If your Echo Trimmer cranks but doesn't start, or starts hard, it could be due to a lack of fuel at the carburetor, which would require cleaning or replacement. Alternatively, the fuel strainer or fuel line could be clogged, or there could be an issue with the carburetor itself. Clean or replace the fuel strainer and fuel line. For carburetor issues, consult your Echo dealer.
What to do if my Echo SRM-225i engine runs, but dies?
If your Echo Trimmer engine starts and runs, but then dies or does not accelerate properly, several factors could be the cause: * The air filter might be dirty and needs cleaning or replacing. * The fuel filter could be dirty and require replacement. * A plugged fuel vent may need cleaning or replacing. * The spark plug may be dirty or worn, needing cleaning, adjustment, or replacement. * The cooling system might be dirty or plugged and require cleaning. * The spark arrestor screen could be plugged and needs replacement. * There might be an improper adjustment that needs to be adjusted.
