Top 20 Toro Blowers Rake and Vac - Electric Blower/Vac - 51573 - Page 2 Questions & Answers

I believe your carburetor needs to be rebuilt or replaced. The carb has thin rubber diaphragms that meter in the fuel to combustion chamber. If the diaphragms get hard (from gas sitting in carburetor for extended time or from hot weather) they won't allow enough fuel in to keep up with the demand. if you need parts email [email protected].

You can adjust the guides on the side of the blower so that it rides on those. If they are set to low you will see the problem you have now. If they sit to low for a long period of time you can wear out the blade on the bottom.

I have the same exact problem. It appears there should be something on the starter motor axle to engage the flywheel as you mentioned. I will see if there is a parts diagram in the manual. I hope to find on internet.

The Mamco motor is WAY too much money.I bought brushes on E Bay and made them fit. #51591 takes 1/4 " square brushes.

Remove the spark plug and verify it is not fouled.
You may also find that the high speed jet and/or port is clogged. This will require the carb to be broke down, cleaned and reassembled. This is common with this type of engine, especially if fue is left in it over time and not drained. Worth a shot.

Any tecumseh dealer

It is a fuel issue. Pull the fuel line off the carb and make sure fuel is getting into carb and that the fuel is good. If verified that good fuel is getting to carb then rebuild carb.

Or, you can try the easy approach. Take a 1/4" bolt about 2" long and cutoff the head. Force the bolt into the old fuel line on the fuel tank side (after removing fuel tank), push other end into new fuel line, tape the lines together well with electrical tape. Gently pull from one side and push from the other until new section of line comes through. Just did this and it too all of 5 minutes.

There is a "drain" valve on the bottom of the float/fuel bowl--it could have some debris holding it open or a bad gasket. When fuel is not fully contained in the fuel bowl, the engine will starve for fuel-thus the need to run the choke. Take the fuel bowl apart, clean the float-check for holes, and reassemble after cleaning.

Sounds like a piece of wood is caught under/between the impellor and the case/housing. When removing the impellor, you may find it has a left hand threaded nut. I’m happy to assist further over the phone at https://www.6ya.com/expert/rolandw_c013176d62ee17ae

If it is getting hot enough to melt the electric cord and the extension cord, get rid of it. The over-heating is most likely from the brushes in the motor, which means, unless you are a licensed electrician or know one, the unit should be scrapped. Replacement parts for these electric blowers are priced such that it is cheaper to buy a enw one than to fix the old one.

make sure the pipe is correct ounted, there is a switch that have to be made.

if your unit has an air vane governer this may be stuck or damaged. If you have this type of governer it will be above the fly wheel.Requires removing front cover. Also check the linkage between governer and carb. make sure it moves freely.

I would not reccomend it. just buy some lead additive at any auto store or automotive department & mix per the directions.

You may have had no Fuel in the tank, But there may have been residual fuel left in the carburetor. It will need to be cleaned out.
Hope you get it done before the first snow fall.
Good Day.

The easiest way to set points and coills on most brigs engines is get a pack of matches and rip the cover off them and use this as the tool to gap your points and coils it is cardboard so magnets do not bother it and it just happens to be around 25 thou which is the center of the adjustment on most Brigs. Hope This Helps Don
