If the Echo Trimmer engine cranks but doesn't receive fuel at the carburetor, clean it. If there's no fuel at the cylinder, or if the muffler is wet with fuel, consult your ECHO dealer. Also, if there's no spark at the end of the plug wire, ensure the switch is on and consult your ECHO dealer.
Why is my Echo SRM-261 engine hard to start?
If your Echo Trimmer engine is hard to start, several factors could be the cause. It could be due to a clogged fuel strainer or fuel line, which would require cleaning or replacement. Alternatively, the fuel mixture might be too rich, in which case you should open the choke, clean or replace the air filter, or adjust the carburetor. Other potential issues include no spark (turn switch to ON), incorrect spark gap (adjust to .65mm or 0.026 in.), a carbon-covered or fuel-fouled spark plug (clean or replace), or a defective spark plug (replace the plug).
Why is my Echo Trimmer engine running poorly?
If the Echo Trimmer engine is running poorly, check the following: the air filter (clean or replace), the fuel filter (replace), the fuel vent (replace), the spark plug (clean and adjust/replace), the cooling system (adjust) and the spark arrestor screen (clean).
What to do if my Echo Trimmer engine runs, but dies?
If your Echo Trimmer engine runs but dies or doesn't accelerate properly, consider these potential causes: a dirty air filter (clean or replace), a dirty fuel filter (replace), or a plugged fuel vent (clean or replace). Also, check for a dirty or worn spark plug (clean and adjust or replace). Improper carburetor adjustment may also be the reason (adjust it). Excessive dirt or debris (clean) or a cracked, plugged, or perforated screen (replace) could also be the cause.
