Fixing A Husqvarna Backpack Blower That Won't Start 

My last (and I do mean LAST) Troy-bilt mower was like that. It was running fine when I stored it but would not prime when I was trying to get it running the last time. It was the air box/primer gasket leaking and that's where I had to surround the air passages with #2 Permatex. Then it started fine but the self propel quit as well as me and they all went down the road. I went myself for a week too later on. I know people cuss battery stuff all the time BUT when it comes time when you turn over + 3/4 a century and have added health hazards you acquire while trying to do the right thing and aren't really able to fool with much, an instant start and run rig is a very handy thing to have. Good fix on the Husky. Blessings 2 U!

You did another wonderful job. I have learned a lot from your videos and really appreciate you!

My mother has an identical machine with over two thousand hours on it. I. Put a new carburetor on it last week and installed a spark arrester Delete package a few years ago. Other than that it still runs great. You just have to take care of things

Backpack fix job good😊

Great fix…😊

My Kawasaki Brute Force has similar issue when starting in cold weather and it needs constant idle adjustments. The carburetor is equipped with idle knob on a flex cable for easy reach and the performance is dictated by engine temperature and ambient temperature and it takes time to get used to while annoying at the same time.

The tape you asked about is most likely construction sealing tape used to cover the seams (gaps) between 4'x8' sheets of either foam board or OSB sheathing that's used as siding underlayment for the exterior walls of various dwellings.

currently have a Ryobi BP blower that had the exact same issue. the 2 bolts backed out of the intake manifold.

I put a really cool modification on my Honda HRN216 mower today. Those have the GCV 170 engine on them, but today I took a GCV 200 off of a junk Honda HRX217 and mounted it onto my HRN mower. So now I should get some more power out of the mower now that it’s got a bigger engine on it.

The tape looks like "Gorilla Tape " Super strong stuff

I think they have some kinda spray that you can use on them gaskets sort of a way to recondition them I will look a little further and get back to you ? Got a few more years on that now nice job 👍

QUE BUEN VIDEO....MUY BUENA LA FORMA DE EXPLICAR COMO REVISAR EL CARBURADOR Y OTRAS PARTES IMPORTANTES DE ESTE TIPO DE MAQUINAS PEQUEÑAS....MUCHAS GRACIAS POR SU IMFORMACION

What do you think about mods? Like a bigger engine on a trimmer or mower

Hey home garage, I just picked up a Honda power washer for cheap, would you recommend using a pump protector? I’ve heard it recommended before but wanted to get your thoughts on it if it’s worth the premium price.

My harbor freight chainsaw,Sometimes I starts it in warm weather and stay running sometimes not .Sometimes Start in cold weather won't stay running and I haven't tried to adjust anything yet Thank you for the video

I had a motorbike which was like that,I think that it was worn piston rings which caused the problem . When I was doing my apprenticeship my manager had trouble getting a Ryobi line trimmer going which was getting repaired under warranty,I found out that it had a torn carburettor to cylinder insulator base gasket so I ordered a new one, fitted it & it started right away. We had all of Ryobis petrol lawn equipment dumped onto us, Ryobi didn't really know themselves like they didn't have equipment to test for crankcase leakage & my manager was an electrical mechanic by trade,he rewound a few electric motors in his time !

What is the cleaner you are using to clean all the dirt off?

What can calls one of these blowers to run a little slow and be slightly down on power?

Hello Home garage how are you feeling you make very interesting videos

Hey bro what's up? This backpack blower looks great for being a decade old. I think that if I have to get a backpack blower for myself it would be overkill since my handheld blower works perfectly and get the job done around my home done quickly.

Was something leaking around the 9:50 mark of the video?

@Home Garage Channel Surely you asked your friend what kind of tape that was... but I want to see if I guess correctly?... 20Mil Vinyl Electrical Tape... How did I do? Peace

👍🏻

The tape I have is Gorilla Duct tape & looks just like it😊

Dust after the carb . Is like sandpaper in the motor. It will wear it out quick

Looks like either gorilla or t rex tape from dollar general. My 4 wheeler is that now. Still haven't been able to look at it yet since i had a cyst removed from my left wrist

If thats a mid size whats a small one look like

Good video, good channel 👍👍👍

Yes, to your question. Have a Craftsman snowblower that works fine when I work on it to get ready for winter but in very cold weather, it doesn't stay started and then won't restart. I use a back up blower and have done all I can to get this problem blower working. New carb, gaskets, plug, correct fuel, replaced gas lines from tank and carb, store it properly and still it has issues. Compression is good 135psi, when it runs, it runs well. It is over 10 years old and started acting up about three years ago. Still play with it but still not satisfied. Not sure what else I can do. Yes, I did adjust the carb but really cold weather is problematic. Thanks again for your video tutorial. Always learning!!

These days I turn work like this away. I take of broken machines, not dirty and neglected machines, except if I find it in the trash.

Where do you live can you fix my echo blower

1:50 That looks like Flex Tape

Flex tape?

Interesting. There was nothing wrong with it, other than the owner taking it apart, and being unable to get it back together properly. That tape looked like black electrical tape, but I've never seen any that wide.

Those carbs are cheaper then a kit

Use goof off and the tape is gorilla tape or flex tape

No start issues 😡🤬 it looks like a 150 or a 165 BT Husqvarna back pack blower

it is gorilla tape

ZIP tape. It's better than duck tape
