Echo Strimmer

[Four Candles 0]

Hello to All, 

I've had a look at a few lawnmower and machinery sites and this is a really good one so I have joined up. There is a great variety of machinery and tools and this site is a lot less formal than others. I have quite a few projects on the go. I have six Echo SRM200da strimmer's and wondered if anyone knows where I can get a flywheel puller for these. I know I can get one from the US but the postage is high so thought I would try here first. Cheers

 A photo of the flywheel would help, then we might come up with some ideas.

X2 for a pic of the flywheel - straight on with the retaining nut in the middle. Possibly there will be 2 or 3 small threaded holes spaced around the nut into which screws from a puller will engage. Probably no need to buy a puller as one can be made using a bit of scrap steel and basic hand tools.

I would have thought that those Echos would have electronic ignition so is there any need to pull the flywheels - but perhaps not.

 

EDIT. Just found a micro fiche of the SRM 200da and it shows points and a condenser , so you could well need to make or obtain a puller.

Yes, the SRM200da has points and condenser. I have previously made a couple of pullers and have used them and they worked OK but didn't last. So thought I would see if anyone had the proper tool or knew of Someone in the UK who might supply one.  I have attached a photo of the flywheel.

 I'd just make another puller, but stronger than the previous ones. Did you use square section bar?

Yes Stormin  your right I'll have another go the weekend. Thanks
