I just posted a wanted add in the RCU classifieds but i wanted to put a quick post here.I need [2],22cc or 24cc echo weed trimmer short blocks.
Actually,just the cranks,pistons,and cylinder.The bearings and rings can be shot as im putting in new anyway.
And,like i stated in my ad,im not buying anyones grocerys or paying there rent.So lets keep the price within moderation or dont bother.I have time to look around.
And Skip,if you read this im sending you an email.

You sure know how to charm em'



There are always old echo string trimmer engines listed on the bay, you can get em' there for a song.

Im looking at the auction sites,ect..Im going to go down to Phoenix and have a look around at the echo dealer[s] also.Theres not just a lot around right now i guess.
And ya,to the point is the way i figure i do things.I actually hate email and Pms.I would much rather call someone and get a whole deal settled in a few minutes.
Instead of the back and forth wheelen an dealin.
I got time,i can wait.

Here is a echo parts engine, CHEAP:

Thanks for postings.
The first one no wonder the guy doesnt have hardly any bids,hes in the wrong category.Plus he cant spell.
Second one is a 16cc.
And the third one like you said needs something.I can buy a brand new short block from my Echo dealer 20 minutes from me for $90.00.
Ive been loooking there also,but i sell on the internet and i know my shipping prices.
And i refuse to pay someone money that makes money off of shipping and handling charges.
But i will say thanks for the help.

I can tell you that at most small engine shops, the only used Echo stuff you will find is already junk. Usually scored bad. I work all day every day on Echos, and if it is not junk, it's get repaired for the customer, or repaired and sold as used.

I do it to,the new ones w/cats run like crap and ya cant tune them!

Thats why im kinda looking for the older models.I recieved your email skip and will get back to you .Im watching a few items right now.

Maybe you can tell me.On these models are the cranks all the same size?
And are the rods the same size.The only difference being the size of piston or stroke.This is what i found at the echo site.
Models SRM- 210,2100,ect are 21.2cc
Models SRM-230,are 22.3 if i remember right.
Models SRM- 2400,are 23.8cc..
Is this about right?

The 21.2 snd 23.6 are the same,dont know about 22.8,i know from Keith in the Dont forget echo posts,the 22.8 is probably the same,those case,s are differnt coil mounts onC/case not cylinder on 22.8,check part #,s on sepw.

The 22.8 have a slightly longer stroke, if I remember right.

Buck,
I could'nt tell you for sure. I never strip them down. If they have good compression, I tune em up and send em out. If it's low, I pull the muff and find the scoreing. I have'nt had a jug off one in several months. They are definately good engines.

I have found the weed wips like new. They are hard to start for some people because of hi compression. I had one given to me....like new. I did do work on the persons other everything so that worked out good. Capt,n

Well the problem is i screwed up.I had 2-[23.6] that i was going to use for an echo[bme] twin.
Then all of a sudden they where all gone.
So i needed to pay a couple bills so i converted them,put on an rcxcl ign,and sold them.
Now ive just come across a bme twin case after 1 year of waiting.
Now i dont have my engines any more.
Oh well,ill keep looking.
