Hitachi RB24EAP 23.9cc 2 Stroke 170 MPH Gas Powered Handheld Blower - Answered Questions & Fixed issues

Check the impeller (on the side opposite the pull starter) to see if it is locked to the drive shaft (in the center of the impeller). The shaft could be spinning but, if the impeller is loose on the shaft, it can't spin fast enough to force as much air through the nozzle as it should.

The engine gets hot, and the smell is likely not anything to worry about.

I use one of those small 2.6 oz oil containers in a gallon (128 oz) to give a 50:1 mix. If you want more oil in your mix add another container - but it will be more expensive and waste oil.

Anywhere between 25:1 and 50:1

hi just because you brought it 4 years ago does not mean it is four years old thats when you first used it the machine itself could be 6-7 years old anyhoo it sounds to me that when you stored your tool up last time may be for the winter there was still fuel left in the carburetor what happens is any fuel left in the carb will expand in cold weather and when it expands it stretches the diaphragm inside the carburetor hence as soon as you touch the throttle it will probably flood the engine making it hard to start i will need the full information on the make model engine size

I don't think that's likely to work out.

There are many possibilities. contaminated fuel, wrong fuel oil mixture. air leak in fuel line, carburetor contaminated, or needs adjustment, choke problems, throttle problems. Try a small engine mechanic.

Check the Hitachi web site where they will show you where to look.

No, and it's a potential fire/explosion hazard! You have probably lost the fiber or plastic liner that prevents this; it's a small disk that fits inside of the fuel cap. Purchase a new fuel cap for your machine ASAP!

The squeeze bulb has two lines connected to the gas tank: One is the return line. This must not be blocked or gas cannot flow. The other is input. If this is missing, broken or leaking air (usually a dry joint caused by old brittle tubing) it is time to replace the gas line. Another problem is if the bulb itself. If it is crackd or not seated properly it will leak air and not fill. Check all these in turn and replace tubing and bulb as necessary. It is possible to buy a generic fuel line kit - or take it to your local workshop.

Hi,
Did the chain tighten up or is it hanging a bit from the bottom of the bar???
Have you made sure to keep bar oil in it??
If the bar and chain are not getting oil the chain will tighten up and stop....

If the chain has oil and it a bit loose.. it should hang just an 1/8 in. to 3/16 in. at the center bottom of the bar....then the clutch has gone bad already and you should have that fixed under warranty...

Hi, depends on the model but they generally have a lock knob back near the pivot point that you need to pull out while gently pushing down on the handle. Hope this helps, regards Phil.
