- SRM 225 just needed a little tweak!
I used a 1.5mm crochet hook to remove the black plastic plug. Heat up the tip cherry red, push into the plug and let cool, then pull it out. With a properly sized flat screwdriver turn Out the brass adjusting screw to jack out the brass plug. Then you are free to adjust the high speed mixture for the correct tip end rpm!

Those needles come in handy for so much. Great tip, Ken. Thank you.
Thanks for watching SandiRose
Great tip and repair Ken 👍
Hope it helps someone! Thanks for watching Artie!
And there’s your dinner ! Nice tip on the hidden screw.
Thanks Ralph, we need to meet up again for breakfast!
@@KensSmallEngineRepair I agree 100% !
I always learn something from you Ken, quick and easy...
Glad people find it useful! Thanks for watching!
Nice video Ken !!!
Thanks for watching Kris!
Thanks helped and would have never figured that one out
Great video Ken well done 👍
I tried to be slow and calm like James Condon lol!!!
Great information video Ken well done
Thanks for watching Nev!
Awesome fix ken....
🤔 you get all the easy stuf
Please send some of it my way 🤣😊👍
We get lucky sometimes!
Great video, but just a slight correction, I hope you don't mind. The carb is not a Walbro, it is a Zama! RB-K9ish I think...
I stand corrected by the Master! I confused it with the ever so popular Walbro WYL carb. Oh how I despise all the Rotary Barrel design carbs! Thanks for the clarification!
@@KensSmallEngineRepair No biggie. That was a beautiful video that works on both carbs anyway!
Good tip Ken
Thanks Al!
Nice info!!! Thanks Ken!
It’s the simple ones that we overlook!
Great video Ken
Thanks for watching!
@@KensSmallEngineRepair of course.
Nice demonstration Ken, quick and easy. 👍
It had better be as there was only a half hour of daylight left!
LoL, I know what you mean Ken, down here the skeetas will tote you off if your out in the shop after dark.
@@Big_Johns I keep the OFF can right next the the carb cleaner can.
🤣 Tom I have to keep the 12 gauge next to my carb spray they're so big here. 🤣
How many trimmers are going to the dump due to this - thank you EPA for wasting ressources - rant over! Thank you Kenny for sharing this great tip.
This was the quickest one yet thanks to the crochet hook!
I’ve tried a small pick as well a small screw and no luck 🤣
The small crochet hook I use for Briggs rubber inlet seats, the red ones, as the Tecumseh tool is a bit too large. This small crochet hook is just right for the job with the perfect tip size!
Great video Ken 👍 great analogy - pays for your breakfast for a week and he gets a good deal. Couldn’t agree more.
Free breakfast? I’ll take it!!
Another great tip Ken if they only new 🤷
Best they keep them tuned for emissions to keep us busy!
@@KensSmallEngineRepair don’t tell Biden’s EPA, they will make them seal off that cap and make you tip no longer possible.
Ken well put together video that will surely save any viewer a lot of money by not needing to take their trimmer to the repair shop. Additionally, a very fair price to charge for this repair!
Thanks for watching Wayne!
Great video on the hidden adjustment screw ps I never received the sticker I won on your video about the what is it about the hat rack
My apologies I’ll get right on it. Thanks for watching!
Sorry Hoss I’ll get right on it. Thanks for watching!
I'd ask the guy to try going back to the 50:1 to see what happens. I've been running Amsoil Saber 2-stroke oil at 80/100:1 for a while now with no issues. I also use a little fuel stabilizer because it takes me a couple months to go thru 2.5 gallons of gas in my Echo and Shindaiwa 2-strokes.
This guy uses it infrequently so he buys canned premix. I find some newer equipment, especially with these rotary barrel carbs, need to be tweaked ever so slightly each season.
@leonardo migot I tried warming up for 5 minutes and no change. No after the 1/16 ccw turn it revs up immediately cold or warm
If the guy isn't running that trimmer at WOT, and there is a spark arrestor installed, he could be plugging it up.
My first Echo trimmer I bought used for $50. It would rev about half throttle and no more. I pulled the muffler to check for piston scoring, and noticed the screen was about 80% plugged. I burned off the residue with a torch and reinstalled it. That thing ran just fine for about 9 years until it got stolen (along with almost everything else in the truck bed) in 2008.
@@nelsonbrum8496 agreed on checking the spark arrestor. I see the majority of clogged spark arrestors in Backpack Blowers and handheld blowers were they idle and get used part throttle often. Thanks for watching!
Take a look in some carb adjusting drivers. There are two with slightly different thread diameters. They screw in and remove the plugs easily. Enjoy the videos. Hope it helps.
Thanks for watching Steve!
$20 is my minimum as well but is should probably be $40 .
Under 10 minutes including me filming it? $20 is just fine. Would’ve been 5 minutes without filming for an avg hourly rate of $240/hour!
There's something the manufacturer won't tell you.
Never! G’day Mega!!
@@KensSmallEngineRepair G'day mate ;)
Nice money saver there Ken mate 👌
Thanks for watching Rob!
