It feels like a journey.....surfing and searching for this channel. Perfectly to the point with involving every detail and not making a fuss about it. Excellent job.

Thank you brother for making it very easy to understand, I’m having issues with my echo PB580T blower but I feel confident that I’m going find out what the issue is now

Hi Josh. I’m viewing your leaf blower video from 2021. I have two Craftsman 46cc leaf blowers, identical. One has a bad ignition coil. I can swap the good coil between them and they both work. I have tried to order oem parts to no avail. I have tried several off brand coils, none work. One thing I do notice is that each coil I get reads zero ohms from the spade to the fin of the coil. Essentially always grounded out. On the oem coil, the working one, it reads open. Should I be using plastic screws so that the coil metal doesn’t ground out?. This makes no sense. Any suggestions? Thanks , Jack

I’ve tested ,coil, it is good.kill switch was isolated. Can you suggest something for me to try next.

The poulan pro has two spade hookups

Hey j what's up! That's a great video helps I lot!im not good on the electric stuff ! But have a question! I have a PB 755 it was running fine before I did some work on it, the muffler was loose I keep putting new bolts but didn't help! So I decided weld the muffler so now the blower won't start! I on ready put a new coil still don't run!any idea!!! Thanks!!!

My spade terminal and ground terminal are a dead short... with the wires unhooked from the coil. Dead short internal to my coil :(

Good video . I have a stihl 400 blower , when the kill switch is off , I have spark at plug , when it is in the on I still have spark at the plug . It will not start so I think my problem is something similar to what you are explaining . Any ideas on how to rectify it . I am a bit of a dummy when it comes to understanding kill switches . Any help would be very kindly accepted Thanks in advance

[@slimsqde7397]

if you have spark it should run. your switch problem means the switch isn't grounding out, chase wires and check all connections. But your issue of it not running is either carb or compression. make sure you got spark, then spray starting fluid into the intake and if it runs then the problem is the carb and if it doesn't than the problem is compression or an air leak.

I got a Poulan Pro 45 also it's a pain in the ass

You just make it more confusing. It shouldn't be that difficult
