I think we're good with the Echo trimmer. Installed the Taiwan carburetor but still had trouble. In the meantime I took the plug out of the mixture screw of the original carb and ground down an old pocket screwdriver to access the screw. I think I had the fuel hoses backward when I first rebuilt the original carb or the soaking did something. Switched hoses on the Taiwan carb and it fired up. It had no emission plug in the mixture screw but it wouldn't run right. Threw the original carb back on with the rebuild kit in it, adjustable mixture screw and fresh fuel. Seems fine. One hose was shorter, it's the return hose. I must have had it on the suction side or fuel inlet nipple. No wonder it wasn't getting any fuel. Another learning experience.
