Are you sure this is a four stroke engine, i thought all the small blowers were two strokes in which case there is no oil in the crankcase, the lubrication is mixed with the fuel
Mine did the same thing,also sucked trash into the carb.You will have to get the weighted pickup/filter out of the tank(long needle nose pliers or a parts grabber claw).The hose is long enough to pull it out of the fill cap.Cut the end off as straight as possible,and remove the broken line from the filter.Push the line back on,and drop the filter back in the tank.
check age of gas. Cannot be more than 30 days old.
Make sure to use fresh gas w/synthetic 2-cycle oil @ 40:1 ratio
(1 gal.) Gas to 3.2 oz. Oil). Do not use old or stale oil/gas mixture. Always
use the proper oil/gas mix. If you do not, your engine will suffer rapid,
permanent damage.May need to clean or replace carburetor.
Your manual states it is 50:1 which is 2.6 ounces of oil/gallon of gas...or 1.3 ounces in 1/2 gallon of gas. This is a common ratio for Homelite 2 stroke engines. I recommend synthetic oil.
Specs are on page 8 of your manual. http://dl.owneriq.net/f/f2daf743-4682-4ff5-bb2a-bf9e20e5dfa9.pdf
