Brushes on the motor are bad. where can I buy them

When I run the leaf blower it starts to smoke. When I took it a part I noticed the sparks and smoke was coming from the brushes.

Sounds like the brushes are worn out and in need of replacement, if available.

Do you know where I can get them? Do you know where I can get them?
Duane Wong Nov 04, 2011

If they're available, the manufacturer of the product would have them. But, the armature might be out of round after all that use, so replacing the brushes alone without the armature may result in the brushes not lasting as long as they originally did. Some manufacturers don't make brushes available, so that's why I said if available from their parts department.

Problem is my hardly used Toro Blower Vac is getting no Power

If it has not run for awhile, check the brushes. they might need to be replaced. The plug is usually moulded right on power cord. That might have to be replaced because if there is a problem with a broken or disconnected wire right at plug there is no way to see it. Hope this helps.

Plugged it in and it won't run but it was running fine when I put it away two weeks ago.

Check the plug for loose wire or at blower where wire it enters to make sure the wire was not pulled and disconnected inside. If after looking and it is not a wire, check the brushes on the motor. They could be worn out or not making a good contact. Blow out brush housing and re-install brush sometimes this works. That's about all I can think of unless there is a safety switch then check that. Good luck.

Toro replacements are hard to find because Toro does not sell them and it is tricky to make you own.

Hello
Does it use a fuel and oil mixture?You probably did that.

Try removing the spark plug and cleaning it with a wire brush or some emery cloth.Make sure you have spark by connecting the plug wire and resting the plug on the metal motor block.

Do not hold the plug in your hand ,if you have no spark you may have a bad magneto.

The electric motor on my B&D LeafHog leaf blower is generating more sparks than it should. Are the brushes bad? Runs OK with power but shooting sparks? Can I fix it or will I have to replace?

My experience with B&D products is that the unit can be repaired, but by the time you buy the part and pay shipping, even doing the work yourself, you may have close to the replacement value. You can get parts from blackanddeck.com

sounds like the motor is worn out. Toro does not sell the motor separate. It is considered a throw away unit.
You will have to purchase a new one.
Sorry.
