Echo PB260l blower pig to start

[tony-d]

Hi Forum

any ideas on s solution to a problem i have with my blower. its a back pack type Echo PB260l the drama is every time i use get it out to use it it will not start, it takes 3 attempts o pouring fuel mix down the plug hole and then it starts and runs fine.

Put it away until the next time and i have to do all the above again any ideas what it could please??

 

thanks

Common starting problems are: -

 

Fast idle setting not engaging correctly

overly weak mixture

Choke not sealing the carb correctly

Low compression

Carb needs cleaning

Tank breather not letting air in

Flywheel to coil gap too large

Fuel lines gone soggy

Fuel filter blocked

Exhaust port or muffler carboned up

 

These are but a few but worth a look
