USNRET Posted June 22, 2017 Share Posted June 22, 2017 Been there done that. The photo below is probably NOT your carb but item 30 is the leading culprit on these. It is a very VERY fine screen and any debris/corrosion prevents flow. I went with a card from amazon that was around 20 bucks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

USNRET Posted June 22, 2017 Share Posted June 22, 2017 Lawn and irrigation wanted $90 for a carb on a 3 month old warrantied unit because it was fuel related and they couldn't determine what fuel I had been using so no warranty. I bought cases of pro-fuel premix from them for all my 2 cycle stuff. I went with the amazon carb; you tube is your friend for repair OR buy cheap and have Carl drive up. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DizRotus Posted June 22, 2017 Share Posted June 22, 2017 If I were king, leaf blowers would be outlawed . . . but then, only outlaws would have leaf blowers. Seriously, they're NOISY and merely move the leaves. Typically, a lawn service guy blows them from the client's yard to the neighbor's yard. Wait, now it's becoming clear. A lawn service then charges the neighbor to blow the leaves back to the original yard. If we tag the leaves like pigeons, we'll see that the same leaves are blown back and forth all season. It's a form of job security. Personally, I don't hire a service, I can leaf well enough alone. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

minermark Posted June 23, 2017 Share Posted June 23, 2017 Looking at these Carb posts reminds me of surfin the Bay China sites, came across these carbs one time from one of my vendors. Every Carb was standard two/four stroke for every engine made. No Carb was over $7.00 complete with free shipping. out of HongKong. Been a year, i'll try and find his site and pass it on. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll take a pieces of stranded copper wire and pull one strand out to use as a cleaner. It's small enough and stout enough to clean the passages then you can blow some aerosol carb cleaner through to get the remainder. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looked at you tube videos and learned you need to pump the bulb 5 times even if there is gas in the bulb. I also was not pressing the throttle/trigger when pulling the cord. Driver errors. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hate it when that happens Had an old friend that when he had to show me something that should be easy that I was doing wrong would say "Are you a simpleton?"
