Hi. Got echo pb8010 in for repair. Wouldn't start.
Cleaned carb. Reconnected bottom hose the the clearer hose and new fuel filter. New spark plug. Started fine.
However when I took the spark plug boot off the boot came away from the lead. Put the lead back in the hole as best as I can by pushing it. Started fine.
However it can run very well and normal. It then it bogs down a bit.
Had a lot of smoke initially from exhaust. Think machine has been left outside for a bit.
Wondering why it would run rough on occasion?
Ticks over fine.

Well you need to post which one you have.

But if it has the wire spring at the end of the high tension lead then lead should be clip off a little and wire spring install in a new location making sure you hit the center conductor. Also you need to re-tune the carb after you install repair kit. Don't re-use old gaskets and diaphragms.
