Echo PB500H pack blower. Installing a new carb. Will this fix it?

[@RaleysSmallEngines]

Great Job! Yes sir, I only trust my gas. Thanks for the shout out my friend.

[@gravelyman]

Thanks again for all your help T-Bone. I should of paid more attention to the owner when he talked about his father inlaws gas. Thanks for your support and Thanks for watching brother!!!

[@rogermcdonald1607]

Good information Artie. I dont trust anybody's 2 stroke fuel. That gas was way over mixed and it could be old also. I would put a new NGK plug in it and a little Seafoam in the fuel and call it a day. Good video and lesson. 👍🇺🇸Roger

[@gravelyman]

Thank you Roger. I should have paid more attention to when the owner said he put his father inlaws gas in. We originally had the machine fixed in part 1 of the series. As long as we fixed it I'm happy. Thanks for watching!!!

[@TheRustyRooster]

BINGO... always dump the gas and start with known good gas. Great job sir.

[@gravelyman]

I should have paid more attention to him about his father inlaws gas. But it fixed again now lol. Thanks for watching brother!!!

[@JaLynHarris-f6b]

I think that the Echo PB-500H needs a new walbro carburetor and Echo Red Armor Fuel to fix it.

[@fixitorstripitGardenmachines]

At the end of the day you got to the bottom of things and it now works as it should. Also i will now change the fuel in stuff that comes into me. At least you still had a big smile in the last minute.

[@gravelyman]

As long as we figure it out sooner or later. I should have paid more attention to when the owner said he put his father inlaws gas in. I had the machine fixed in part 1 of the series. Thanks for watching Neil 👍

[@Robsenginerepairs]

Hey nice fix brother enjoyed the watch

[@gravelyman]

Thanks Rob, I'm glad you enjoyed it and Thanks for watching brother!!!

[@freedommowers420]

Good stuff Artie. It’s the little stuff sometimes that can really stump us. I’m sure now with a new carb,plug, and fuel it will be ready to run for a long time.

[@gravelyman]

Yes Alex. I should of paid more attention to the owner when he mentioned his father inlaws gas. My bad but at least it's fixed now. Thanks for watching brother!!!

[@freedommowers420]

@@gravelyman it certainly happens. I’m sure I would have done the same. Glad to see it running Artie. I’m sure that one was a headache after all that time.

[@tinkeringtaylor3053]

Nice one Artie these things are sent to try us, fuel looked like engine oil

[@gravelyman]

Lol I know Nev. This can drive us crazy sometimes. I hope everything is getting sorted okay at home. Thanks for watching brother!!!

This 'Echo 2-strok- engine has three intake ports on the cylinder and each port has a designated reed, any one of which if slightly loosing pressure will result in bad performance not easily identified.... Testing all 3 reeds only takes a minute when the carb is off: Use a short piece of 1/2 'hose and draw negative pressure with your mouth through each one of the 1/2" ports, it literally takes a minute to check... There should be ZERO leakage even if a little negative leak it's bad....Check this first and in the repair you'll feel more confident.. Also this 'Echo carburetor is old school with both high and low speed needle valve adjustments for that smooth transition in between High/ low rpm's. Doing these two things is a great foundation for a good diagnoses

[@gravelyman]

Thanks for your input. I think it turned out to be bad gas on this one. Thanks for watching 🔧👍

[@gspa072]

Great video thank you. Where did you buy the carb replacement from? Can you include link for the carb replacment?

[@stumpyssmallengines]

nice video artie

[@gravelyman]

Thank you and Thanks for watching!!!

[@brentmcmillan646]

Great video! Amazing what the right fuel mixture will do. I absolutely refuse to use any ethanol gas in my small gas engines whether it’s a 2 stroke or 4 stroke. The only thing I use is straight premium 91 unleaded and I don’t have any problems.

[@gravelyman]

Thank you. The problem here is that ethanol free gas is unavailable here. Thanks for watching!!!

[@Big_Johns]

Good job Artie, that fuel mix did look a tad funky.

[@gravelyman]

Yes it was. The owners gas was fine on part 1 and I fixed the problem but when he put his father inlaws gas in trouble again. Thanks for watching!

[@Big_Johns]

Patrick should be happy now and anytime bud. 👍🏼

[@opmphoto]

Can you do my blower???? you did a great job.

[@gravelyman]

Sorry I don't do outside repair anymore but Thanks for watching 👍

[@tchogworks1987]

These echo backpack blowers has given echo a reputation of not being reliable with the guys I know that has bought them. Home Depot had the pb580t for $399. Worst piece of equipment I’ve own in 30 years. It ran ok the first month or so . After that it’s been nothing but I can’t even say how many coils that’s been replaced. Which echo has a lifetime warranty on the coils . Last time it was in the shop it had compression issues and had to replace the cylinder and piston. Lasted less than 2 weeks . My stihl 550 is 10 years old without 1 issue. I’ve got 4 echo weed eaters and never much of any problems out of them . If I was a manager in echo corporation I’d drop the backpack products all together

[@gravelyman]

Thanks for your input and Thanks for watching 🔧👍

[@Turningwrenches85]

You know I never thought about the fuel but when you showed that bottle of what the fuel look like how dark it was I thought that was the ploblem.

[@gravelyman]

Hello John. We had this fixed 3 weeks before this happened. Then the put his father inlaws in and problems again. Thanks for watching!!!

Nice job you got it !!!

After a month of misery lol. Thanks for watching Henry!

[@kbssmallenginerepair2615]

Nice one Artie! It always comes down to bad fuel in one way or another. Or so it seems…

[@gravelyman]

It's messed up that I fixed the intermittent bogging 3 weeks before this problem because of the owners father inlaws gas. I guess you never know. Thanks for watching Kyle!!!

[@GrampiesWorkshop]

How's she goin'? This was interesting. The after market carbs are hit and miss for sure I find, but for the most part I think they're decent. One of the things I find about 2 strokes is that many things can contribute to the failure. In this case it could have been carb issues as well as poor fuel. You did a nice job sticking with this till you got it going though. Take care!!!

[@gravelyman]

Hello Grampie The funny thing about this one is we had it fixed 3 weeks before until the owner put his father inlaws gas in. Thanks for watching!!!

[@7orate]

Wrong bracket on throttle

[@STTC]

Ok, let’s have another look at this Arty, typing as I watch. Nice box of bits, what the hell is this? are you kidding me 🤣🤣 not a great start. T-Bone getting a thankyou, nice one. Hope I get a mention 🤣🤣 I have put alot of time into this blower.. Brand new plug, nice. Oh here we go, T-Bone this, T-Bone that 🤣🤣. Oh ken got a mention too, maybe I’m next. T-Bone mentioned again 🙄. Who’s Patrick? never heard of him. T-Bone mentioned again!! I’m fast going off him. If you mention @Rusty Rooster I’m switching off. 🙄 T-Bone mentioned again, I’m unsubscribing from him now and giving him a thumbs down. Leave those 2 screws alone, I knew that, I bet T-Bone told you to take them out 🤣🤣. Make your mind up Arty, tipped up or not 🤣🤣. looks fiddly with that carb gasket. That carb and gasket would be in my next door neighbour’s garden by now, no patience. Great video Arty lesson learned

[@gravelyman]

LOL 😂. I mentioned you when I said thanks to all commenters. Next time I will mention you by name 😂. All kidding aside I really appreciate your support and Thanks for watching brother!!!
