My echo pb-201 hand held leaf blower starts and runs for about 2 minutes then begins to sputter and stop. Sometimes I can get it to work for about 4 minutes but then stops.

Simply use a srewdriver to adjust the mixture screw. Its located on the carburator. Clockwise is lean, counterclockwise is rich. If you can get the thing to idle, let it warm up first. Adjust the mixture lean until it just starts to sputter, then adjust it rich 1/2 turn. Test full throttle, if it sputters, you can adjust the mixture a little more rich so that it runs good at full throttle.
I would suggest steering away from investing in 2 cycle engines for a pawn shop, unless you can see them running. These little engines are very picky and they only run well if they are in good shape. If you cant get them to start easily, there is probably a lot of internal wear/damage and these engines are hard to find parts and are not cheap to fix.
Bad investments would include 2 cycle leaf blowers, trimmers, chainsaws, boat motors, and motorcycles that do not start easily. Believe me, they are a headache to fix.
I just fixed my Echo PB 2100 with the same issue. It would start, run, all throttle openings OK but would not rev-up. It was a dirty/clogged screen on the muffler. Scraped the thick tar off then used Lacquer Thinner to soak it clean. Blower works better than ever now....
