Echo Blower won't start, easy fix 

The Echos definitely go through more coils than other brands, dunno why, but I see it too. I am not a HIPA fan myself. They are ok, but the base adjustment they start with is usually too far out for the average homeowner to figure out.

Getting to it is the hard part. Sometimes you can get a long skinny Phillips(or Torx, depending on the year) through the holes in the case but usually, you have to take the cover off. If your machine doesn't run rich you shouldn't need to bother with it, but if it's clogged it could(not often) slow the top end down on your blower, it's usually a carb adjustment though. I can honestly say I have never bought one, I clean them with a wire brush and put them back in if they are clogged. After that I will lean it out a bit so it stops clogging. (I have to say this part, and you probably already know it but I get called out when I don't cover all the bases🙄🤣) The spark arrestor is the little screen held in by 2 screws on the outside of the muffler and is intended to help prevent fires.

Amazon. When you get a carb, make sure you have the old one next to you when ordering and visually compare every detail.

It might be a carb adjustment, but it sounds like a coil overheating If you can get it started, adjust the L screw(closest to the motor) until it idles nicely, Then the H screw until it revs well

Not much, maybe $16 for this part

@@GuysPlayingWithTools okay thakyou.

Thanks. Lots of people visiting here are working on their personal machine so I try to show them the best way to get it running without wearing themselves out or making the mistake of buying stuff they don't need.

On yours?

If I were running this channel for commercial shops, I would have them rebuilding carbs all day. I save the old carbs and we have a "rebuild day" about once s month. Your average homeowner(95% of my audience) doesn't have the experience or tools to pull off a correct rebuild and will throw it away before spending the money on an overpriced OEM carb. This saves a lot of them from an early trip to the scrapyard.
