And to all you guys that replied, if you ever have a weed eater, blower 2 cycle question, ask me i can probably help you.........two quick tips.....homelite blowers, watch for loose screws and if no power its most likely carbon buildup blocking the exhaust port, get tiny tiny screwdriver chip out the carbon, restoring the port opening to its original size, it'll run like new again..........and echo weed eaters and stick edgers, no power is usually a clogged fuel filter, SOMEtimes clogged exhaust if cleaning the filter doesn't help......take the fuel filter off of fuel line, remove the clip thats holding felt filter in place with small screwdriver, spray felt filter with wd40 first, allow to sit five minutes, then spray it with brake cleaner, let it dry ten fifteen minutes.... then, in the filter housing, laying beneath where the felt filter goes, is a thing/prefilter that looks like a contact lense kinda....get that thing out of there with a tiny tiny screwdriver or needle type pick, not necessary, reinstall felt filter, put clip back on, reattatch filter to fuel line, done.................your machine will probably run like new.......of course you COULD just get a new filter for six bucks but why if you've got brake cleaner and wd.....and i don't like the prefilters.....if your gas and tank are clean you should be good, plus, the regular felt filters are very dense compacted felt, shaped like a pencil eraser, they work........i get non working machines from people and fix them for myself, i ALWAYS take out that prefilter and i never ever get clogged carburetors
