Brand new Echo weed eater starts, runs for about a minute, cuts off.
Posted by LSUTigersVCURams on 6/16/18 at 2:17 pm09
Literally bought this thing this afternoon. What am I doing wrong? Or do I have a lemon?
The thing starts fine, but cuts off after it runs for a minute or two.

Is it possibly overheating? Or maybe an ignition problem.

Where did you get it from? I returned an Echo trimmer to the store last week because I didn't need it anymore.

It's 50:1. I mixed the little oil thing that came with it with a gallon of gas.

I have an echo that's 4-5 years old and it runs much better with ethanol free gas. That's why I suggested Trufuel.

Mine did the same thing, I had to play with it awhile and get it running before it stayed on
