Been lurking around the board for awhile, but have never posted before. Lots of good info here and I'm hoping someone can help me out. I bought an echo qv8000 that has been converted to run a regular b&c off eBay about 2 years ago. It ran good when I first got it, but the chain brake broke and it has been sitting for some time. Tank was emptied and small amount of oil was put in cylinder. Today I fueled it up and thought I would run it. -No luck. Cranked on it for about 2 hours. My shoulder hurts like hell. Tried some gas down the carb, 2 different plugs, ohmed and gapped coil, compression reads 170psi, p&c look new, muffler is clear, blue spark @ plug, getting fuel to carb.
I did notice that every time I cranked on it and then pulled the plug that it was wet with gas and the choke butterfly has fuel puddled around it. Im running out of ideas fast... Thanks Will
On a positive note I picked up 2 Makita 6401's @ home depot the other day for $145ea. Gave one to my pops and they run great!! Will
