Hi All this is my 1st post

I have an Eco SRM-210 trimmer and it is running very slow and it is very hard to start. I did rebuild the carb even before I started the carb looked good. after the rebuild nothing changed, Still running slow. Oh yes I did add fresh gas/oil mix. Any ideas

Possibly spark arrestor screen in the muffler plugged, preventing exhaust from exiting.

Chances are like ILENGINE said The spark arrester needs to be cleaned. It's located on the side of the muffler and you'll have to remove the cover so you can get to the muffler. There's a small plate on the side of the muffler, remove the screws, it's just a screen under the plate that needs the carbon build up cleaned. Clean the screen with a small wire brush and reassemble. Shouldn't be a problem.

Also check the exhaust hole for carbon build up don't want any there also
