Small Engines (Lawn Mowers, etc.): craftsman 32cc leaf blower, adjustment screws, throttle linkage


Question
I have a craftsman 32cc leaf blower model no. 358.797922
right now it will not run I checked everything and found the it only has spark once in awhile. I have cleaned everything good and still the same what else can I do
what is the proper way to set the magneto on this

Answer
The proper way to start it would be to close the coke prying the engine if there is the primer be sure it is turned on pull the rope until the engine tries to start.  Push the choke halfway in and start the engine take the choke off it should be running.

Intermittent spark could be caused by ignition coils breaking down or the gap between the flywheel and the ignition coil is incorrect.  It should be about the thickness of a business card.

Next is the fuel getting to the combustion chamber.  If not remove your carburetor, carburetor lines and fuel filter.  Disassemble the carburetor and use the wire from a wire tie to clean every air and fuel passages blowout with carburetor cleaner or compressed air purchase a carburetor kit and install it.  Mount the carburetor using new mounting gaskets.  Turn adjustments screws in until they likely seat and then back them out.  About 1 1/2 to 2 turns.  Install choke and throttle linkage and clean air filter.  Be sure fuel lines are free of debris and fuel flows freely.  Clean fuel cap vent back flush the fuel tank where the fuel comes out.  Start the unit adjust the adjustment screws turn them in until the engine falters turn them out until the engine floods set in the middle this would be the same for both the high-speed and low-speed screw low-speed would be the idle circuit.  Adjust the screw until the unit will idle.  Hope this information helps you.
