Echo srm 225 runs at idle speed only. Squeezing on the fuel lever has no affect on the speed. Any other ideas?

I used the same fuel in another weed eater, and it runs fine. I replaced the carb, fuel lines and filter. Also changed the spark plug. No change to the problem. Tom

Check for a cable disconnected at the trigger
if you can move the throttle lever on the carby and it makes no difference then there is still a problem in the main jet of the carby

    thanks for the idea, but moving the throttle on the carb makes no difference. Also verified the throttle on top of carb moves when pressing and releasing the trigger.

  • Bill Boyd May 31, 2018

    can you comment on the make and model of the carby
    does it have a butterfly or rotating valve as a butterfly
    The indications are that the main jet is partially blocked

SOURCE: ECHO 2000 WEED EATER I changed the fuel line,

You may need the carburetor adjusted or rebuilt. The other possible item is "bad gas". If the gas has been sitting around longer than 30 days, it may be time to mix up some fresh fuel mixture.

If everything is new than something is out of adjustment. Try readjusting high RPM needle valve if it has one. Go to smalleng.com and look for tutorial or you tube has a lot of interesting tutorials on this kind of thing. Good Luck...

SOURCE: stihl weed eater runs 2min. then stop

Stihl weedeater was running and stopped suddenly. Put in a new fuel filter and cleaner air filter with soap and water. Checked spark plug and it appeared fine. Started the weedeater, ran for a second or so and stopped. Spark plug wasn't gas fouled. Could it be the carburetor needing new diaphram gasket and spring.

I'm having trouble with the echo srm 225

That could be the problem the primer is a direct link to the carb. If you used fuel that has alcohol in it, then it would cause this. So would storing the unit in an area that has ozone.

Smoke generally means you have too much oil to fuel ratio in your mix. Mix per manufacturer 50/1 exactly and try again.

My Echo Leaf Blower (PB-251) will not run at high speed. It is running to rich. Help please. Charlie

I've been fighting with an Echo PB-251 blower and an Echo SRM-225 string trimmer since near the end of last lawn season (this is the forth season I've had them). Along comes a thread on a firearms forum and lo and behold the answer to the problem is spelled out in terms even I can understand.

After reading that thread (which attributes the problem of the engine bogging down when throttle is activated to collapsing fuel lines) I was going to just replace the fuel lines, but I discovered that there are kits that include new fuel lines, rubber grommets, filters, clips and cap seals for about $13.00 each. Hell, the kit for the SRM-225 even provided a new primer bulb. Ten minutes after the UPS truck delivered them to my door I had both machines running like new again. If you've tried other things and it still hasn't worked I highly suggest you try this.
