I have an Echo GT 200CE trimmer that is about 28 years old. It has served me well, except for fuel tanks cracking. I have only used Echo oil in it and non-ethanol gas. I rebuilt the carburetor, a Walbro WA-143-1, about 4-6 months ago and it was running good. I would choke the engine and pull 3-4 times and then unchoke it and it would start on the 1st or 2nd pull. Recently, it would start to die when I released the throttle and I would have to pull on the gas to keep it running. Now a couple days ago I could not start it. I took the spark plug out and it was dry. I then took the carburetor off and apart and it too appeared dry. For some reason it doesn't seem to be getting fuel. From reading various threads getting a new carburetor for it seemed like a good choice. Unfortunately, they don't make them anymore.
When I took the carburetor apart the screen appeared to look clean and the carburetor overall all looked clean. You thoughts and suggestions on how to approach this problem are greatly appreciated. Thanks. Rob
