SOURCE: Toro Super Blower Vac will turn come on. Is there a reset button?

Yes there is. Unplug the unit, pull the plastic adapter that converts it between vac and blower off and you'll see the little square reset button. It is recessed into the case. Push it in until it clicks, replace the adapter and plug it in and go. Good luck!

SOURCE: Toro Blower..No power. Like a blown fuse. Does it have a fuse?

I have the Toro 51591 model. Yesterday, mine did the same as yours. I opened up the case and found that a small cylinder had broken off of the switch. So it could be that your switch is the problem. I have been unable so far to find a replacement anywhere.
You should consider using your warranty.

Testimonial: "Thanks. I checked the manual first though and read that the impeller cover if not properly closed will not allow it to turn on. That worked. Thanks"

Where can I buy a Defond CPU-2113 safety switch for a Toro Blower/Vacuum?

If you do not use the Blower / Vac for Vac you can cut out the the reset switch, it's only when you get foreign material in the impeller using the Vac stopping the motor, I cut out the switch. As you look at the Defond switch (side with writing you see a white wire and a black wire side by side. mark the black wire with a small piece of tape 1-1/2 inches from the connecting lug. Cut all wires off the switch. Strip wires back 3/8 to 1/2 inches. Use heat shrink tubing
and slide it back on the black wire with the tape, same thing thing with the black wires on opposite side of the switch. Use a end to end splice as opposed to a parallel splice because of wire routing space..Splice the white wire with the black with tape, Then the other two black wires. using heat shrink tubing to cover the splice. Good idea to take a picture (smart phone) so as to see wire routing after you separate blower halves, very little wire routing space. Make sure motor is seated in it's nest before joining halves together do not use Vac if you use this fix. Mine works just fine, save $60+ bucks.

Toro blower-vaccuum stop working

Replace the variable speed control with a toggle switch. Cut the 2 power wires that go to the big rotary knob and wire to a toggle switch that you can install by drilling a hole near where the power cable enters. Works great and full power all the time.

After a couple of hours of use last week, the motor started slowing down. Turned it off and it would not restart. tried again after an hour and it started but sounded really rough. stopped it and took it...

sounds like the motor is worn out. Toro does not sell the motor separate. It is considered a throw away unit.
You will have to purchase a new one.
Sorry.
Good Day.
