Up to this year I have really liked my Echo SRM-210 straight shaft string trimmer. Now i'm beginning to hate it with a passion.
The basics is it will fire up within 2 pulls, and idle most likely until it ran out of gas but give it the throttle and above about 1/4th it sputters a bit and dies.
So far I have
*changed cracked primer bulb (ah ha kinda moment but did not fix it )
*put in fresh fuel with correct fuel oil mix
*changed air filter and fuel filter
*changed spark plug, set gap correctly
*removed muffler, cleaned spark screen, cleaned exhaust port of minimal buildup, replaced muffler
*put rebuild kit in carb following a video on youtube, made sure to clean it really well with carb cleaner as I went and double checked all assembly
(this carb only has 1 adjustment for the idle position no mix screws)
*checked all fuel lines for good condition
I really can't figure out what else it could be but it still seems like its not getting enough fuel, and in fact a small amount of pressure on the fuel primer bulb as you give it throttle will make it go almost to wide open throttle.
The only thing else I can see wrong is this silly little thing around where the lines go into the tank is kinda rotten looking but the lines are new as of last year and in great shape.
Edit: i'm about ready to go buy a stihl this thing is driving me mad, any help would be appreciated.
