Top 6 Reasons Your Gas Blower Won’t Start
Gas blowers have engines, and sometimes engines won’t start. Check for these issues to get your gas powered blower going again.
1. Primer bulb wasn’t pressed enough.
Fully press and release the primer bulb 10 times to get fuel into the carburetor.
2. Fueled up?
Make sure the tank has plenty of properly mixed fuel.
3. Old/improperly mixed fuel.
If your fuel has been sitting in the tank for more than 30 days, or you think it’s not mixed quite right, drain it and add fresh, properly mixed fuel.
4. Check the air filter.
Check that your air filter is clean. A dirty air filter will cause the unit not to start.
5. Engine may be flooded.
Squeeze and hold the throttle control. Pull the starter rope with a controlled and steady motion until the unit starts.
6. Spark plug issues.
Remove and inspect. If it’s blackened, corroded, or otherwise fouled or damaged, replace it with a new one.
