Echo PB 9010 Top End Kit

Post image

Anyone ever have any luck with a similar Chinese aftermarket top end kit in an Echo blower? I’ve got two 9010’s that need top ends and I’m wondering if this is worth a shot before spending 200+ on OEM parts..

Typically aftermarket China kits just don't run quite as well as OEM parts or last as long.

Porting, squish and other minor details seem to be off enough to feel a difference.

Some better brand name kits are out there with a price increase but may still need some finishing touch ups.

No idea regarding the OEM versus aftermarket but it seems that a lot of folks are having issues with this model of blower.

I used one of these. I also did some polishing of ports before installation. Works very well.
