Top 20 Homelite Factory Reconditioned 26cc Gas-Powered MightyLite Hedge Trimmer - Page 5 Questions & Answers

I do not have a Homelite blower, however Your symptoms seem to be pertinent to all small engines of that ilk. I have had several Weedeaters that did the same thing and I found that the cause was leaving fuel in the tank over the winter and the gas part of the fuel evaporates leaving the oil part as a residue that gunks up the carburetor and the jets do not feed fuel properly. If you use alcohol gas along with the oil at a proper ratio, the gas left in the machine leaves the water that the alcohol contains adding to starting woe.The simplest thing to do is to get some starting fluid and exposed the air filter so you can spray a generous amount into the filter. (Be careful, the starting fluid is very volatile and may cause a fire) When the blower starts, keep spraying a shot into the air filter until the machine seems to run. by jiggling the choke you should be able to smooth out the running. Eventually after several tanks of fuel should clean out the solidified gunk.

Been answered.

Sounds like the carburetor is defective, try rebuilding it.

First unplug your spark plug. Take off the engine shroud (cover) and expose the flywheel. Loosen your coil. Put a paper business card (roughly .10" "- .11") between the two legs of the coil and the magnetic spot on the flywheel. Let the magnet on the flywheel pull the coil to itself WITH the business card between. Make sure you get the card between both legs of the coil. Snug 'er down and rotate the flywheel to release the card. That's your clearance.
