FIXING COMMON ISSUES WITH THE ECHO SRM 2620 WEED SNIPPER

[@nashguy207]

I had an issue with a 2620T earlier this year and after investigating it was that same intake gasket you replaced on this one but all the screws were still tight but the gasket was leaking and letting air in. Thanks for all you and share with us buddy!!

[@tc3603]

Never underestimate the importance of an intake gasket in the working of a two stroke. Great vid as usual

[@acaudioweddings]

Another thing that our SHINDAIWA 262 trimmers do (appear to be the same) is that they foul plugs often. Same 2 stroke mix as everything else and they foul em almost weekly. Factory plug is a CMR7H, I now use two heat ranges hotter CMR5H and have had no comebacks.

[@anthonyjones2674]

Mine is fouling plugs now

[@ErAcEr100]

@acaudioweddings Would a different fuel mixture solve this, or is it a natural occurrence due to design of the ports?

[@willssmallenginerepairllc5060]

Great tips! I'll have to look out for those on my 2620!

[@alwaysdirty155]

Yup.had 2 of these.both rattled the carb and intake assemblies loose in the first 2 weeks of operation.other than that, they've been absolute beasts,echo makes great trimmers.their smaller chainsaws and polesaws have more problems than a math book though.

Looks like a pretty new switch and grip. Great video

[@rogermcdonald1607]

Jeremy those employees are really hard on equipment, unless that trimmer is 50 years old. Lol. 👍🇺🇸Roger

[@davidtoney9933]

Thank you!

[@HuckBowlt]

I own one of those imo it has too much power for 095 gauge trimmer line I have a Shindaiwa 235 best trimmer I've ever picked up.

Thx mower medic

[@antoniomoody1161]

Thank you

[@christiereynolds1335]

Thanks

[@philliphall5198]

Yes thank You but parts number would have been really nice thing

[@Big_Johns]

Nice informative video MowerMedic, hey didn't you have hair the other day?? :)

[@zizoumonk10]

Can you please post a link to where to buy the gasket?

[@francislang5075]

good job

[@heathwilson2572]

The Mower Medic One I have Echo SRM 2620 I don’t have any issues with this trimmer I inspected everything and maintained every year I love my Echo SRM 2620

[@THEMOWERMEDIC1]

Good to hear just give those carb bolts a tighten for grins and giggles

[@heathwilson2572]

I had Echo SRM 225 I replaced that for Echo SRM 2620. SRM 225 doesn’t have enough power

[@joeraptor1]

Thanks for the great video. I have a Shindaiwa T262 (same as the 2620) that I bought last spring. It ran great at first. Then, in August, my dad dropped it off the back of his truck. The whole carb assembly came off and the carb was damaged. I had to replace the carb but it's never run correctly since. I had to go back 5 times to the dealer. They claimed air was getting into the tank and put some sort of a sealant on it. But it still doesn't run right. When you go pull the trigger, it stalls a bit. Then, as you're working with the trimmer and it warms up, the same thing happens especially when you flip it upside down. Is there a fix to this? If there's not, I'd rather cut my losses and get a new tripper as I had to pay $180 to replace the carb plus the $450 I paid for it. That's Canadian dollars. Thanks.

[@davidsolis2149]

Did you fix it? I have the same problem

[@joeraptor1]

@@davidsolis2149 Nope. Sold the machine and bought a new Shindaiwa T262. No problems with that one so far.

[@andybecker2693]

Just checked mine and they were a little loose. I also noticed that a mouse had chewed my choke lever and it is broken but still working. Just ordered a new filter base. He also got my return line. Little bastard! At least the filter base was only $7 and change. I had some fuel line so that wasn’t a big deal.

[@Jim-ie6uf]

Mouses are a real pita

[@Robsenginerepairs]

Nice vid brother nice Strimmer

[@ricksanchez3176]

First... (Just trying to make you feel that YT stardom) :)

[@Brendan6602]

Check every screw on the trimmer they all come loose from my experience and not just the srm it happens on the hca 2620 too

[@benji991]

Hello I have a SRM2620 it works fine the only thing is that it doesn’t turn off with the switch (on/off) I have to flip the switch to cold start in order to turn it off. Any recommendations?

[@THEMOWERMEDIC1]

Simple diagnostic, test switch with VOM. all the switch does is ground the ignition coil

[@jh7538]

Probably figured it out already but try spraying some lubricant or cleaner in the switch and turn on an off a bunch of times to clean the contacts.

[@scotttilbert8141]

At 5 minute mark that is the flat screw for metal.

[@janedoe928]

why does the string spinner head keep spinning when I don't push the ignition button?I've replace the carburetor pre your video as well as the spark plug, gas filter and air Filter and it continues to spin. SRM 2620

[@dsim3211]

Carb needs adjusting. Either the idle screw is too fast or the air fuel mixture is off.

[@717790]

If you had your choice between Echo or Stihl what would you choose

[@mrpotatoheadracing]

Stihl, FS94R.

[@philliphall5198]

Hird hands are hard on lawn equipment and they really abuse them They cost twice what you pay them in repairs

[@angelozicarelli541]

Is this a good weed eater? I just bought one

[@robertkenney6002]

Not sure what you did with taking the intake manifold off…? You took 2 screws out than started putting them back in? Explain?

[@adamdorris4081]

Grrrrrrr.....
