Echo hedge trimmer service repair

Inside the bottom panel, is where the grease etc is... you can take the cover off to make sure it's greased up inside, if it's running and the blades aren't moving when you throttle it, then they can be siezed , or the gear under the panel is off line or broke.

Hi, There are 3 things that you need for the motor to start.
1) Fuel 2) Air 3) Spark. Check all 3 and it should run. Good luck.

Keep a can of WD 40 handy, spray the workings regularly. Shrubbery is sticky.

I have same problem with my hs 45, great machine for a 5 minit job, then it just gives up. Next day it will start up first time again. What is the problem with this?

Its a longshot but I had a problem with my hedge trimmer, it kept cutting out when idling.
It turned out that a clutch spring was broken so the clutch shoes had nothing to restrain them and would fly out and make contact with the clutch drum and stall the machine.
Air locks in the fuel lines will also cause this symptom. These can be caused by running the machine with low fuel level in the tank and cutting upside down or at a sharp angle.

CHECK THE SCREEN ON OUTPUT OF THE MUFFLER. ITS CALLED A SPARK ARRESTOR, THESE GET OIL FOULED AND MAKE EM A BEAR TO RUN . CLEAN IT UP AND SHE WILL RUN LIKE A CHAMP, THE CARB MIGHT NEED REBUILDING ,FUEL FILTER AND A SPARK PLUG IS THE FIRST THING TO REPLACE .. IF'N I WAS ANY HELP VOTE FOR ME ...THANKS.. JAY

Carburetor high speed adjustment ( screw nearest the filter ) open ( counterclockwise ) 1/2 turn.
Adjust again as needed to run when hot.
make sure the gas mixture ratio is as required.

Replace the fuel cap.

I had the same problem with mine. I found that the spark arrestor screen in the muffler was clogged with carbon. A new screen for about $2. solved the problem.
