Only runs at full throttle

I have an older Echo SRM-210 Weed Whacker that's started giving me trouble. The issues were manageable but I decided to pull it apart and clean everything... now it's worse. Essentially, it will only start if I am giving it full throttle. Then, the RPM's will get very low and I'll have no power unless I close and open the choke several times in quick succession.

If I let go of the throttle even the tiniest bit, it dies instantly.

Thoughts?

WELCOME to LMF...

You say it is an older one... is it old enough to have the high & low adjusting screws on the carb?? :smile:KennyV

I don't have it in front of me right now, but I don't believe so. I think I bought it in '02 or so

Maybe the rings are shot. I've seen this on a few blowers and after consulting with a few others that was the conclusion. These units had seen alot of use.

And when did they stop putting the hi-low adjustments on them?
All the string trimmers we have in service have them and they're not that old. Have three saws less than two years old that have them.
