Greetings,
A while back I was at my neighborhood dump and found a old Echo GT-225 trimmer (all grey) in the dumpster. It didn't look too bad and had compression so I brought it home. I found that the gas line was leaking and replaced it with a repower kit along with a primer bulb. it also needed a new trimmer head which I had a brand new one that I installed. It started right up and ran great and I use it quite often. This is my third Echo trimmer that I have. The other two are straight shafts.
My question is if there is a straight shaft available for this model? The motor has great power but the curved shaft to me is annoying. I have no problem pulling it all apart myself to install a straight shaft.
Thanks for any replies.
