I purchased a new echo 225 3 years ago. Today I took it to the dealer as gas was leaking out while it was running. They examined it and called me with what it would take to repair it. New fuel lines, fuel tank, gasket and carburetor. Bill would be 165 dollars if I approved the work. A new one costs 219 dollars.
Echo has a a five year warranty for a unit that is not used by a business. When I asked if this would be covered by the warranty I was told no because gas with ethanol (10%) was used. As I told them all gas in our area has ethanol in it and since it was built recently when all gas had ethanol in it, it should be able to handle 10% ethanol. Has anyone else run into this?
