This is easy enough to check. There are 4 screws that secure the recoil starter to the engine. Remove these 4 screws and remove the starter assembly. Pull on the rope and see if the starter is operating properly. If not, go to your local Echo dealer and get a new one...they are about $30. Also try to turn the starter cup by hand to see if the engine is locked up. If the engine is locked up, remove the spark plug and try to turn the starter cup again. If it is still locked up, then the repairs would cost more than a new blower.
Good luck!

Replace pull cord

Echo is one of the easiest pull cords to fix, remove the screws on the rewind and take off the motor and flip it over and pull old rope out and put new rope in wind the spring the correct way so when you pull rope it tightens spring so it will wind back up when let go, not winding too tight !

My echo bp260l back pack will not crank , i can spray carb. cleaner in it. when i pull rope to crank, it runs for a few seconds

please check your muffler for blockage

check manifold gasket and carb gasket for leaking - sucking air

check for loose barrell bolts - leaking base gasket

check fuel lines and fuel filter and tank breather

pressume spark and compression are good cause it runs on prime

if everything check out

rekit carb with carb rebuild kit and reassemble

Hello, what would cause the blower to lose it horsepower? have about 10psi any suggestions

Maybe a plugged intake. Maybe a broken impeller. Air filter partly plugged causing reductiion of power. Check those things and I think you will find the problem. Good luck...Lee

I have a Echo PB 2601 made a loud bang then stoped working.

Sounds like it has seized up. If the pull cord won't pull then the motor is locked up. Did you run gas/oil mix for the fuel its a 2 cycle motor...

Echo backpack blower stops after 20 minutes

Make sure the fuel tank cap inlet valve is working properly, this will allow a vapor lock if it is not. Then check the fuel line in tank to make sure the pickup filter is not hung up in tank thereby allowing the fuel to get below the pickup. Also check the fuel line for holes. You can also try toro.com customer care, manuals and parts, type in model no. then get owners manual and see if in troubleshooting section it list this problem.
