Trimmer had a problem of hard starting and not starting. First I checked the gas and fire. Had strong fire replaced the fuel filter, fuel tank vent and new fuel---still would not start . Disassemble carb blew out with carb cleaner, reassemble --still would not run. Carb was dry no fuel---Replaced carb with with new one made sure the fuel lines were in proper place---press primer bulb --fuel could be seen returning to tank through the yellow line. Choked it --pulled it still no fuel on plug---any suggestions ?????
THANKS

Is it getting fuel to the carburetor bowl?

It is a Zama carb and it does not have a bowl. When you press the primer bulb you can see fuel going into the carb and then coming out of the return line.

Will it fire with a wiff of starting fluid?

My Echo only gave me problems when the spark arrestor was carboned up... simply would not run.

Sorry I should have paid more attention to what you originally wrote.
