Hello, could you explain the method that you use to test 7psi for 30 mins on a carb that is not attached to an engine. I would like to try this on a carb I have on my shelf to test the needle and seat. Carb is from B&S 356447-0200G1 18hp v-twin carb#843325, has fuel solenoid valve on bottom of...

I now have over 2k hours on this replacement engine set to 2850 WOT RPM and 1550 Idle speed. Set springs to match other equipment running at same RPM with same pumps. Very reliable engine with no issues. No issues with hydraulic components. Machine has 4944 hours total.

Great info again Thanks! Yes, Cub Cadet is a PIA. My father-in-law has a Yanmar tractor which had a partnership with Cub Cadet. What a nightmare trying to find anything. I always want to find the "why" before just replacing things. I hate just parts replacing. The guys tell me that I waste too...

I forgot to mention that along with the needle valve (797410) I replaced the fuel pump with a Brand-New OEM pump made in Japan from the dealer part number 597388. Is this pump supposed to have a diaphragm in it that stops flow from a gravity fed tank because it does not. Before I replace the...

This is great info and very helpful. I really appreciate your time! So you must have a special "dealer" access to sites to look up reference numbers?

Great info Thanks! How do I look up the build date code? I am using the B&S online store with the parts lookup tool. I have found with Toro machines sometimes on older model and serial numbers sometimes parts aren't listed so you have to look up the newest serial number in the model. Is this...

Greetings, I have a 18HP Vanguard B&S engine 350447-1331-E1 engine that drips gas randomly B&S carb number 843325. I checked the carb for debris and changed the needle valve out, but it will still leak on occasion. I assume the seat is worn and is not replaceable. I have not tried the "lapping...

Asked my local Echo dealer about if he has seen many bearing failures. He checked with his Echo representative about the bearings, and this was the representative's response: It is true that the bearings are only sealed on one side but when they are installed they are to be installed with the...

Yes, thank you for your reply. Going to order some of the 6001-2rs bearings from my supplier instead for the future. My bearing supplier just confirmed they only sell the ones with shields or seals anyway so good to go. I will be contacting Echo thank you. Surely, I am not the only one this is...

Yes sir. I do all of the above. However the problem is not the gearhead. It is the PTO bearings in the fan case. Item #9 in the photo. They cannot be greased without removing them. The PTO bearings come from the factory missing one seal with very little grease so once water gets in it's only a...

Greetings, Has anyone else had PTO bearing failures with newer Echo 2620 trimmers? We have an SRM 2620, SRM2620T, and 2 PAS 2620 that we run here with some older grey echo trimmers. The newer 2620 models seem to have PTO bearing failures very quickly. Our trimmers get used commercially and are...

Anyone have any info on what an Echo 755T backpack blower should be set at for Idle and WOT? Thanks

After using this for a bit I do like the loop handle. The unit is much heavier than the PAS system that I have with a chain saw attachment. The loop handle definitely comes in handy to hold it because of the weight. I have found that I use my PAS system with the chain saw attachment quite a bit...

Ordered a 2620 with the curved handle. Hope the learning curve is not too steep with the curved handle compared to the straight ones I have used.

Greetings, Looking to purchase a dedicated pole saw from Echo. I have narrowed it down to the 2620 curved handle and the 2620 straight handle. The only difference I can see is the throttle handle is curved on the 2620 and the 2620H is a straight weed trimmer handle. Are there any other...
