That is indeed the case, fuel is not getting to or through the carburetor. Check the fuel line, including the filter in the tank. Then check the carburetor, clean it if necessary, replace the diaphram in the carburetor. The diaphram is also the fuel pump of the carburetor. Be very careful with the small parts including the little spring in the lower end.

- Alow the engine to run for longer on the start setting before you switch to run
- Ensure air filter is clean. Foam elements can be washed
with hot water and detergent. Paper elements can be cleaned with

replaced.

- Ensure fuel filter isn't dirty. This is probably located at the end of the fuel line in the tank.

Most likely it is the spark plug, but could be a dirty fuel system. I'd start with the spark plug then go from there. you can also use a good quality fuel injector cleaner in your gas to help keep all your small engine carbs clean.

Worst case a carb kit can be gotten for them for about $20 bucks. Hope this helps. Please vote yes, thank you.

Common issues and possible solutions:
Fuel-Related Issues:
Check the Fuel Level: Ensure that the blower has enough fuel in the tank. If it's running low, refill it with fresh, properly mixed fuel as specified in the user manual. Remember to use the correct fuel-to-oil ratio to avoid engine damage.
Inspect Fuel Lines: Examine the fuel lines for any clogs, kinks, or leaks. Clean or replace them if necessary.
Clean the Carburetor: A dirty or clogged carburetor can cause starting and running problems. Remove the carburetor, clean it thoroughly, and check for any damaged components. Replace the diaphragm and gasket if needed.
Spark Plug Issues:
Check the Spark Plug: Inspect the spark plug for signs of wear, fouling, or damage. Ensure it's properly gapped and functioning. If needed, replace the spark plug
.
Air Filter and Intake System:
Clean the Air Filter: A clogged air filter can affect performance. Remove the air filter, clean it, and ensure proper airflow.
Inspect the Intake System: Make sure the intake manifold is secure and not loose. Tighten any screws or connections.
Heat Soak:
Sometimes, backpack blowers experience heat soak, where the engine becomes too hot to start. Allow the blower to cool down before attempting to restart it.
Compression and Ignition Coil:
Compression Test: Check the engine's compression using a compression tester. Low compression may indicate internal engine issues
.
Test the Ignition Coil: Ensure the ignition coil is functioning correctly. A faulty coil can lead to starting problems.
