Pull lines from tank making sure where each goes to carb. Rinse tank out with carb. Cleaner then blow out with compressed air. Cut hoses to proper length as old ones but allow 1 extra inch. With this inch cut with scissors making a tapered end, drop oil on holes in tank to lube as you thread line into holes twist and turn hose into tank until you can get to ends of hose with needle nose pliers and then pull hose until you can cut of taper and install fuel filter in correct hose.

SOURCE: homelite ut o8107 blower 25cc will only idle

Hello:

Have you Removed the Muffler and Checked the Exhaust Port and Muffler for Carbin Restriction?
Remove the Muffler and Start the Unit. If the Operates Correctly, then the Spark Arrestor Screen is Clogged and the Muffler/Screen Requires Replacing.
Make Sure the Exhaust Port is Not Restricted Also.
Hope this Helps.

Good Luck

SOURCE: How to you repalce a fuel line on a weedeater gb1/22v leaf blower

When replacing fuel line, make sure that you have the correct size lines. Depending on the size of your engine, the lines may vary in size. The primer bulb line will sometimes be larger in diameter than the fuel line to the carburetor. The primer bulb line will be the shorter of the two. When replacing the fuel line, make sure you have enough line to go from the bottom of the tank up to the carburetor. Give yourself a couple extra inches to work with. Cut one end at an angle, this makes it easier to feed down through the hole. Continue feeding the line until it comes out of the gas cap hole. Then cut the end of the line square again and attach the fuel filter that goes on the end of the line. Place the filter back in the tank, then adjust the line so that the fuel filter lays comfortably at the bottom of the tank. Then attach the other end of the line, (where you inserted it), to the carburetor, cutting off any extra line you may have.

SOURCE: How do I replace the fuel filter and the two fuel

Take your Model number of your machine and the model, type, and code of your motor to your local small engine repair shop and have them get you your replacement filter and also pick up new gas line. When you replace your fuel lines do one at a time. All you have to do is pull a fuel line off, cut new line to length and re install. As to the filter in the tank, I usually take a coat hanger and fish it up to the top and then use needle nose pliers to grip it. Then just pull off the old filter and install new one.

good luck

SOURCE: My Homelite backpack leaf blower runs until tank is 1/2 full

I believe you to be correct in your diagnosis.
1) remove the fuel tank
*this will give you an idea of how lines are routed and fitted into tank
2) install a new hose through to tank fitting and make sure to retrieve the old hose & filter inside the tank, so that you can attach the filter to the new hose. The filter is weighted so that it falls to the lowest point to pick up fuel.

Homelite mighty lite 26bv gas Blower won't run full speed or only in Full Choke

Sounds like a lean condition. Rebuild carb, replace fuel lines and fuel filter and you should be ready to blow the leaves.

Homelite ut-08068-r leaf blower leaking fuel

If we are talking about a hand held leaf blower. The fuel leaking from the carb is likely caused by a stiff metering diaghram holding the needle open. Rebuild your carb ( I suggest also replacing the fuel lines and primer bulb while you are at it) and double check the lever adjustment.

How do I replace the fuel bulb?

Homelite and Ryobi appear to be made by the same manufacturer. Home Depot now carries a "Fuel System Tune-Up Kit, AC04122," that includes 2 replacement fuel lines and a replacement Primer Bulb for 25cc, 30cc, and 26cc 2-cycle engines. Cost is $7 +.

I have a handheld blower/vac: The primer bulb is new and will not pump fuel,not even fill the bulb. I checked the fuel lines to make sure they were correct.(homelite)

I was working on a neighbor's homelite chainsaw and I replaced the primer bulb, it was not intuitive, and I hooked up the lines backwards. Also if you are replacing the primer bulb, maybe you have old fuel lines that are deteriorating and need replaced. Did you check the in tank fuel filter? If it looks dark, it may be time to change it.

I hope this helps get you going again.

I have a Homelite "Vac Attack" leaf blower model

The fuel line is replaceable by itself, you don't need a new tank. Just make sure you get the same size line or it will leak where it goes into the tank. Any local small engine repair shop should have the line. There are two lines that go into the tank, the pickup line has the filter on it. It not only filters the gas but keeps the end of the line down in the fuel.

I have a Homelite leaf blower that will start and run for a half tank og gas. However when the tank is half empty it stalls out and will not start. If I stop it fill the tank let it sit it will start

Sounds to me as though the fuel line that supplies the carburetor has been pulled out so that it is above the fuel when tank is 1/2 empty, or there is a crack/break in the fuel line inside the tank. Not a hard job to replace the fuel line, but takes patience. If your machine has 2 lines, only take 1 off at a time to avoid confusion as to which one goes where on the carburetor.

Homelite gas leaf blower losing power

There might be a small screen in the exhaust (it's a spark arrestor) that gets plugged with carbon. Will cause loss of power and eventually the machine will not run. You can just take the screen out and it will run better. Check the exhaust ports (look into the cylinder area after you take off the muffler) and see if it/they are plugged. If so, use only plastic or wooden items to clear the carbon out. Be careful not to get any in the cylinder. If you do, pull the starter rope several times to blow out the carbon.

Otherwise, some fuel line cleaner would be a good try to assist in the problem.

Leaf blower will crank only when spark plug is dipped in gas and re-inserted

fuel system needs to be cleaned, carburetor diaphragms and gaskets replaced, check fuel lines, filters, primer bulbs
