Leaf blower will not start? I had this Homelite Vac Attack leaf blower, gas a little over a year now and the only thing dang does not start.
What are the things that I could visit?
Could it be that I was using improper gas / oil that killed him? I use the same gas / oil mix for my Weed Wacker, but one is 30:1 and the other is 40:1.
Thank you!
This is probably not the mixture. If it were, the problem should be so bad that the engine would seize. Since it did not happen the mixture is probably OK.
With race 2, it can usually be one or two things. The engines are very simple. First, check out the candle. If you havn't changed it from time to time, thats probably it. 2 time go by quickly enough candles. If you use too much oil in the gas, I'd be surprised if this is not the case. Buy a new card for $ 2 more at Home Depot.
Second, check a blocked fuel line if you can. If this becomes a spark, and it will not run, it's fuel related. there is a 80% probability that one of two things.
If you have ticked both of these things and it still does not work, it could be the magneto and you'd better have reparied somewhere. He won a loved one, but you have to take the thing apart.
im having the same problem with my fan, I checked out the candle and I put another by its spark and I also see you mix gas in the primer. Flag
Use a rake or a broom, these things are a terrible nuisance anyway.
