Small Engines (Lawn Mowers, etc.): Leaf blower wont start., fan blade, leaf blower

Question
I have a Weedeater brand gas powered Leaf blower model GBI22 that will not start.
I drained the gas/oil mix out, and refilled, changed spark plug etc. Nothing works. I know nothing about repairing small engines, so that is the extent of my knowledge. You have to switch a rocker switch to the on position, and set it to choke to start, but no matter how many times i pull, it will not turn over. I checked the fan blade, and its spinning fine. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Hi Darren,

You will need to determine if the problem is a lack of spark or a lack of fuel flow.  Right after it quits, remove the spark plug, reconnect the wire and lay it against the engine head.  Pull the engine over and watch for spark at the plug's electrode.

If good, then try to start it while squirting fuel or starting fluid into the carb intake.  If it starts and you can keep it running by adding fuel, then the carb most likely has dirt, debris or gummed fuel inside.
You will need to remove the carb, disassemble it, clean all the small internal openings and blow it out with compressed air.   Probe each and every hole with a small wire.   A carb rebuild kit wouldn't hurt either.  

Let me know how you make out.
