Why won't my Echo PB-255LN start?
- K
  Keith JohnsAug 13, 2025
  If your Echo Blower is having trouble starting, several factors could be the cause. The fuel strainer or fuel line might be clogged, or there could be an issue with the carburetor. Try cleaning or replacing the fuel strainer or fuel line. If the fuel mixture is too rich, open the choke, and clean or replace the air filter. Also, check the spark plug: if the spark gap is incorrect, adjust it to 0.65mm (0.026 in.). Clean or replace the spark plug if it's covered with carbon or fouled with fuel. If the spark plug is defective, replace it.

  If your Echo Blower's engine starts but dies or doesn't accelerate correctly, check the following: the air filter could be dirty (clean or replace it), the fuel filter might be dirty (replace it), or the fuel vent could be plugged (clean or replace it). Also, the spark plug may be dirty or worn (clean and adjust or replace it). The cooling system may be dirty or plugged, so try cleaning it. Finally, the spark arrestor screen may be plugged, so replace it.

Why Echo Blower engine starts hard or does not start?
- B
  Bradley GrossAug 20, 2025
  If your Echo Blower engine starts hard or doesn't start at all, several issues could be the cause. Start by checking the spark plug; if it has an incorrect gap, is covered with carbon, fouled with fuel, or is defective, adjust the gap to 0.65 mm (0.026 in.) or clean/replace the plug. Also, make sure the ignition is away from the STOP position. Other potential issues include an obstructed fuel strainer or fuel line. For issues related to the carburetor, or if the above steps don't resolve the problem, it's best to consult your dealer.

Why is my Echo PB-255LN Blower engine cranking but not starting?
- K
  Kathy BrownAug 25, 2025
  If your Echo Blower's engine cranks but is hard to start or doesn't start at all, several factors could be at play. The fuel strainer or fuel line might be clogged, or there could be an issue with the carburetor. Try cleaning or replacing these components. If the fuel mixture is too rich, open the choke, clean or replace the air filter, and adjust the carburetor. Also, ensure the spark plug gap is correctly set to .65mm (0.026 in.), and clean or replace the spark plug if it's covered with carbon or fouled with fuel. If there's no spark, ensure the switch is set to the ON position. For carburetor issues or persistent spark problems, consult your Echo dealer.

  If your Echo Blower's engine runs, but the blower doesn't work or is weak/uneven, there may be a build-up of debris, so try to unclog it. Also, check for any looseness due to vibration and tighten any loose parts. If there's wear or misuse, consider replacing the affected components.

  Laura HunterAug 31, 2025
  If your Echo Blower engine runs but dies, or doesn't accelerate properly, several factors could be at play. A dirty air filter could be the culprit, so try cleaning or replacing it. Also, check the fuel filter; if it's dirty, replace it or the fuel. A plugged fuel vent can also cause this issue; in that case, you should clean or replace it. A dirty or worn spark plug should be cleaned and adjusted, or replaced. Also ensure that the cooling system is clean and the spark arrester screen isn't plugged. Finally, the issue might be due to improper adjustment, so make the necessary adjustments.

  If your Echo Blower engine runs but dies or doesn't accelerate properly, it could be due to a dirty air filter. Try cleaning or replacing it. The fuel filter might also be dirty, in which case you should replace it. A plugged fuel vent can also cause this issue, so clean or replace it. Additionally, check the spark plug; if it's dirty or worn, clean and adjust it, or replace it altogether. Improper carburetor adjustment or a dirty/plugged cooling system can also be culprits, so adjust the carburetor and clean the cooling system accordingly. Finally, a plugged spark arrestor screen should be replaced to resolve the issue.
