Echo HC-1500 Hedge trimmer- Doesnt run good- Bought new carb for it

This Is a Echo HC 1500 Hedge trimmer i bought for $80 off ebay a year ago and now it doesnt work wright. I needed to rebuild the carb but for the same price i just bought a brand new carb for it. I will make another video once i get the carburetor for it and install it, it should work good.
Just some advice when buying used equipment make sure it runs good and isnt more than 5 years old or else youll spend too much money on fixing it.

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 if he has any problems ask me

[GenMata]

@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.

simple job

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.
