Never do this to ANY leaf blower. If you do THIS to a leaf blower, BEWARE, this might happen to you!! Watch now to see what happens if you modify the blower tube. This is called an over speed seizure. An over speed seizure is when the crankshaft bearings spin faster than they were designed for. Let me show you what this means. It is extremely easy to avoid destroying your leaf blower in this manner. Watch now!

Thanks to you,Chickanic, and a couple more excellent mechanics. I now have every piece of equipment up and running. I continue to learn from you guys.

Your videos are amazingly educational but your enthusiasm is what really makes them great not to mention your always changing beverages of choice. I have a Busy 580 which blows at 214 mph. It really moves material ...leaves, grass, snow if it is not wet and even twigs and small branches....it is possible to cut back on the amount of air and actually make piles of leaves or you can just blast them all the way off the property then grab a beverage

Hi Steve, can I just say you have helped me no end in doing those little jobs in the service of my garden equipment. I just wanted to say that I have a stihl leaf blower and it came with a stihl restricted end to the main tube and I find that as you say it produces more blowing power and as a result I dont have to rev the engine as much so there's no need to over rev the motor at all. Less stress for the motor and not as much fuel used Just a thought.

Interesting. The same thing happens with any vacuum cleaner -- whenever something blocks the suction nozzle, you can hear the motor screaming as it goes faster. As I understand it, this actually happens because the motor (or blower engine) is doing _less_ work. It's not moving as much air, so there's less drag on the impeller, so the motor is free to spin faster.

@@ohmbug10 Cavitation is something different. i.e. a boat propeller running faster out of the water vs slower in the water is not cavitation despite cavitation being something that occurs to boat propellers.
@stellarproductions8888
@stellarproductions8888 3 года назад
Thats 100% correct. But you also have a problem with that. The motor wasn't designed to operate at that higher RPM for long, so what you are doing, is putting added wearing on the bearings, the stator, the rotor, and the brushes. Eventually something is gonna give, and they do, the motors die, and then your looking for a new vacuum cleaner.
@farleymusclewhite411
@farleymusclewhite411 Год назад
Good point Steve. The last 2 Stihl BG86 C+E hand held blowers that I've purchased actually came with a restricted flow "flat" tube and the regular "round" one. I have never used the flat one but it is supposed to raise the exit speed from 154 to 190 MPH (at lower volume of course). I'm sure they designed the flat tube to still be within RPM maximum spec. I just never had a use for it. Supposedly good for cleaning driveways and peeling up wet leaves ETC. Great channel, glad I found it!
@900stx7
@900stx7 7 месяцев назад
My Stihl came with two nozzles. The flat one has higher velocity with less volume, it's for flat surfaces like your drive way. The round, low velocity, high volume one is for your lawn. I find myself using the round one the most.

I'm not sure what the purpose of revving up the speed is for other than maybe to blow off your debris quicker, but this was an excellent video to watch. It's something I never thought of doing. Suffice to say there's a reason for not jimmy rigging things!
@daleworden189

These where made to be reved up. You end up doing more harm to them by not running them full throttle. Even when you need to run them low like sometimes you need to just run it full out before you shut it off.

@therandom906
@therandom906 3 года назад
The reason the motor picks up speed is because air is a fluid. Believe it or not. Air causes resistance on the fan blades and makes the motor run at a slower speed as its “under load”. If you remove the load to the motor, it can spin a lot faster. Roasting the motor. Try with your vacuum at home, take the hose off and cover the end. The vacuum motor will pick up speed as the load is removed. The load being air.

Steve, you have to tell them why this happens. The back pressure inside the tube causes the fan to cavitate which unloads the fan and allows the engine to run faster. Basically the fan is not grabbing air anymore but slipping on the air . You rock Steve. Keep up the good work.

@rossbrumby1957

Air props don't cavitate, from what I've read. Cavitation is a liquid prop problem, the closest similar issue aircraft props get is when blade tips get near supersonic and turbulence occurs. Drum fans in leaf blowers however, being not nearly as efficient, will actually have less load if over restricted because the air stays inside and rotates with the fan rather than forcing out a too small hole as Steve demonstrated. To make good pressure AND velocity, the blower would need to be built with the tolerances of a car's turbo and run at similar rpm.

I fly airplanes including a commercial instrument multi-engine licensing. I have cavitated propellers. Jet engines can also cavitate. You can feel a cavitation if you have a high enough angle of attack and then you can feel the airplane bite air again. Full cavitation could be seen when an airplane is going straight up and then it starts to fall back down tail first. At that point the propeller is in full cavitation.

When you go straight up with an airplane and there's not enough power for the airplane to go up the propeller eventually unloads because it can't grab the air hence slippage or cavitation. Especially on constant speed props you notice different loads on the engine. You can force the blade angle to go above its ability to grab air and cavitate the prop.

@@HerminiePA was thinking the same thing. What I used was basically a downspout (2x3) and a couple 90* fittings to use with mine. It does not really change the volume of air going out much due to a very small difference in restriction.

What about the other way? Case in point, my stihl blower has a factory tapered fitting, however, I'd like to remove the tapered fitting and tubing to the length of my arm to have a short stubby blower for cleaning some of the hallways & metal framing I'm responsible for at work. Any adverse effect on the engines' internals by removing restriction?

My Stihl blower came with two tubes. One has a oval shape to it and it does speed up the engine somewhat because the outlet is smaller than the round one. Since it came like that new it should be fine, but I noticed the rpm difference when I use the smaller outlet tube. I never use the oval small outlet tube because even though it revs higher, the airflow is not as useful for clearing leaves and grass clippings for me. I can see where this issue would be real bad if the carb was set a little lean to start with and someone restricted the outlet tube. It will rev itself to pieces.

@blairfright9622 3 года назад
Hi Bob, iam not saying it's better idea. Iam just saying if you have ever used a blow gun some have holes in the side of the tube so theres a release for the air in case of blockage but it does increase the amount of air. If you have a older machine it might be a to get back the performance of new. And by the way it dosent increase the rpms because you are not restricting the tube .
