Thank you for your video, the shaft was about 3” away from motor and one bolt was almost completely loose while the other was hand tight. Pushed shaft in and tightened screws: DONE!! Thank you John!!!
Thank you for your tip of the assembly possinly being loose. I noticed the line and arrows were about 3,/4" below the housing. Would not have looked at that right away had I not watched your video. Thank you!
Well I be damn. Thank you so much for this simple & extremely helpful TH-cam video. 👍🏼 I thought that I accidentally put the wrong gas in my weed eater lol. You’re the man!!
Question!!! Mine is doing and looking exactly as you describe. HOWEVER, when I loosen the screws, the metal shaft WILL NOT PUSH BACK IN. No matter what I try I can't get it to push back in. Any solutions for this? Thank you.
The shaft is inside the housing, if the housing becomes loose as shown by an inch or so, you should suspect that the shaft has slipped out of the clutch. This was the case for me. You need to ensure the shaft is still inside the spinner and inside the clutch at the motor end. This requires removing the motor housing and being careful to slide the shaft back into the square hole without pulling it out of the other end. I'm no expert this is just what I discovered. In the picture above this gentlemen is assuming that the shaft is still inside the clutch.
Bendiciónes... eso era y ahora prende y funcionó...te llevo de corazón..gringo saludos desde Puerto Rico 🇵🇷

You just saved me from buying a new weed wacker. It was exactly the problem. Thanks brother.
Yep, same problem, after I tore it apart. Your video kept me from buying the gear box, which still would not have fixed it. Thanks!
Bless you sir, this was exactly my issue. I truly appreciate you taking the time to make the video and explain it concisely and accurately.
Wow, I can't believe that it was just a simple problem like that my gt 225 sat in my shed for well over a year due to this problem, thank you!

Question!!! Mine is doing and looking exactly as you describe. HOWEVER, when I loosen the screws, the metal shaft WILL NOT PUSH BACK IN. No matter what I try I can't get it to push back in. Any solutions for this? Thank you.
This video saved my marriage !!! (It's a long story.)
This did the trick. I had loosened the bolts to realign the shaft and the shaft slipped out a bit. Problem solved!
Thank you. You are the man.
I have a gab as you showed. I loosed the screws and cant push the shaft in...any ideas
That worked!!! Thanks!
Thanks for the video brother!
Thanks you sir 🙏🏻
A big Thank You!!!
Thank you so much!!
Thank you!!!!!!!
tried this, still left with a sizeable gap before it grabs and would start spining. also tough to push down hoping it is not bigger issue
Thanks I'm try it😊
Thank you for the tips
Sorry to be a rube, but do you use a Torx to unscrew/screw those bolts?
What screws are on there and what size?. Thanks
Exactly my issue. I set that boy down gently on a bail of pine straw now.
Hi Echo 225 won't spin but its not loose like yours? Any idea how I should fix this issue, its really sad I just bought and used it for 1 day.
My screws were just loose I tightened them and it worked
Thank you!
My shaft is tight as hell, any idea what that is
thank you sir
This DID not work for me - I can't push in. Any other suggestions??
Mine won’t push down that far
You probably have to take it apart and rotate the shaft because it’s not lining up
