echo string trimmer fuel hose is 'riddled like swiss cheese' & won'trun (pic posted)
my echo string trimmer won't run for longer than ONE SECOND, no matter
-what- I do. one (of the three) fuel lines is riddled with numerous pinholes - the pinholes only "squirt out sideways everywhere" when the primer bulb is pushed. might those tiny holes ALONE cause it to be unable to run longer than a second? not at all clear to me which fuel line serves what purpose on this machine. "otherwise all conditions are good to go" on the dern thing. baffling. I posted a good clear captioned pic of this at http://machines.awardspace.com/echo_hose_questions/ are these tiny black fuel lines 'off the roll' stuff at mower shops? or is this a 'proprietary deal' type thing? thanks guys, toolie -- for replies by e-mail please remove the weirdstuff from my address before you click 'send'. thanks :-) -- |

You can use 'generic' fuel line of the correct size, but it must be approved for fuel (or it will dissolve or start a fire). |
