PE-200 echo edger this edger began leaking gas out through the exhaust between uses and got harder and harder to start until it would not any more. First suspect was the carb. Rebuilt It no luck. Did not trust my rebuild so I bought a new one along with air filter, fuel filter, vent filter, hoses and a grommet. Still no luck. New plug, got good spark. Heard about checking spark arrestor, burned it completely out, nothing. Replaced piston ring, nothing. Checked on and off switch with bypass, still nothing. Replaced the carb, air intake with my one from my trimmer, no luck but my trimmer now starts great. I have blown out all ports on the throttle body and the head. I am at a loss... Seems as if it has to be a fuel issue. Sprayed ether in and it fires mildly but won't run. Have put gas and ether in head to prime a few times and it will fire on repeated pulls as it wind down from the pull but won't run. My neighbor and I are at a loss as we have changed everything except the magnito
