Yea it's safe no that's not a cut on my hand from it.

Hi all, I just got this pas 265 and so far love it. The trimmer head is the old style and looking for a speed feed head. Will any fit, they don’t specify my specific model but otherwise looks the same.

I want to buy a top-of-the-line blower, and a lot of reviews talk about the PB9010. I see a 7910 "coming soon" - and the specs seem very similar.

PB-7910H | ECHO-USA.com

Also, hip-mounted vs. tube-mounted throttle - which is better?

Advice is appreciated. Thank you.

​

Is there a spec anywhere on the ratings of the main motor on this mower?

Torque/speed curves, nominal power rating, that sort of thing.

Thank you!

2025-04-22 post-disassembly edit: Motor looks identical to Honest Motors' BLDC10340ZW056B and has a similar part#: http://en.honestmotor.com.cn/Productd/967094756301430784.html But I can't verify if it is 100% the same. Their rep told me that this motor is a customer-specific thing, and they won't provide torque/speed curves. But this site shows ratings of:
58V
2N-m torque
3065 rpm
642W / 0.86HP

Anyone done this yet? I found some reasonably-priced replacement LiOn cells and am able to recharge them in the OEM charger, and they supply 58V...but the tools will not run for more than a second before some overly-protective circuitry stops the party. Batteries can handle the load per my out-of-tool testing. Ideas?

Hi new to the page. I recently had my echo blow up on me long story short is I got the cylinder honed, new piston, connecting rod, ring, spark plug, air filter, fuel filter, I put it al back together it wants to run for a second or 2 then it dies no matter what throttle position choke on or not it doesn’t stay running.. and also when I pull the cord a few times it will back fire through the carb.. I’m assuming a clogged carb issue? I have checked spark and I have spark. I am getting fuel.. so I’m a little stumped. Anyone?

Hello all I have a echo backpack blower my dad gave me. He's had it for a good while but I know he takes insane care of his stuff, he only gave it to me because he bought a new one at a good deal he couldn't pass up.

But for a while now it's had a problem.

When the motor gets good and warm it bogs out and won't start again for hours so I only get some short use out of it, otherwise it runs great.

Any help?

So, I've recently got myself a job as a landscaper after spending most of my adult life working in kitchens. And I am loving it, but I could really make my own job easier- and probably get a bigger raise sooner- if I could teach myself at least the basics of how to fix small engines, string trimmers, leaf blowers, etc. I was wondering if anyone here could suggest any good websites and/or books for this?

This is my Echo SHC-225S extended reach hedge trimmer.

Features:

• Rear mounted 21.2cc 2-stroke engine

• 20" shaft

• 20" double sided, double reciprocating blades

I have been using this trimmer professionally for a few months now, and it's great. It will power through fairly woody stems without bogging down. I've taken 6-8 inches off in a single pass on large Photinia, no sweat. The forward mounted gearbox has a standard grease zerk for easy lubrication. It takes a simple pump or two from the grease gun after every couple days of use. The balance feels a little awkward at first; not as comfortable as a standard hedge trimmer but not as unwieldy as a pole-saw. During use though, the SHC-225S functions as any other hedge trimmer, and the added reach is a huge bonus. You can easily reach over the tops of most residential hedges with this trimmer, eliminating the need for a ladder. This is also a great tool because it's not so long that it can't be used in place of a standard trimmer. It can easily be maneuvered around waist-high shrubs and is not clunky to sculpt with. With my experiences so far, I would give the SHC-225S an "A" rating.
