How to adjust a carburetor on a Mighty Lite Handheld Gas Blower model# UT 08520 ?

Hi. This link,
http://manuals.homelite.com/documents?page=5
is to the homelite page where the manuals are, however, there are 4 different models of the handheld blower you have. Either way, if this is a really new model, there may be no way to adjust the carburetor, as due to emissions standards, there may not even be any idle screws, but if they do exist, the head ma be whats called "pacman", as it looks like a little....yeah...pacman.

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

The primer bulb should be attached directly to the carburetor. There will be a plate with 4 screws, once on each corner, which you will have to remove to get the primer bulb off of the carburetor. You can find replacement primer bulbs at PartsBuggy.com.

This time of year, the ethanol in the fuel and winter set-up take their toll. Try this to entice it to run. Get an aerosol can of carburetor/choke cleaner spray at the auto parts store. Remove the air filter. Open the choke on the carburetor. Open the throttle all the way on the carburetor. Spray a couple of shots of the cleaner in through the carburetor throat. Immediately try to start the machine with it cold-choked the conventional manner with air cleaner still off. If it "pops" or acts like it wants to start, repeat the above procedure. If it fails to start, pull the spark plug and check for flooding and/or fouling of the plug. Clean and replace and repeat procedure. If it doesn't attempt to start, you will probably have to remove and service the carburetor, A good cleaning and/or gasket with diaphragms rebuild kit may need to be installed. These carbs have to be rebuilt with these fuel sensitive parts periodically anyway. Post back if needed. We are here to help.

It appears that the carburetor is "flooding" in your case. Several different things can contribute to this problem, but primarily it is because you have eithter 1. Tried to pull start it an excessive number of times with it choked 2. The carburetor is dirty and requires disassembly and cleaning.
If this continues to happen, you will need to look at the carburetor closely and inspect it. To "dry" the machine out after it becomes "flooded" you can remove the spark plug (make sure it is clean and gapped properly as this can cause a no-start issue) and pull on the starter to expel the unburnt fuel out of the engine.

Well after you clean it out and get it running make sure you dump some sta-bil into the gas tank next time it is going to sit idle for over 3 months. the gas turns into a shellac which glues up the carburetor.

yes, i have one myself. you must adjust the carb. there should be two screws to adjust the gas and air flow. try adjusting them to the right, both of thlem

you may need to replace the screen in the carb.

type in homelitest and ut number on the trimmer and then search google . maybe

First you will have to get a carburetor kit ,it consists of diaprams and inlet needle,you then remove the two srews that hold carburetor on the engine and remove gas lines,also the throttle cable remove screws that hold ends of carburetor on under these you will find the diaphrams and needle remove these be carefull not to loose the little spring under the needle lever.
!get you a can of carburetor cleaner and spray carburetor the blow it out with air you will notice little jets in carburetor that have to be clean use a wire from a bread tie to clean them out install new gaskets and diaprams in same position you took old ones off.you can also look at carburetor to see what kind it is walbor,zama,tilloson? type the name in google search and can get a diagram of carburetor if you loose your place,or just ask me.
