 Possible Repair For Starting and Running Problem Aug 18, 2010
I bought one of these at a garage sale ("Will Not Run") for $5.00, and it appeared that it was used very little. I decided to take a chance since I know a bit about small engines. I disassembled and cleaned the carburator, and this thing wouln't even bark. Hmmm, I took the muffler side apart and immediately noticed that there was only one small 1/4 inch hole drilled in the muffler (under the outer baffle) to let the exhaust out. That certainly isn't enough space to let the exhaust out, and the motor will not run correctly or start easily (or at all) if the exhaust cannot get out (like putting a banana in the tailpipe). I removed the muffler and the thing started right up with 3 pulls. (a bit loud without a muffler). I drilled 3 additional 1/4 inch holes under the baffle, and also drilled some more 1/8 inch holes along the front edge of the baffle, to let the exhaust escape. Reassembled the muffler and this blower now starts and runs perfectly......HOT or COLD. If your having problems with starting and/or running, chech the muffler as it is possibly not drilled correctly from the factory. Good Luck.............
 Buy something else... Aug 12, 2010
I bought this just over a year ago, have used about about a dozen time at the most. Pull cord broke - not covered under the 2 year warranty.
junk Aug 09, 2010
This blower is a piece of junk, very hard to start. Eventually it will not start no matter what you do to it. Don't waste your money on this P.O.S. Save your money and buy a Stihl.
 Poor Reliability Jul 28, 2010
Had the same running issue as most, eventually would not start. Took carb apart and cleaned thinking something got inside. Worked 1 time then same thing. Made several attempts then finally purchased a new carb. That worked fine for a short while then back to the same thing. I think I'm over this thing now, on to the better brand - should have known better.
Hard to Start Jun 13, 2010
This unit performs well if you can get it started. Almost impossible to restart after engine is warm. Usually have to wait at least 1/2 hour and add a shot of starting fluid spray after shutting down blower to add fuel. Currently at repair shop because it will not start. Start pull cord does not always retact fully. A real pain in the butt!
