Watch me work on and diagnose a backpack blower that won't run. Will it run? How to test for spark. How to test the carburetor. How to change the fuel filter.
Nice job getting it going again man. Guy dropped off that exact blower for me to take a look at. I got it started and it idles ok but it won't throttle up. I'll try adjusting the carb if I can find my carb tools. Either way I ordered a new carb just to be on the safe side.
i just replace them right out of the gate. i don't mess with them anymore. too cheap and fast to replace. for $17 you get a new carb, new plug, new fuel filter and a new air filter.

Tuning requires a lot of trial and error. Keep learning!
Very patient job. Maybe more cleaning time in the old carburetor.
What else could be cleaned? He already sprayed the bejesus out of it.
No clarity on which jet was being tweaked.
90% of all small engine problems start at the carburetor.
At, 24:50 , quite the contrary, you actually do have one on hand!
Thanks for the video. What are your thoughts on what would cause the air filter to be soaked with fuel/oil.
Most likely caused by flooding the engine out and maybe too much choke.
Excellent demonstration. Since you took apart and cleaned the original carb, what do you think was wrong with it?
I am really not sure. These can be a pain and for $12.00, I'd rather just replace it
