Perfect Replacement with Smooth Installation
I purchased this carburetor for my Echo PB-755ST blower, and it fit perfectly. The kit included everything I needed: fuel lines, gaskets, spark plugs, and primer bulbs. The quality is excellent, and my blower is now running like new. Here’s a step-by-step guide for installation:Tools Needed:• Screwdriver (Phillips and flathead)• Pliers• Small wrenchInstallation Instructions:1. Remove the Old Carburetor:• Disconnect the spark plug to ensure safety.• Drain the fuel and remove the air filter cover and air filter.• Use a screwdriver to loosen the clamps and detach the fuel lines.• Unscrew the bolts holding the carburetor and carefully remove it.2. Prepare for Installation:• Compare the old carburetor with the new one to ensure a proper match.• Install the new gaskets provided in the kit.3. Install the New Carburetor:• Attach the fuel lines to the new carburetor. Make sure the lines are secure to prevent leaks.• Bolt the carburetor in place and connect the throttle linkage.• Reinstall the air filter and cover.4. Connect the Spark Plug and Test:• Reconnect the spark plug wire.• Add fresh fuel and prime the carburetor using the new primer bulb.• Pull the starter cord to test. My blower started on the first pull!Final Thoughts:This carburetor is a fantastic replacement. The included fuel lines and spark plug were a nice bonus. My blower now idles smoothly and has full power again. I highly recommend this kit to anyone needing a reliable and affordable carburetor replacement.

Outstanding!
Perfect fit! Carburetor Gasket to engine block wasn’t the same, but the ones I had were still good. Everything else was perfect. Great kit to order for the price; not worth wasting time on the old one for the price.

I HOPE ITS WHAT I NEEDED
As far as ordering and shipping and the price everything seemed fine but upon inspection I later discovered the black plug for the fuel lines ONLY had 2 holes vs my trimmer having 3. I’m pretty sure I specified my model as being a T-282X. I sure hope my carburetor is the correct one 🤷🏻 now

Shindaiwa EB630 from 1997
It fit perfectly although at first there is a difference in the manifold side gasket and small holes. I used the old gasket pumped the bulb and it ran perfectly . The most difficult step of the installation was removing the cable from the old carb, as there wasnt enough slack to slide ti out.. I eventually just broke the plastic piece holding the cable mount off and the cable came right out from the slotted retainer.

So far so good
It comes with extra parts (spark plug, gasket, fuel line, gasket and fuel pick up screen, and spare primer bulb) The fuel line is vinyl and will not last due to hardening. I recommend the green/yellow 1/4" o.d. Tubing.The last $15 replacement carburetor lasted 2 years. Just replaced that one. OEM carb is $90 without all the extras (plug, gasket, primer bulb, etc.), at this rate, that's 6 of these before you'd get to the price of the OEM... Your mileage may vary, good luck.

10 Year Old Shindaiwa Blower Has New Life.
I have a 10 year old blower that startedto have throttle acceleration issues when going from idle to speed. Looked on line and carberator was the most likely issue. Put this carberator on and the blower started like it was almost new.I am not a mechanic by any means. This carberator and some YouTube videos on, "How to" did the job well. A hex tool set will be needed for disassembling and reassembly of the blower.
