Small Engines (Lawn Mowers, etc.): leaf blower ajustments, air filter element, air passages

Question
how do I ajust the engine. I can't get this blower to run without using the choke. I have messed with the 2 ajustments without knowing what I was doing. I need to reajust them properly.

Answer
If the only way for your engine to run is by closing the choke you are making the fuel mixture rich.  in plain words your cutting off air.

The reason you do this is because you have restricted fuel flow.  Start by cleaning the fuel tank and fuel cap air vent.  Next remove the fuel lines and primer lines and clean or replace them.  Find the fuel filter in the tank and replace it.

Next purchase a carburetor kit and install it clean all fuel and air passages with a wire from a twist tie and blow it out.  As long as you are doing all of this you might as well replace the spark plug and the air filter element and you'll be all ready for fall.

Good luck on your project
