HUZTL Carburetor for ECHO GT225 GT225i GT225L PAS225 PE225 PPF225 SHC225 SRM225 SRM225U Trimmer with Repower Maintenance Kit Spark Plug

This was an exact replacement for my Echo PAS-225 edger. It installed easily, started right up, and ran perfectly. I have bought several different carburetors of this brand and they all worked well. The accompanying lines and parts seem to be decent quality.

I ordered two echo carburetters I only got one the other one just had gaskets in it

My dads Echo trimmer was running like crap...it would start, but would spit and sputter, wouldn't idle nor rev up and would die completely on acceleration. He was told the priming bulb and gas lines were faulty and needed replacement. He purchased a kit at Lowes that contained the fuel lines, priming bulb, fuel line grommet for $18 and had it installed. After replacement, the problem still existed. He has ran gas that contained ethanol, a big no no for small engines since it is very unstable, damages the fuel lines and the metal components in the carburetor. Frustrated, he asked me if I could help him with it. I first checked the screen in the muffler to ensure it wasn't blocked with debris or soot causing it to choke out...a very common on many brands of small engines. It was clearly evident the carburetor needed rebuilt. So I looked up the parts needed to rebuild it, which was nearly $40 at the local small engine repair center. After a little research, I located this kit. I was VERY skeptical of this kit because it contained the carburetor, air filter, gaskets, fuel lines, fuel filter, tank grommet, and spark plug for less than he paid just for the priming bulb and fuel line kit. After looking at the reviews, most of which were very positive, I ordered the kit. With Prime, the kit arrived in 2 days. The carburetor was simple to install which took about 10 minutes. This included installing the new spark plug, grommet and fuel lines, the gaskets and air filter. I purchased new gas [ethanol free] and mixed synthetic 2 cycle oil at the recommended 50:1 ratio and filled the tank. I pushed the priming bulb 3 times, turned the run switch on, applied the choke and pulled the starter cord. It fired on the second pull! I turned the choke off and the trimmer idled perfectly with no further adjustment needed. It accelerated perfectly to full speed and returned to a perfect idle when the trigger was released. The trimmer has been used for over a month [about 20 hours of run time] and runs perfectly with absolutely no adjustments necessary. I've read reviews concerning the fitment of the gaskets and issues with the fuel lines. If you order the correct kit [using the serial number is critical to ensure you get the correct kit], the kit matches up perfectly. Second, the instructions are VERY specific concerning the use of gas containing ethanol...DON'T use it. If you can not find ethanol free gas, use a gas stabilizer made for 2 cycle engines along with the 2 cycle oil. This will offer some protection to the fuel lines and the metal components in the fuel circuit. I have no reservations about recommending this kit. The fit was perfect, installation is very simple, operation is perfect without any further adjustments to the idle or run circuits and the value is outstanding.

Good replacement for my ehco trimmer.

All I can say is wow! I have rebuilt this Echo SRM-225 a few times and I have struggled with the carbs that in those other kits with leaking and not running smoothly. My last kit, the carb leaked really bad. This install was easy and everything went together as expected. I also changed out the fuel tank too. The hose grommet was the correct size and fit snugly into the tank. The gaskets fit perfectly and no issues putting it back together. I was astonished when I put the choke on and it started on the second pull! Ran smoothly at idle and at top speed. It had a fuel to air needle adjustment and once it was warm I found that it was already adjusted where it needed to be. Got my old non leaking running perfect weed trimmer back again! Great kit! I didn't use the spark plug it came with, since I already had an NGK plug in it and didn't want to use the "knock-off" brand supplied. i'll keep it as a spare.
