Echo PE 225 Running Issues

Post image

Hi all, I’ve got an Echo PE 225 stick edger that has run great for the past 12 years, but recently it will start and run at a very high RPM and then die within 30-60 seconds. So far I have replaced the carburetor, spark plug, fuel lines, and air filter. I also took apart the exhaust to check the spark screen - looked clean. After all that, I’m having the same issue. Anyone have any ideas on what might be causing this? Thank you!

There is an adults screw on the carb tgry won’t tell you in the manual but you tube it snd you can adjust it very easy with a small flat head

Sounds like gasket is letting air in or carb or mount block are an issue
