to come by…if you went aftermarket just need a flat tip screwdriver

@@pattayperformance Yeah, we tried starting fluid and it kind of tries, but won't run. I think I'm going to take over to our local fix-it shop. Thanks

Accepted and great job!
