Hmm, my manual cold start says something different... doesn't say move the choke lever after the "burp".. I must have been flooding it... I will try this and hope it works better cause now I'm NOT happy, lol. My manual also says push that little bulb pump 8X's not 5-6... Yep! I push the bulb 5x's... 8x's is flooding it. So this guy's procedure works perfectly! That's crazy that the manual's starting procedure makes the product look bad... ya'll really need to correct that... works perfectly now.
Surprised nobody corrected this comment after 3yrs . . . 🙄 He fills gas container halfway ( Really Unnecessary) to only help mix oil bottle, [ Then fills with gas to 1 gallon level] Thus, 🙄 if you been paying attention, 1 Gallon to 1 Oil Bottle. For those with short term memory issues..... Oil Bottle has instructions.
Dear Echo dealer/mfg, the loop handle on that GT-225 is about the worst design imaginable. It spins on the shaft (~0.895" dia.) no matter how much one tightens that butterfly nut. (I dare not tighten it with pliers [too much], lest I damage the handle). ¿Why oh why this loop handle? ¿Why not a one like the SRM-225 has, robust, much less prone to twisting on the shaft? ¿Was this a cost-down for a US marketed domesticated product? This GT-225 loop handle totally fails. And one cannot even use the SRM-225's handle, as this machine's tube is larger: ~0.990"-0.9875" dia. If you know of a work-around, please advise. Thank you. tonyd\.
why doesn't anyone make weed eaters for Left handers... or make it to wear the parts on the product are in a neutral spot and not everything on the left side so your right hand 👎🏿 is free..
What's with these vids with "Ear protection?" Safety glasses adding fuel to a tank? lol. Everything today is based on safety, a "airbag society" if you will. Ridiculous. Use eye protection long pants and go....
I've had trimmers for years and never knew how to restring one until I saw this video! Wow! How easy it was.
How did you own one but never have to restring it?
HAVE HAD MANY PROBLEMS WITH MY ECHO STRING TRIMMER. FINALLY DUMPED IT AFTER A SHORT TIME OF USE
I use the ready made none ethanol fuel. It's expensive but worth it.
It won't mess up the carburetor.
I have a Echo SRM225

Awesome thank you so much
Does Echo recommend that the string trimmer should always be used at full throttle?
The only time that I have had to pull the rope more than once on my Echo was when I had left the power switch off.
I've had my gt-225 for about an hour it sucks have to stop every minute to put line in it
Echo Speed Feed 400 trimmer head will fix that.
Ben Robles can’t put it on
You need to replace the user. 😂
Try using a thinner line. That worked for me but still a pain in the ass so make sure you put extra line in your pocket!
The one style of loading string is a pain, can O change trimmer heads?
Buy an Echo Speed Feed 400 trimmer head for a curved shaft trimmer.
So, if you fill the 1 gal can half way... 1/2 gal. to one oil bottle = 50 : 1
just want to make it clear.

How tall are you btw? I want to make sure it's not to short so I dont end up with a hurting back everytime I cut my grass
Ha, you can see the little gas can leaks! I bought "No Spill" brand from Home Depot... they appear to work very well!
Hallo🙂🖐Echo model 222ES?
I bought one of these based on a recommendation. The head broke right away, and now I can’t feed the line.

Music is way too loud. It’s really not needed at all.

Never mind, I see you topped it off to 1 gal. / lol oops!
non Ethanol Gas, Over winter store empty/ run all the gas out... You will solve 75% of most problems.
informative but let the guy express himself and not sound like a robot
