Echo vl 500 carb rebuild question- Just the Carb?

[PIPOGuy]

Hey All,

I got a rebuild kit for my saw, but after taking it apart and replacing everything I could, I've still got a couple of extra parts from the rebuild kit, and I'm wondering if its just the carb proper that I replace or should I start probing deeper?

Thanks,
Ben

If you didn't replace the fuel lines and filter, you should definitely replace them. Use Tygon for the fuel line. Most rebuild kits are for more than a single model of carb, so having extra parts is normal.

Thanks for the tip, sorry I forgot to mention that. This is a last resort after changing the spark plug, new fuel filter, new air filter, fresh gas. Hopefully I will get a chance to mix some new gas (again) and see if I can get it to fire up. Otherwise to the shop we go.....
