Have an Echo 210 blower that runs fine at idle (and for a long time), but as soon as throttle is applied, bogs and quits.
I’m just getting into small engine repair, have done a lot of reading - no experience, but this one has me stumped so far. Not good for my first project.
Here is what I’ve done:
- Did tune up - replaced spark plug, fuel lines, and new carb (C1U-K78) Single fuel setting - 2 turns out from closed.
- Checked tank pressure - still does with cap off tank. Also took fuel filter off and does better with it off. Not the filter since it’s brand new and I’ve tried multiple ones.
- Compression pressure is at 90psi after 5 pulls. No leaks - pressure maintains after 5min. I’ve done a lot of reading on what a good pressure is and it almost seems to be a religious argument ;-).
- Checked exhaust - screen looks good, no blocks.
- Gaskets around manifold and carb all look good.
This machine is just not getting enough fuel at WOT. Any ideas would be appreciated.
