View Full Version : Leaf Blower Problem

04-08-01, 12:58 PM
My leaf blower runs at less than full power(as if it is not getting gas). I thought the air filter might need cleaning, but that did not help.

Is it possible that the fuel filter needs cleaning or maybe I have trash in the carb?

Could I need to put a carb kit in it? It is a Echo Model # PB-2100.

I would appreciate any help.

Thanks.

Been there. On a mechanics' advice, I replaced the gaskets in and under the carburetor. He said they swell or deteriorate or something from leaving gas in the thing. Lesson- always drain the gas out when done, run it dry. Anyhow, it worked.
