ECHO, Inc. PB-251C Handheld Blower Questions & Answers
Echo blower wont fire
you sheared the flywheel key... If it's a PB250 251 or something along those lines you are going to need a new carb and flywheel. Take it to the dealer and see if they can fix in under warranty... Why the carb you say, it leaked causing the flywheel to come loose. If it's not under warranty then do not repair, you can buy a new one for about $160 USD
My Echo PB-251 will not
have the carby overhauled
the pump diaphragm and the float diaphragm rot with the fuel ( especially if e-mix is used )
check that the primer bulb is soft and not cracked
Went to start bp251 blower
Take plug out turn blower to where plug hole is down pull starter cord many times until all fuel is out. Clean plug, install, try starting without priming or choking. If no start try priming just until you get fuel to engine. Try starting again. If this works when storing blower leave fuel cap slightly loose in very hot weather until you want to start.
My Echo PB-251 leaks gas
well 1st thing with the amount of alcohol that's in gas now days it's no longer a safe/good idea to store even for short time power tools with fuel in them , second are u sure its coming from exhaust or maybe near there ? reason I ask is that maybe there's a fuel hose that's leaking and it runs out near there , this needs attention as fuel could continue to leak out when tool is in operation as well , leaking hoses are a very common problem in todays power tools , from a 600 hundred dollar huskavarnia to a 40 dollar echo none of them make fuel hose they all buy them (probably from same place)
Echo Weed Eater bogs down.
Echo carbs have a little black plastic plug covering the High speed adj screw..CA air pulotion control bs..So get that little black blug out and give the screw a little turn open and u should be good to go..It worked for me..on a PBL 251 blower..My Echo weed wacker has the carb also..Go to Echos site and download the parts break down for your unit and look at the carb page..You will see the plug and HS,screw..happing wacking and blowing
How to install a throttle cable on an ECHO PB-251 blower
throttle cable ??? should actually have a throttle rod that goes to a very short piece of cable. and this cable only goes from the carb to the throttle rod. the cable is actually easy to replace. it's only 3 inches long. the throttle rod or trigger requires removal of one side of the handle.
Echo wont stay on
the most common problem i have seen with these small engines is wasp nests in the exhaust outlet
