If your blower is not manufactured to be convertible you won't be able to make it into a vacuum. The turbine will not withstand the force of the debris entering it and will be destroyed quickly and could even come apart forcefully injuring you and others around you.
Now if it is designed for vacuuming, the air intake will have a cover that can be opened and allow for the vacuum tube attachment to be connected there. The turbines on these types of blowers are made of materials that can withstand the debris that will be flowing through it and some even have a metal blade that grinds the debris before it enters the turbine then the debris will flow through the outlet tube where the air flows through that blows the leaves and into a bag or filter top that connects to a trash can. Now if this is something that you just have to do and the blower you have isn't a vacuum it can be done but use EXTREME caution. And some pretty major modifications will have to be done to the frame and body of the blower. Some blowers have safety switch's that will prevent the motor or engine from running if any modification is made or if debris is entering the turbine so be prepared for these. I recommend not doing this.

I bought a used b and d bv 2500 type 3 blower , it is hooked up to the vacuum , but i need the leaf blower , so what do i need to do to change it ? tks

There should be an attachment that connects to the air intake that covers the fan turbine preventing any injuries occurring from contact with the blades it also will prevent the motor from turning on if its not installed properly. Then the outlet tube needs to be connected thus converting it into a blower. You mentioned that you purchased it used so it may not have come with these items.

How can I change from vacuum mode to blower mode?

Don't know what make you have. Maybe post a picture if you're still struggling. Most electric vac/blowers have a leaver or a dial/knob on the side that you turn in order to go from vac to blower, but mort the time you also have to put extra pipework on too as the blower outlet then becomes the vac inlet.

My blower seems to not want to go to ful throttle

This happened on my older Ryobi as well. Turns out it was the fuel lines. The ethnol in the gas made the lines swell up inside.

Husqvarna 125b won't prime and run unless upside down. If turned right side up it dies. If I prime it when it's right side up it blows bubbles in the tank.

Try a new gas cap. There needs to be air behind the liquid in a vacuum (think plumbing) or it does not flow. Make sure you've replaced all the cracked lines. Allowing air into the vacuum will also stop the flow. It's one of these.

Older leafhog don't know how to change over to blower instead of vacuum model Bv2500

Remove the vacuum tube completely from the bottom of the machine and make sure the impeller cover closes completely. Remove the collection bag off of the blower outlet. Now attatch the blower tube to that outlet on the blower. Done.

Vacuum or Blower?

* Blowers perform the single, simple function of blowing material. * Blower/vacuum combinations combine the blower function with a vacuum feature. Leaves or debris can be directed into an attached bag, which makes this type of unit great for vacuuming leaves from shrubs. An additional mulching feature is available on some leaf blower/vacuums. Mulched lawn debris can be used in compost piles or bagged for disposal. Most convert easily from blowing to vacuuming mode.
