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...

I did measure the mounting holes on the bottom of the block on the K241 and K341 and they are similar. The size of the engines seem similar as well but the oil pans are different. I could modify or rebuild the old engine but am looking for simplicity here. If that exists.

Greetings, I have a 1982 John Deere 210 that has a K241 engine. This machine has sat for a few years now and the mice got into it something bad. Before sitting I would use this mower occasionally for mowing and fall cleanups. When it ran it was a bit smokey but not terrible. Now after cleaning...

Greetings, I was hoping that someone here could help me out. I have a Toro Greensmaster mower that uses a 18HP V-Twin vanguard engine that I believe may have a solenoid problem. I have tested these before in the past but I can not remember how to do so. I have looked in the service manual and...

Greetings, Last weekend I came upon a used Echo CS-4600 Echo chain saw at a swap meet. It looked to be in decent shape and had a tag on it "pops but doesn't run" ($45). Upon pulling it a few times I indeed got it to pop a few times but did not run. A few hours later of thinking about it and I...

Greetings, I have a B&S 18hp V-twin model 350447 type 1116-E1 code 00021111. This is stuffed into a Toro Sandpro 5020. There is very little room to remove the starter bolts. Along the way someone used the wrong bolts stripping the starter mounting threads on the engine. I am going to try to use...

Greetings, I was curious what the factory recommended idle speed and wide open throttle speed is of a Echo PB-250LN hand held leaf blower. Also what is the recommended way to adjust if they are not within spec. Thanks for your input Sean

Greetings, I found an old Echo PAS 2400 (507422) on the back shelf of my workplace that had been sitting for some time. The fuel lines had a pin hole in them so I replaced them all with 90097Y fuel system kit after talking to my dealer. Added some fresh mixed gas and a clean up and she fired...
