The 25cc ones? I always wondered how they were. They were to
close to the husky in price so I went orange.
Havent read this but has the 8 popular hand held ones.

For many years I've had a Echo PB2400 hand held blower that I
like very well. I had to put a metering valve diaphragm, fuel
lines, and primer bulb in it about 4 years ago. I probably
should put a new grommet in the tank for the vent and fuel
lines? It seeps around the edges a little.
I also have a matching SRM2400 straight shaft whacker as my
favorite over the several Stihl FS55R's I have. This Echo has
had the same rubber problems with the fuel system as the Echo
blower.
These Echos are somewhere around 17-18 years old. The 24cc
engine is a real torque engine but was discontinued some years
ago for EPA reasons when they brought out the new engines.

I have one of the Craftsman leaf blowers. I got it for free
because it had low compression. Turns out it had a stuck ring.
Tore all down clean it and put it all back together and did
not have to replace any gaskets or anything. That was 2 years
ago and still running good.

I had two Craftsman blowers and the daughter in law straight
gassed them both. They worked as well as my Echo until their
end.

started number 2 clean looked new 2014 epa sticker . showed 60
pounds compression. removed muffler side cover. was able to
remove cylinder by clipping a little plastic to make room for
allen wrench. cylinder is chrome piston looked ok . now what i
did next might be stupid i heated top of piston with propane
torch not a lot but ring turned loose. let it cool put it in
ultrasonic parts cleaner. don't know if i changed hardness of
piston or ring . rind was only stuck with bad gas goo not
aluminum. I guess test run will tell if this method is stupid.
update when i test it ???

compression 110 pound. put in fresh mix pulled a dozen times
fired off . let it warm up adjusted h screw she ran good. I
will run it a few more times but I think it's gonna be fine.
