I never knew about the hidden ECHO adjustments, Bre. I just (stupidly) assumed they had none. But......That is why I Love your channel!!

I used a drywall screw to remove the limiter caps on my Echo cs-590.

You're a WEALTH of knowledge!!!! Thank You!!!!!

Well, I didn’t win one of your prizes but, I win every time you put out a video. Rock on Bre!

Thank you for this video. I bought a Husqvarna 322L weedeater seven years ago, and I've had to fight it to get it started and to keep it running. It was that way straight out of the box, brand new! But now that I've adjusted the carburetor, it runs great for the first time ever!

i always find your content rewarding, THANK YOU!!

Drywall screws and KNIPEX TwinGrip Pliers have sometimes worked for me in removing things like bung plugs and limiters... Use a Phillips screw driver to insert the screw into the plug/limiter and then pull straight out with the pliers. Obviously the composition of the material, the thickness, and how tight and clean the friction fit is all have an influence on the success!

Yes i could definitely use one of those sets, nothing worse than trying to adjust with the wrong tip 😊

When you said you adjust / tune engines by ear, reminded me of a friend way back in the day with a Pontiac GTO pretty sure it was a 1965 with 389 tri power. Yeah three carburetors!!!!! He had to adjust the carbs worked on it forever no success. Brought it to a guy at a speed shop he adjusted it in about a half hour, no tachs no instruments just a screwdriver and his ears👍

Thanks for the tips.

Awesome video Bri. Many thanks! 😊

I' have both tool kit for a couple years they work great. Ty for another informational video.

I’ve been cruising thru YT trying to understand how to replace the pull rope of my Stihl KM55 RC. It’s so old that it doesn’t look exactly like the stuff you put in a recent video, so I was watching many different presenters. Here’s what I learned: you are head and shoulders above all those guys in your capacity to shoot and edit video, to explain, and to demonstrate! I appreciate you even more than I ever have, and I want to thank you!

In 1990 I bought a factory refurbished Shindaiwa straight shaft trimmer and it would run perfectly but only half choked. Since I had that, 3 Homelight chainsaws, 2 Poulon chainsaws, a Husquvarna chainsaw, a Roof Vacuum/chipper, Ryobi Tractor, Simplicity tractor and Lowe's generator, I had to buy my first set of Carb tools. I think a set of 3. I'm on my 3rd set, this one has 10. In the '80's I had to learn how to break off the limiter caps on everything from small to vehicle engines. I was expert at carb rebuilding. Only until now have I learned from your videos the reasons for having to rebuild carbs. Back then parts were cheap and in most cases, easier than disassembling an entire unit. I've also just learned about hidden adjustment screws and a limiter cap tool! That may be why I just let it run half choked. That begs the question: Why did it come, factory refurbished, with a major issue? This video is gold! Thank you for posting this! P.S., 400K Drawing Winner!

I've run many brands of weedeaters but I've been running my Shindaiwa with ez feed 450 for the last 20yrs best one in my book!

I have two Troy-built trimmers that never ran right from the store. I fought these for years trying to get my yard cleaned up. They had to run on choke to run at all. In your previous adjustment video I followed along and this week I went out and started one of them, and it ran like it was supposed to on the 3rd pull. I was able to take it off the choke as soon as it started. Gave me a warm Fuzzy. Thanks Bree.

You are good people Chickanic ! Just saw your add on helping others with your tool savings offer and what you do on your channel. I'm same way all my life. That's why you see me trying to help you with products etc. That I've used for a long time both marine repair and automotive which I've found out thru the dealerships I used to work for as a young man thru to 25 years ago when I opened my own repair business in marine repair. Just closed it due to 2 back injuries , memory loss and right hand curling in. Great for gripping tools though 😅. Which is probably why it is like it is. Since 1967 professionally in dealerships. You probably remember me from the " engine tuner / carbon guard/ and Sierra products used for removing " coking" on piston skirts and freeing sticking rings in 2 strokes. Take care and msny thanks to you for helping others too. Lynn Central Florida. Stay safe the both of you ! This country is in ttouble

I bought that kit about 2 years ago and it paid for itself in just one season. NIce video - stay safe.

I will be mowing my lawn for the first time this season. Pulled all of my equipment out of the garage, and everything started right up with no problems! Thank you for all of your small engine advice!

Never knew about the special tools needed, Thank you!

Love the videos as I do most of my own work on my equipment. Glad a home girl is doing them. I'm in Benton.

Thank you for this video. I adjusted my carb on my 20 year old stihl hedge trimmer and it runs and idles perfect.

1 week ago I took out all my equipment. The 7 pieces are used on my 5 acres. Everything started up because of How I store my equipment and a lot of tips from you. All my stuff is OLD. Newest piece is 10 years old. Oldest is 82 years old.

Thank you. Excellent information.

Thanks for all your help. Great video 👏👏👏👏

*Thanks Bre!* Best Tool yet is *Right Here,* ... just need to seek video, Watch, Listen, & Try, Cheers!

Thanks for another great video. I have a Echo trimmer thats about 10 yrs old but havent had to adjust it yet. Now I know how!

I depend on those adjustment tools and found a pack of them at Menards for $10. Back in my shop days even snap on didn’t carry them. Thanks for the great info as per usual. The limiter caps I always took a small screw and needlenose to get them out along with those pesky emulsion tubes but it’s nice to have a magic tool for them now.

Great idea to do that for sure Bre

Excellent video. Thanks

Thanks for the information ❤

Amazing information. Thank you very much.

After following these tips and buying the orange bag toolkit, my bolens blower and my echo weed whacked are both running smoothly, thank you Bre ❤️🙏🏽

Good video. Especially showing the hidden adjustments.

Bravo , it’s clear.

Thanks for the great information.

Well done I learned alot. I fixed the blades that fell out of my blower instead of replacing it. It is an old Ryobi blower that works as good a s new now.

Pretty ironic I was just checking out that exact problem with a craftsman trimmer. It worked! Thanks!

1 day late, ordered the orange kit yesterday. Thanks for the video. Good stuff.

Excellent!! Something new I learned today. In My experience with small engines equipment doesn’t have to adjust carburetor yet. I’ll get ready for it just in case 😂😢 Thanks!!

You have been so helpful to me. I have a Husqvarna walk behind trimmer. This thing never worked right. I only use can fuel. I purchased those droplets things and see that it has water in it. I also purchased the tool to suck out the old gas. I love that tool. I am going to buy another one. A giant ant was inside my tank. Lol. This year I am going to try to get it started myself. Watching your videos has helped me so much.

Thanks Brea for sharing the info. As always a great video.

You friggin rock Chickanic! ❤

Super genius, thanks for the info 🇺🇲

Look here Chiquita! I listened to your review on the toolkit and went ahead and bought the orange one. Like usual, it was a mistake because when it arrived, I looked at the drivers and thought I better put them out in my toolbox so I would know where they were when I needed them. Well, I opened up the drawer that I thought would be appropriate for them and then I see a brand new black set that I had previously purchased! Go figure huh? Anyways, maybe you should tell us dummies to first go look in our toolboxes before purchasing....

Don't worry about it. If you need a set now you have two sets. It'll increase your likelihood you can find one of them. Especially since one is orange. I have the problem in that people will barrow my tools and refuse to put them back where they belong. Some tools have been in the same spot 30 years. Nope, put it someplace else. If I say something, why am I getting upset?

Once you start collecting and time passes .. well it happens.. Or you know you have it and can't find it.. that happens too. So. I go get another and when i go to put it up where i think it belongs.. guess what? I find the other one I could not find before.. call it "loss consistency".. this year was a first, I actually bought a third and they were all identical socket sets. whelp when I die there'll be plenty to go around i guess... since they won't spoil :) SMDH!

Yap, I got so many screwdrivers, they won't fit in my new toolbox. Now I'll have to keep the old toolbox around for spares. It's like the guy said about the boat... A boat is a big hole in the water that you keep dropping money into. So is a toolbox. My Srm-222 is still flat head screwdriver friendly, Thank God. Chaplain Rodger DeRamus Tuscaloosa, Alabama

About 20 years ago I wish I had known this. I had a CHEAP weed eater brand trimmer that wouldn't run on full throttle. It caught me on a bad day and i got so mad after fighting that thing for so long i knew i was getting a new trimmer so i took that thing by the shaft and smashed it to pieces against my retaining wall. It made a mess but oh it felt SOOOOOO GOOOD!!!

Very informative.

thank you as usual chicka

Great content as usual

THANK YOU FOR THE VIDEO

Very interesting as usual

Epic video. Thankyou 🙏🙏

Great video of awesome advice. I was not aware of the new adjustments tools thanks for the knowledge and Link for the tool set.

This is valuable info thank you

On those "hidden plugs," what I've always done is heat a tiny flat head with a torch lighter and press it into the plug. Once it cools, I can slowly twist and pull and it will USUALLY come out. Notice I said "usually." Sometimes it gives me a headache. So THANK YOU for those part numbers! I knew that there was an actual tool for that, but I had no idea how to find them!

My Stihl BG55 wouldn’t run with choke open, so I took the rubber limiter caps off-threw them away- adjusted the carb & it runs great! All my yard tools are Stihl, except for my Echo edger, so a small screw driver works great!

I have a consumer Husq blower & trimmer. Thank you for the info!

Great video. Thanks. I watched a tutorial the other day and the guy used a tiny flathead screwdriver like you use to work on eye glasses. He would get the end hot with his portable torch and then press it into the rubber cap. Leave it there for a few seconds while the rubber cools and hardens again, pulls right out. I can't recall if he put it back in the opening after he did his tune up. However, It did seem to be his "go-to" way of removing them. May or may not help someone that doesn't have that specific tool available. Idk.. I just figured it was worth noting. Thanks again for your video. I like your format and the way you cover the information. Much appreciated.

Great video. Thanks

G'Day from Australia. Love your channel

For the limiter caps, you can just use any screw extractor kit. A few bucks. Easy to counter screw in, you just pull the extractor with a vicegrip. Love your videos. Thanks.

I really enjoy your videos very helpful and intresting thanks keep up the work

I took your advice last fall and pumped oil into my 16 year old 440 Husqvarna using the primer bulb. Ran fresh gas oil mixture through the carburetor and dumped out into a container. Added new gas fuel mix First pull on choke it fired. Put choke off and startled right up. I did the same with my Mantis tiller last fall. Should run good Thank You

Bought the black kit 2 years ago. Have used it many times.

I'm just here to say i love all of my echo equipment, my srm-2620 runs like freaking beast. Big fan of echo

Have a Poulan blower the fuel lines were f Junk. I bought a carburetor and kit. Replaced fuel filter, lines, and carburetor. It ran fine except for high speed, it would surge. I richened up the high spsome and it ran fine. That was 2 years ago and it still runs great. I use it all year so that may help as well.

I've got a troy buit and it uses the D type ... so I ordered the tool kit ... thanks ...

So freakin' helpful! Thanks, Chickanic!

Thanks kiddo. Explains a lot.

Perfect timing! Doing mine tomorrow. Thanks for the tips as always!👍 Oh, and I was lucky enough to order the black tool kit a few months ago...VERY handy.

Thanks for making sense of sometimes very confusing info.

I have to make those adjustment on a husky and use a little plastic hose that I ad, like 3/16 off an inch and this make my day

Good video.

I’ve had my Husqvarna 128LD for a little over 4 years now. The only thing I’ve had to do to it was adjust the L/H screws a little to get better throttle response and to fatten it up just a touch on the top end. I’ve repeatedly used this trimmer with the edger, pole saw, and mini tiller attachments that I have for it and it handles them just fine. I know it’s a homeowner trimmer with the braided steel driveshaft and not the solid steel. I work the trimmer fairly hard, but I don’t abuse it. Simple basic maintenance and it still runs like a top. I also pulled the muffler and the piston/rings and cylinder are well lubed and not one hint of scoring. The exhaust port and spark arrestor are also absolutely clean. All I’ve ever run through it is either Amsoil Saber, Echo Red Armor, or Husqvarna XP+ all mixed 40:1 with 90 octane ethanol free gas.

Use a small mechine screw to remove the plugs. Thanks for a great video !!

I picked up a $5.99 Pac Man adjuster for the Ryobi I inherited when an old client bailed. But your link to a 10pc set of them is good. As I was fueling the 5 year old Ryobi, the fuel line broke in half, helping me diagnose my problem by leaking. ;) And as you said, it didn't really need any adjustment once the fuel was easily had through the new fuel line.

I have a bolens blower that is acting just like this one, so I’ll try this tip in the morning. I will also check out your other video link just to be safe

Thanks👌
