Thanks for the instructional vid! I got one yesterday for dirt cheap, new bulb and lines but wouldn't start. After using a half can of starter fluid and pulling until my arm fell off, I called it a night. I figured this would be the case. I can't wait to hear it purr

Would like to know how do you adjust the gas and air knobs on the leaf /weed wacker
@jimmysgarage90683 жыл бұрын
Depending on the model that you have, there may be and air/fuel screw and/or idler screw. Look up your model and you may be able to find a PDF of the users manual. Hope that helps!

Glad to see your are wearing your latex gloves! Hope you have your mask on too, incase the neighbor wanders over to see "what ol' Jimmy is up to"! Good job and great simple video that is likely going to help a lot of people.

Thank you for watching! I hope this does help some people - a ratty running leaf blower/weed walker can be incredibly annoying.

Hey there great video! I did all the steps and it’s still not running! Had the blower running last fall but it would only run if it was in full throttle. Any idea what the issue may be?
@jimmysgarage90688 ай бұрын
Hey man! It sounds like fuel delivery. You’ll want to clean your carb again, but pay attention to every little detail. Small engines like that can run poorly if there is any blockage in the system. Also check your fuel lines. They may look okay, but there could be a hairline crack causing a vacuum leak which can prevent fuel from getting to the carb. Go slow, take your time and check every component. It’s annoying having to deal with these sometimes, but once it’s running strong you’ll be thankful that you went slow and got it done right. Best of luck to you 🇺🇸🤘

I have a video on how to fix a broken recoil - look it up, it may help. Tough to tell what you’re working with unless I can see it.

I have the same Blower , the problem of mine is I can't start after each use . I have to leave it about a hour or two before I can restart again ... Can you help me on that ?
@jimmysgarage906811 ай бұрын
Sounds like fuel delivery to me. Remove the carb & fuel lines. Thoroughly clean everything & blow out with air. Ensure the air filter isn’t clogged. Make sure the spark plug is good. As long as you take care of fuel/air/spark - your machine will run as it should. Best of luck! 🤘🇺🇸

Recoils can be a pain - but they are all “fixable”. Take it apart, see what the issue is, and repair accordingly. If you have the model #, you may be able to order replacement parts. I hope that helps. 🇺🇸🤘

I can't get my leaf blower started but my two sons can. I do the exact same steps as they do but it won't start for me. Do you have any ideas about why this might happen? Is it because they can pull the thing harder or faster than me? It's VERY frustrating because I can't use it when I want or need to and have to wait for them to be home to use it.
@jimmysgarage9068 Жыл бұрын
That is strange. Only thing I can suggest is to make sure you have a clean carb, clean fuel lines and fresh fuel - should start every time. Best of luck to you! 🇺🇸🤘
