My echo ES-210 runs great and starts rapidly. It is all original, bought in 2006. Recently the primer bulb cracked, so it spits a bit of gas when priming.
On amazon, a kit that includes a spark plug, filter, three (?) primer bulbs, and a new carb was available. I didn't look that hard, but didn't see any standalone bulbs fwiw.
So the question becomes if I'm better off just replacing the bulb, or replacing the carb. It's an ain't broke, don't fix it situation, and I have no idea if the carb is set right.
Since it runs well, is there any good reason to replace the carb?
This thing got pretty heavy use until I bought a backpack blower two years ago. I'm going to use it for the vac function now, so I anticipate it will get heavy use again. We have a lot of holly and maple trees that drop a lot.
