Homelite 26B will not start...sort of.
I do not have a Homelite blower, however Your symptoms seem to be pertinent to all small engines of that ilk. I have had several Weedeaters that did the same thing and I found that the cause was leaving fuel in the tank over the winter and the gas part of the fuel evaporates leaving the oil part as a residue that gunks up the carburetor and the jets do not feed fuel properly. If you use alcohol gas along with the oil at a proper ratio, the gas left in the machine leaves the water that the alcohol contains adding to starting woe.The simplest thing to do is to get some starting fluid and exposed the air filter so you can spray a generous amount into the filter. (Be careful, the starting fluid is very volatile and may cause a fire) When the blower starts, keep spraying a shot into the air filter until the machine seems to run. by jiggling the choke you should be able to smooth out the running. Eventually after several tanks of fuel should clean out the solidified gunk.
