McCulloch airstream IV blower fixing 2 stroke blower issues

[@JoshuaAndMom]

Awesome job! These airstream blowers were pretty decent blowers back in the old days. Yeah, I noticed a spike when you test the spark plug after all these years. One thing you have to be really careful with is the ethanol Contant in the gasoline since ethanol can ruin a good engine. McCulloch airstream blowers still at its best after 30+ years. These blowers were made back in the day, when lawn and garden equipment was built to last and were built a whole lot better than today's blowers that people buy from Walmart, Lowes, Home Depot, Rural King, or even Tractor Supply.

yes, most definitely, i always go for the older equipment as it's tougher, more simple and can be fixed. Also, yeah we have the option of non-ethanol where i live :) so i'm glad for that.

I’m even surprised it still has spark after all these years

Yet one of the reasons why the blower isn't working is the ethanol content in the gasoline. Most gas stations mostly have gas with 10% ethanol, which is something you have to be really careful about especially it can calls problems with starting and performance of the engine. And I use Tru Fuel in my two cycle equipment, such as weedeaters, blowers and chainsaws.
