Homelite back pack leaf blower

try leaving your gas cap loose when you shut it off,and see if it still does it

Hi
This is either a clogged muffler or carb. Take the off and see if it will rev. If not you need to clean carb and install a carb repair kit. Do not run long with muffler off.

IF U GOT 6 MONTHS TO A YEAR FROM IT YOU DID VERY WELL!!!

YES THERE IS A KIT, SEND ME THE BRAND AND MODEL OFF OF THE CARBURETOR. MOST COMMON KIT IS A ZAMA RB-29 BUT CHECK YOUR MODEL TO BE SURE!!

Suspect the blower fan is loose on the crankshaft.
Open the housing on the fan side and check mounting nut. If this is the case, remove the nut, apply one or two drops of Loctite-Thread-Locker (in the blue package) to the crankshaft threads and reinstall the nut.
Hope this helps.

if he put fuel in it dump it out & put yours in it , if problem persist there are 2 screws on the carberator turn the 1 on the right or th bottom 1/4 turn to the left!

First you will have to get a carburetor kit ,it consists of diaprams and inlet needle,you then remove the two srews that hold carburetor on the engine and remove gas lines,also the throttle cable remove screws that hold ends of carburetor on under these you will find the diaphrams and needle remove these be carefull not to loose the little spring under the needle lever.
!get you a can of carburetor cleaner and spray carburetor the blow it out with air you will notice little jets in carburetor that have to be clean use a wire from a bread tie to clean them out install new gaskets and diaprams in same position you took old ones off.you can also look at carburetor to see what kind it is walbor,zama,tilloson? type the name in google search and can get a diagram of carburetor if you loose your place,or just ask me.

Hey .. Did you replace the inlet screen in the carb ?

or

Either the carburetor, block behind it, or the cylinder are loose. Common Homelite problem.

Let me know ....

check the air filter.

fist thing is run both the carb screws all the way in then back them off 1 1/4 turn this will be your starting point then start the blower to fine tune the carb if it starts then your carb was off giving it to much or to less fuel

have you tried changing the air filter and spark plug?
