Thanks for the video very helpful

Excellent filming.

great informative video!!!

THANK YOU very much for the video

@Home Garage, my blower layout is very same as yours.Just mines a Polan pro that I got used past week ago.Issue is, starts runs.About 5 min then cuts right off like a kill switch.I have broke blower down.Cleaned.New spark plug lines bulb filter and fule filter.Only thing I seen was coil looks wore down in middle.Pretty large gap.Other side is fine gapped like a business card.Same issue when all done..Never messed with carb except to clean outside.Flushed it with carb cleaner.I run 90 gas no ethanol.Sthil hp oil mix.What I suspect is owner ran crap gas left sit.Lines was white inside.I suspect carb issue.Although confused because runs like a champ for 5 min.Dies has to sit min or so to start.Motor does get very hot.When running it runs smooth.About all I know is for the sec that it has a Zama carb.100% looks like yours.Now I had a friend had a Craftsman would not start.I ordered him new carb.Was 100% researched and sub part per Craftsman was what I ordered.Carb arrived and was little off and no match.So, little worried about buying cheap carbs.Do you have a link for the part or rebuild you put in yours? A link to a good carb also same as yours?

I always put my hardened diaphragms in brake fluid to loosen them up :D also niiiicceee video

Do remember the part numbers on the kit? I bought this model for $20 and it needs a carb rebuild. Also need a part number for a air filter and the cover. When I bought it, it didn't have one on it.

@Home Garage, I have same leaf blower I got today used.First, I would like to touch on a topic that puzzles me.I have had used leaf blowers like this style.Polan etc.Older.Some ran some issues.I see that the motor gets hot fast.Really hot.Spark plug gets real hot also.Put a new one in and 2 min later take it out and looks white chard like.Any how, what causes motor to run so hot.I would think this is not good, but wonder if normal being I seen it time again? Next, back to leaf blower at hand same as you have.Starts and runs.Some times bogs down and up.Some times throttle wide open runs then cuts off.I also have the issue of have to run half choke.Full choke and it stalls.I replaced fule line.Fule filter.Took card apart and cleaned ( seen gum build up on small round silver screen ).So, to me it seems starve of fule.Thoughts? If carb or part you replaced, could I get the part number or link please.Side note- spark arrestor can't be removed.Although looks clean enough.Part you replaced, mine looks flexable although kinda bubbled up in one spot.Guy said blower been sitting a year drained gas out tank and carb.Course who knows how long gas has sat in it.But any how blower I picked up today is same as yours so fig you have hands on with this one.Craftsman vs the Polan I talked of while back which oddly other day used it was fine.Next day try to start and dead not even attempting to turn over.Spark tester shows I have spark.

I have the same leaf blower I would like to know where does the gas filter goes on the smaller hose or the big hose in the tank.

Where did you find the carburetor screws? My leaf blower has a similar layout, but I can't find the adjustment screws to save my life

I have a 27 CC Craftsman bowler that starts just fine but when you put it in “run” position it just shuts down. It will only run when in high throttle. Need some help thanks

Why does a small engine need a diaphragm?

Hello I'm fixing the same blower, what size are the fuel lines?

Hi I was wondering if this works for all leaf blowers

Fuel filter link is for Husqvarna blower....did it fit the craftsman in this video? Thanks for the video!

Need to know where to get parts!

Can you tell me what the rebuild part number is for this blower

Where do you get your parts from? I have the exact same blower. My diaphragm and the two fuel lines are dry rotted. One of the fuel lines was very brittle and broke off in the tank along with some hard thing like a float.

My problem is Craftsman leaf blower won't stay running after I take my hand off the trigger

Where u get the kit from

Could you do a chainsaw video? I need help! My chain keeps becoming loose about every 5 cuts! What do I do?
