I know it's three years on, but your video helped me to establish that the coil on my blower was at fault (PB-580T). I found that the primary was OPEN - no circuit at all. Replacement went in without issue, and the unit now starts and runs just fine. Thanks! (While i could not get the "Service Information" sheet for my unit - or any other, for that matter - the Service Information sheet you showed on camera was also of assistance.) Thanks again!
Thank you for the video. After checking my coil. It's bad. Called my power equipment supply. Echo has life time warranty on their coils.i have one coming for free.
Great Video, I logged onto the Echo website and I could not find the service data file you had discussed, where on the site can I find the service data for the PB-580T blower?
I’ve checked everything on the ignition system on my PB580T Blower according to your explanation but it doesn’t want to start, so even tried a new ignition coil I put a new carburetor and still doesn’t start, I don’t know why these things are so complicated. I put an after market carburetor on it, maybe it’s the carburetor
I'm working on same model blower. When I put red lead to plug wire & black to ground it reads 2.7 same as the two before. I'm stumped with it. Will throw one spark occasionally then nothing. If I switch on then back off it throws one spark & that's it. I've changed/ ordered two coils now & doing the same thing. One spark. Has me aggravated I've check switch, wire continuity, plug is new, everything.
@@krisw5894 never could figure it out. Honestly I think the motor was burnt up because it didn't feel right when pulling the string trying to start it. Only thing I didn't do is change the magnet which makes the spark. I think maybe the cam or something internal was off/broken causing the timing to be off.
Good video but a 3 point spark tester is a quicker way especially if the coil has a rev limiter a multi meter sometimes will not diagnost rev limiters in coils
@@RDJL559 Idk what's the problem, I replaced the spark plug, the carburetor, air filter, fuel lines. It starts sometimes and idles roughly but at the moment I start to set the acceleration to just idle it does and it wont start until another 2 or 3 days later,maybe it is the ignition coil which is An after market part not the original or it could be the mixture screws from carburetor
I'm working on a pb-500t as well and when I performed the test you did at 6:50 I came up with 15.9. At 6:22 you mention that a proper reading for the coil is 160 to 200. Given that do you think that the coil in my blower is bad?
I have the same blower it won't start but my ignition coil test readout is 335 and I still get sparks. Can someone tell me what could be the problem again I get sparks and carburetor is new
Thank you for your effort in making this video very informative, it really helps me so I can go through these tests on my echo PB580T blower

Excellent video thanks for taking the time to make it.
I had a no spark issue coil and on/off switch checked out ended up being a bad brand new spark plug. I’ve never seen one bad right out of the box.
Fantastic video. I fixed mine by watching your video. You know your stuff. Many, many Thanks. I was ready to trash it and purchase new. Thanks
Thanks for heads up I have one I'm dealing with
I got a question so to turn it on the switch on your handle where your arm goes to turn it on the switch, needs to go all the way up all the way down

You ever figure it out? Got one doing same thing.

Would you tell us where to get the ignition coil specs for a PB Echo 580t Leaf Blower?

Real helpful video 💯
he said "bi-sexual screw"
You can kill a lot of time with the wrong diagnosis, some times the engine is not breathing.
And how do you fix that problem v
@@El.Tono1987 clean the exhaust screen and ports
When the engine don't have the speed and the power, check the muffler screen and the ports first.

Bouboune maybe out of time
@@josem.2909 True
@@josem.2909 good one 👌
Jonathan Benoit yeah it's only thing I can think of, timing is the problem
Good equipment, but this video bored me.
