I have an Echo leaf Blower that no longer runs. I would like to rebuild the
carburetor. I can go to the Echo web site for information or I can go to the
Walbro (the carburetor maker) web site for information. Unfortunately the
two sites differ.

It is a Walbro WYJ-316 Carburetor (as stamped on the body). The Walbro site
lists 6 different gaskets and diaphrams. The ECHO web page for the same
carburetor lists 4 gaskets and diaphrams and infact if you disassemble the
carb, there are 4.

So...no brainer you say.....I bought the ECHO rebuild kit....it came today
with 6 gaskets and diaphrams. So I ignore the 2 extra gaskets and rebuild my
carburetor....wait...there is a rubber Oring (about .2 inch diameter), what
the heck is this for? It doesnt show up on any documentation from either web
site....so I ignore it too and reassemble my carburetor....

Item 9, page 26/27 is the o-ring.

Crap! it doesnt work. There is something about the primer bulb that is not
sucking up fuel. The entire fuel line is dry and no amount of priming will
suck it up. I soaked the pieces in Gumout for 24 hrs and as far as I can see
all holes are clear

Where do I look? I took it apart again and everything appears to be in the
correct place and orientation. Do I use all 6 diaphrams and gaskets? Is this
where I break down and buy a new carburetor? I think I need some expert
help.

Were your gaskets/diaphragms properly orientated so as to not block
any holes/vents, etc?
