SOURCE: I have a Echo PB 2601 made a loud bang then stoped working.

Sounds like it has seized up. If the pull cord won't pull then the motor is locked up. Did you run gas/oil mix for the fuel its a 2 cycle motor...

SOURCE: ho spark on a pb 403t backpack blower

Be sure you have no spark ( 90% of the units that come into my shop for repair with the complaint of no spark- have a fuel issue). Be sure the spark plug is good.
If no spark then remove the ground wire from the module and check for spark again. You must use the recoil starter- spinning by hand is not sufficient. If still no spark then replace module. If there is spark with the ground wire disconnected then there is a problem with the kill switch or a bad wire.

SOURCE: ECHO PB-250 blower new used one time carb.needs

Your machine has a rotary-valve diaphragm type carburetor. These carburetors typically only have an adjustment for the IDLE speed with an available option to control the main jet with an adjustable mixture needle.

Here is the info on the Zama rotary-valve diaphragm carburetor.

http://www.zamacarb.com/prodlist.html#RB

Some have a small adjustment needle in the center pivot of the rotory part, under a brass plug...but most have nothing. Many end users and techs are complaining about the non-adjustable carbs. They are made this way to meet the more stringent EPA emissions codes that are getting tougher each year.

SOURCE: What is the fuel/oil mixture

Sometimes, the fuel ratio is stamped on the fuel cap. Your ratio is 50:1. Echo specifies using 89 (mid-grade ) octane Here is a chart that tells you how much oil you need in a gallon of gas...Just 1/2 it for a half-gallon mix. A copy of your manual is also here.

My Echo PB-250LN blower is hard to start after carb rebuild and misfire at full throttle. Spark arrestor is clean and fuel is fresh

It sounds like the exhaust is restricting the outlet gas. Try running it without the exhaust. If it runs better, clean or replace the exhaust /mufler.

I have a Echo PB/251 Gas Blower which I recently starting having problems keeping it to run. I have to keep the choke on to let it stay at a fast idle. I have taken the carb apert along with all gas and...

Check the muffler and/or spark arrestor screen in the muffler outlet pipe and also the engine's exhaust port behind the muffler. These are prone to carbon-clogging and the engine cannot "BREATHE" enough to reach full throttle. If all-clear in the muffler, go back in the carb and locate the inlet screen directly opposite of the inlet needle. Carefully pull it out with a pick and hold it up to a light source. If you cannot see thru it, replace it. This is another, (less) common area of obstruction.

Hope this helps,
Dolf-
