Thanks for watching. This blower would sometimes start but more recently it's not starting at all.

    Great job explaining your steps. One of the better videos I've watched.

    I just bought that blower for $149 from Lowe's. It runs great, but it does look like a pain to take apart 😂. I'll try to take care of this one lol. Thanks for all your hard work producing these great videos.

  • Just repaired one with the same issue. It was a loose carb boot.The carb intake boots get loose and they suck air and lean out. Always a good idea to tighten those two screws under the boot when you have it apart. If the carb wiggles at all the boot needs tightened.

    First off, great video! Very detailed and well-documented. Second, I have a 125b and 125bvx. Both failed at almost exactly five years. 90~100psi on both. Carb cannot be rebuilt on new models (green fuel cap is old model, American parts, better quality) due to EPA mess. Most of it is sealed up good. Same reason those adjustment screws aren't phillips or flat, unlike on my motorcycles, tractors, etc. I was told to basically buy new carbs. Both blowers are not in the shop, likely bound for the trash. This DID force me to do the smart thing and pay more for a solid machine. I bought a Stihl BR800 X Magnum. My father-in-law is in construction and has Stihl products that he had before I met his daughter, fourteen years ago. All run flawlessly. I got a four-year warranty on mine at no charge. Oh, and it blows so much better than the old ones too! I might fix them and donate them, but I dunno', I don't want somebody mad at me!

    Husky makes good equipment. I always said that if I didn't have a Stihl I'd have a Husky. Never fooled with a Husky blower or trimmer but bet they'd bee an asset to the stable. Good fix for you and I'd be happy to have one myself. Blessings
  • I have one. I just replaced the purge bulb and fuel lines and filters. It does what I want it do. I like it more now that I know more about how it works,

    I’m in the market for a new gas blower, it has come down to this model vs the Echo PB 2620, which I’m leaning towards, factors include, chrome cylinder, multiple nozzles, pro grade, light weight. Number of positive reviews. Thanks
  • Not a Husky fan or a fan of any brand that bury the carburetor under 3 different plastic covers.As always great content very informative 👍

    Mine stopped running after a year. Tore it apart. Found metal bits in the cylinder. Changed the piston and ring. New plug, filter, fuel, still wouldn’t start. Threw it in the trash. Felt good to be finally rid of it. After a few hours I retrieved it and gave it one last chance. It started and I finished the yard work with it. It’s still not completely running right but it’s getting there.
  • @adeyp3871
    I have just got one of these that had been sitting for a few years. They replaced the carb and the fuel needle. £150. Hopefully it will work for many years to come.
  • @larrystarnes1954
    I have a question about a Craftsman leaf blower that is at least 35 years old. No parts are now available but it is missing one of the carb adjustment screws. Will the machine run missing one of the screws? What can I do since there are no parts available? I love you videos. You explain everything so good.
  • @judoslap59
    Awesome video, thanks heaps. I was about to throw out my ryobi blower. Could you tell me what to use to clean the outside of it the stuff you use works well
  • @darrcoy1
    Your videos are helpful and inspiring. What brand of cleaner do you use? It appears to work very well. Thanks
