Why is my Leaf Blower not Working Properly?

Is your leaf blower not starting at all?

Check the fuel tank. Is the tank filled to an appropriate level?

Check the fuel pipe. Is there anything clogging it?

Is the spark plug properly positioned?

Check the spark plug. Is it damaged or dirty?

Check the carburetor. Is there any debris stuck inside it?

Check the air filter. Is it dirty or clogged?

Does your leaf blower start but then die down while working?

Check the fuel pipe. Is there any obstruction in the pipe?

Check the spark arrestor. Is it clogged?

Check the fuel filter. Is it dirty or clogged?

Is the blower starting but having other trouble?

Is there a problem with accelerating the blower?

Is your blower failing to deliver sufficient air?

Is your leaf blower heavily vibrating?

First fill the tank with fuel as the blower requires fuel to turn on.

First clean the pipe as a clogged pipe will not allow fuel to pass to the engine.

Reposition the spark plug according to the leaf blower's specification and try again.

Clean the plug or replace it with a new one as an old spark plug may cause the blower to not start.

Clean the carburetor using a specialized cleaning solution and then fill it with fuel and try again.

If the air filter is clogged, the engine will get too much fuel and not enough air. As a result, the engine might not start. Clean the filter or replace it and try again.

Contact the leaf blower's original manufacturer or get in touch with a professional as the problem may be with the engine.

Clean the pipe as a clogged pipe will not allow fuel to pass to the engine.

If the spark arrestor is clogged, the engine may stall. To unclog the spark arrestor, remove it and clean it or replace it with a new one.

A clogged fuel filter is most commonly caused by leaving old fuel in the leaf blower. First clean the filter or replace it and try again.

If the air filter is clogged, the engine will not get enough air. As a result, the engine may stall. Clean the filter or replace it and try again.

If you are unable to get your leaf blower to accelerate, check the fuel and air filter as if any filter is dirty, the engine comes under strain, which leads to lower power.

If the blower fails to deliver sufficient air, most likely the cause is with the impeller as if the impeller's fins are bent, cracked or otherwise damaged, air will not pass through freely. So you'll need to replace it.

First check all the fasteners. If there is any loose one, tighten it and then try again.
