ECHO SRM 225 Carburetor Replacement

I was having problems with my ECHO SRM-225 weed eater carburetor, so I decided to try replacing it to see if it would work. In this video I show how easy it is to replace the carburetor, it took less than 5 minutes to actually replace it and get it running, and now it is running like it is new again. I will update the comments if I have any issues with the new carb.

This kit works with the following ECHO string trimmer / weed whacker / weed eater models:
GT225
GT225i
GT225L
PAS225
PE225
PPF225
SHC225
SHC225S
SRM225
SRM225i
SRM225SB
SRM225U

3 years ago and now this video is going to help me as well, as long as they still sell this package. You made it look so easy, now I will try, what the heck, what damage can I do, :)

And to think I used to pay 125 dollars at the lawnmower shop to replace my carb's. Thank God for you tube and people like you who make these videos.

My trimmer had been running rough for a while so I watched this video, changed the carburetor, and now it is running fine. Excellent and helpful video.

I just got my kit from Amazon $17.99 ready to put in on after watching your video, very easy to do .
Thanks !!! 👍👍👍

Thank you!!! I could not have done the replacement without your help!!!

Thank you so much! Local small engine shop wanted to charge me $175 for parts and labor to do this. You masterfully explained every step, part, and tool throughout the whole process.

Thanks. After years of dealing with leaking, rebuilding the carb for a temporary improvement I finally dropped the $12 for a new carb from Ebay. Best money I have spent in years. Appreciate the video. Echo should fix these instead of leaving their customers to do it. I got more gas leaking out of my Echo SRM230 than I can get out of my government mandated gas can!

I was going to buy just fuel lines for a ECHO dealer and they were almost $30. Instead I bought this kit that has everything for $20. It has everything carburetor, sparkplug, 2 extra primer bulbs, gaskets, and fuel lines. It works great and easy to put on thanks to the video.

I just wanted to say thank you. Your 9-minute video and another 10-minutes of my time to install the new carb and my trimmer started right up.

Excellent video. Just received the identical kit from Amazon . Going to take the iPad out into the shop and follow step by step. Will let you know….

Very well done, great camera shots . Just got my carb and kit . It was rated as least amount of returns by Amazon . Paid $16 for the whole thing

Thank you so much for this awesome video! I tried most every other fix that was within my skill set and changing the carburetor was the trick! Easy install and your video made it incredibly seamless. Thanks so much! My backyard will now bend to my will again haha!

Great video ! Very clear instruction.

My GT-225 was leaking gas through the carb and out the air filter. After installing the new carb there are no longer any leaks. It took a few pulls to get it started the first time but now it's running better than ever. It's nice when you can solve a problem for less than $20.

Your video is very informational and your step by step process will help a lot of people. Thank God for somebody that's given good instructions!!

Awesome, thanks brother! I got that same twenty dollar kit(which now also comes w two air filters). So great to not have to soak and rebuild, and your camera angle and steps are crystal clear. Cheers.

ETA: Considering that those carb screws are low torque, I found that the right size flathead screwdriver cautiously applied does just fine on the torx heads and you don't have to get in touch w whoever has borrowed all of your specialty bits.

Thank you for this well done instructional video. I used this to replace the carburetor on my Echo SRM 225 trimmer and your instructions were dead on and it took me about 30 minutes to complete the job, not to mention how much money I saved by doing it myself.

[djc]

Great step by step video! I followed it to completion, and even used your link to buy the parts. My Echo 225 is back up and flying. Many thanks for posting!

[Bennett_Lab]

Had same problem with same trimmer. Just ordered the carburetor and look forward to installing it tomorrow. Thanks!! Great video

Thank you. Got the same kind of replacement part and succeeded in one shot. The step of removing the throttle body cable by twisting the direction is very helpful.

[barbaramulvey]

That was PERFECT! I was so nervous about changing everything but your video was excellent! You just saved me $100!
