Nice repair Bob! Landscapers here in my area love those machines. You saved one for the price of a Chinese carb and alittle time. ✌Roger
Those older echos are the best. Take Care.
Hated to see you put all that work into the carb and then it still didn't work. I have had pretty good luck with those aftermarket carbs. I learned this from mowermedic1 i like the Hipa replacement carbs but they don't always make the one you are looking for. They seem to run really good after the carb swap. Hope the family is doing well. Have a great weekend!
Thanks for the tips!
Well done. Thanks for posting.
I have the same trimmer so this is great information to have, one thing people might want to be aware of is the fuel line replacement kit should be purchased oem I made the mistake of buying one from eBay and the grommet is the wrong size it's a larger size than mine and from what I have been told the quality of the line is very poor. Thanks for sharing
Yes, I had the same issue so I switch the grommet because I happened to have one in the toolbox.
Grouse stuff mate that Echo Hedge trimmer is a gem now days plus a good design too unlike the improved design now days which is often not always as good etc.
Yes Sir, I like the older style simpler carb.
@@doublewide6 for sure the new and improved ones are much worse to use as original ones are better qaulity plus are easy to work with and last longer etc.
Sometimes it's always better to replace the carb on those 2 strokes they are finicky like you said
I agree with you, but sometimes I like to fiddle with the equipment instead of waiting 2-3 days for the carb.
@@doublewide6 i can understand that . i am guilty of doing the same myself.
Doublewide6 you should have used your mityvac,to check the carb. I bought one right after you had a video on how to use it. I still use it.
Sometimes it gets time consuming also with filming but it would have helped.
It's getting to the point that I just give them a quick 5minute carb rebuild and if it fails buy an aftermarket. It comes down to the check valve diaphragms being dried out. Not worth the price nor hassle to swap those most of the time.
Huh...never thought of the tiny check valve diaphragm getting stiff like the metering diaphragm or stretched out like the pump diaphragm...but that makes sense. Hate to replace the carb without knowing "why"...but can't beat the price on the aftermarket carbs & kits. Makes you wonder why the Zama/STIHL carbs are so pricey.
Got to agree with you Moe. I like the the garage door lights. A very creative original idea. Nice job.
From what I hear the ultrasonic cleaners with high heat are touch on the check valve as well.
Thanks for putting up the links. Most of the pro repair guys just replace because of labor costs. I have an echo weed whacker that will get your replacement advice
Hope it helps out. Thanks.
I have an Echo string trimmer that acted the exact same way. I put a new carb on it and it runs like a champ.
That is the way to do it. Years ago it was not an affordable option.
Yeah I get the same result. We are fixers and like to get it repaired.. but for a $12 carb gets a better result.. runs good mate
Hey buddy, thanks for stopping in. Hope all is well.
THANK YOU FOR THE TIP .GREAT VIDEO .FROM DOUG
Great job there Young Man 😎👍 glad to saved them from becoming scarp metal
Yes, thanks
@@doublewide6 yeah buddy 😎
Awesome I just found a cs400 echo at a garage sale for 1 dolllar! May or may not do a
Video
Yup carb swap is the way to go + the aftermarket carbs are adjustable on Hi and Lo
Do a video on it Jeremy.
Not a project fail at all. I always clean the carburetor first, and replace metering diaphragm if needed. Then you order a cheap Chinese carb on Amazon and usually runs like a top. Most times I can get OEM carburetor to run well after cleaning. Project success, plan B.
You are the best. How is that right arm feeling? If you don’t succeed try try again. Lol
Feeling pretty strong after that one.
When your first tried to crank it , I knew and said you're going to have to put a new carb on it. I see that's what you ended up doing.
worked like a charm
Why didn't you tell him sooner.
I had the Shindaiwa version of the same machine. It was fantastic but I sold it after learning how badly they damage your plants.
Thanks for sharing
Yeah the aftermarket carb is the ticket. Also, you may have blown the check valve out of the main jet by blowing through the carb with shop air. Ask me how I know...
Good tip!
I have the same thing what is the specs on the coil I don’t know if it’s the wheel or the coil it does not give spark
Whats the difference between orange and white colored hc1500?
Nice work👍
Do you have a good coil you would sell to me for the echo HC-1500?
It looks like this degreaser ruins rubber. So when you left the seat in the carb...
the seat is brass.
I think the bulk of us would have done the same ! Do you know the year just curious ?
Dont' know the year.
Did you check to see if the exhaust port screen is not all clogged up?
Did not check but it can't be cause it runs perfect on the new carb.
I always just pull that screen. People run 16:1 non syn and those muffins/screens get a pound heavier from the carbon
Hi Do you need some great lighting upgrade for your truck to help you better driving, off-road and adventure.We're the pro auto lighting manufacturer for nearly 20 year and we're looking for sponsorship!
I hate working on my hc 150. Even when I buy the after market carbs, it still doesn’t run right.
check the muffler spark arrestor is not clogged with carbon.
