I have an lectric Homelite blower/vac. It worked well for 1/2 hour. I turned it off and when I wanted to turn it back on, it started but stopped within a minute. I tried three different extension cords and plugs but still would not work. What is wrong?

go and check your products

you have a dirty or blocked carb jets strip down the carb and clean out the running jet
dont poke wire into any of the jets to clean them this will distroy them!!! use car cleaner and cmprest air if you can,,good luck mike

Basic things to check:
1) spark plug
2) spark arrestor in muffler
3) fuel lines and tank filter
4) turn adjustment needles out (counterclockwise) 1/4 to 1/2 turn

*if all of the above are OK and/or do not improve performance then:
5) carburetor gaskets/diaphragms

#1 senerio
Fouled spark plug
ie, carbon and or fuel fouled
install new plug, and withouth choking or priming, pull 4-6 times while holding the throttle at wide open.

If not fouled, go to senerio #2

#2 senerio
Fuel starvation - 'lean fuel' condition
Basic things to check:
1) spark plug
2) spark arrestor in muffler
3) fuel lines and tank filter
4) turn adjustment needles out (counterclockwise) 1/4 to 1/2 turn
*if all of the above are OK and/or do not improve performance then:
Remove Carburetor
5) replace gaskets/diaphragms
b) use a spray carb cleaner to clean jets, holes, and body of carb

1. check fuel filter in gas tank (for clogged condition).
2. Check carb jet for dirt (squirt carb cleaner in jet and fuel inlet

Summary: your carb is not getting enough fuel to mix properly with constant air flow. Therefore, fuel supply needs to be cleaned... then you will run happy!!

Yes it will use a fuel mixture of 40:1(3.2 oz of two cycle oil to 1 gallon of gas). Any fuel sitting over 30 days now is considered bad fuel. All the manufacturers schools this year and told us this. We are finding it to be true.
Good day.

It has two screws or at least it should. One with the letter L next to it and the other with the letter H next to it. Turn both in lightly until they seat. Then turn the L screw out 1 1/4 turns and the H screw out 3/4 turn. This should get the unit running unless you have other problems. then fine tuning may be required after you get it running. If it bogs out when throttled turn the L screw out another 1/16 of a turn. Then if it won't rev like it should turn the H screw in 1/16th of a turn.

If this doesn't work then you'll probably need a carburetor kit and tune up.

Good luck

Sounds like you need to adjust the Carb. Take the two plastic caps off and turn each screw 1/2 turn. and then try to start. If it works then out the caps back on (or you can leave them off, they are not needed).
Good luck!

Gas Aluminium Cable head is broke.

Close both the high and low speed air screws (clockwise). Reopen each 1 1/2 turns
