Echo SRM-210 Weed Trimmer / Restoration / Breakdown and Cleaning

[@jessieandwhitney]

The dramatic music was on point lol, I couldn't stop watching it.

[@rollyherrera623]

Way better than an AR-15 teardown; Almost....Thank You!

[@Lawntism]

Haha! Thanks Rolly. I’m sure the AR-15 is much more enjoyable. But there’s just something about getting a piece of equipment running again!

[@JaronPope]

THIS is how it is done. Great video brother.

[@1975oldschool]

Great video man!

[@Lawntism]

Thank you! I really appreciate that. Thanks for watching and supporting my channel. 🤙🏻

[@googlinstuff8910]

excellent vid, you really did a good job on that trimmer!

[@MeisterofMyLawn]

Great video! Watching things get restored is so great and you did a great job.

[@kma5699]

I was really looking forward to seeing it being put back together and seeing the end result. My mind was spinning knowing if/when i do this to a SRM210 I just bought, that once I get half way broken down I’ll forget how to get it back together…

[@Lawntism]

Thanks for checking it out. Watch my next video on the channel for how I put it back together.

[@patrickrutherford1934]

Ok

[@russellrhew591]

Thanks for the video, but with respect, taking it apart is easy. Putting it all back together is the tough part and where I need help.

[@Lawntism]

I completely agree! Everything is easier to take apart. Haha! But I did another video after of reassembling it. Hope you found it!

[@jrblandscapingandsnowplowi4935]

Oldie but goodie, I still have a Grey srm260t that really just needs a carb. Nice job brother #LETSGETIT

[@johncravens9032]

Cherrybomb unit there its apparently very slightly used and well maintained. Looks like its been sitting and probably has a clogged up carburetor due to ethanol exposure like all of em. Very inexpensive fix even with the head replacement. Good luck!

[@123idontcareok]

No after shots? No part number on a new bump head?

[@Lawntism]

I have another video on my page of the reassembly.

[@johne.davies6379]

Is that an air jet you keep pulling over your shoulder? So I would need a compressor to do the job?

[@Lawntism]

It is a compressor. I only used it to quickly dry off the parts. You do not need it. You can simply let them air dry or wipe dry.

[@ChrisXOutdoors]

Bro.. the lighting is awesome. What are you using?

[@Lawntism]

Lol I actually have a "ring light" that my wife got me for Christmas. I also upgraded the one light bulb in my garage to one of those multi-directional LED bulbs. Thanks!

[@ChrisXOutdoors]

@@Lawntism I have a couple of the multidirectional ones also.. love them. Nice video Brian!

[@ellenhannemann3874]

Wished you would have slowed down taking the wheel/head off.

[@rockroller541]

Very helpful 😊

[@jameslawnmowerrepair]

Really enjoyed this video I also have an echo srm210 and I love it but it was pre-owned so its partially worn out and I never got around to rebuilding the engine but it still works fine

[@dianafenick6266]

Did you find or deal with a lot of carbon build up on the inside of the muffler? What did you use to clean that out -- I see you avoided getting anything on the inside of the muffler. Mine happens to have a lot of both carbon build up and fuel/oil mix, so I am not sure I can soak it and if I do, in what?

[@Lawntism]

Yeah, I avoided soaking or getting anything on the inside. I just sprayed some of that purple Super Clean degreaser on the outside. Let it soak for a bit, and then used a fine metal scrub pad and brush to clean off the build up.

[@reubenluna6888]

Great video! I am also restoring a echo 210 for the 1st time. However I'm at a stopping point because one of the hex screw on the housing assembly is stripped. I even used an extractor, unfortunately is didn't work because the area is to norrw. Any suggestions on how to get that one out? I seen you had a dewalt hex key set...the hex screws are so rusted and old on my echo srm 210.

[@Lawntism]

Honestly, I was soaking a lot of the screws and bolts with WD40 before taking them off. There were some I would let sit for even a day or two, depending on how stubborn they were. Try something like that to help loosen up that rust.

[@Striperman]

Is first Striperman a thing :)

[@Lawntism]

You can certainly make it a thing! 😎

[@Striperman]

@@Lawntism Haha. Looking forward to the completion. Great job on the breakdown and cleaning video.

[@MatsDawson]

Is second a thing?

[@Lawntism]

Second is a thing, unless you're competing, then it isn't! Lol 🤙🏻

[@MatsDawson]

@@Lawntism haha you're either first or last.

[@melonboi186]

The Legendary Echo SRM-210 Is one of the Greatest Trimmers Ever Made because they are extremely reliable If you take care of them, I have one and it has lasted 17 Years and it starts first pull and runs like new, sadly today I fear the worst is yet to come because it was a little bit easier to pull today and I fear it’s time might be alone it and it might have low compression and might be ready to go to trimmer heaven soon Edit: I’m actually really sad because my family took such good care of it and maintained it well

[@nathanaguiar7264]

That's a cap this thing refuses to start.

[@melonboi186]

@@nathanaguiar7264 you didnt take care of it

[@francoamerican4632]

Pretty sure you can still get parts for the SRM-210. It wouldn't be that hard to repair it & it would be a fun and rewarding project but when you factor in time spent repairing it and cost of parts it's likely more cost effective to chuck it and buy a new one.

[@TheLawngineer]

First!

[@Lawntism]

Vince holding that title strong! Thanks for always supporting me! 🤙🏻

[@victorrippe5845]

Wow i have an old grey echo srm230 ive had for over 20 years and ive been offered $200 for it why are people offering top dollar for these old Trimmers and i also have a srm210 thats also over 20 years old ive been offered $125 they both still run great and they have been used commercially all this time you can't kill them as long as you use Echo oil

[@jonnysnipes3123]

I think it’s because it’s grey lol when echo went back to orange I just missed the grey model and finally found one left in stock so I snagged it. I really liked the grey color better tbh

[@hugorosales7180]

Great video my friend , hope you learn spanish to make it on spanish . Just kidding

[@louiegarcia7527]

violin going is so annoying

[@Lawntism]

I know, right?!
