QuestionI just found a craftsman 32cc leaf blower/mulch/vac 170mhp. I tried starting it and it runs for a few seconds then dies, i took the air filter off and found the fuel line from the primer to the carburetor was good but the line coming off the carburetor wasn't connected to anything...I'm not to sure what that is suppose to be connected to. What is a good web site that i can order parts (gaskets) from for this blower?
Model # 358.798980
