I HAD A HC1500 COME IN SAME PROBLEM IT WAS CRANK SEALS WE ALWAYS VACUUM / PRESSURE TEST ANY 2 CYCLE THAT WILL NOT RUN WITH CARB ADJUSTMENTS JUST RULE OUT AIR LEAKS
Hi, I have this same hedge trimmer (HC1500) and it works the only problem is that around 10 minutes into the job while turning the trimmer vertically and back horizontally while trimming it dies out. I can restart it after a few pulls, but then the above scenario happens again. I've tried adjusting the H/L screws according to the carburetor instructions online, but it still behaves the same. Do I need a new carb??
@GenMata I know all about small engines i work for a mower shop fixing them all day, i have that bucket of carb cleaner. I havent messed with this one in a while i think ill just pick up a new carb at my job soon and stick it on there.

just clean it.. the one I had was sitting for years.
I bought a gallon of Carb cleaner in a bucket at at O'reilllys for $20 .
Took carb apart and soaked it for an hour.
Be sure to take diaphragm off.
the manual with idle adjustments are online for free at Echo-.Usa com works great now

@th19940305 Absolutely free Many people have given him old non-working engines to play with.
He has a John Deer/Echo 50V chain-saw he has had some problems with.
It's close to running. He is replacing the fuel line today.
