Where were you when i was younger!! Your man gotta be happiest man on earth. !!
Just discovered your link when searching for info on repairing the Echo Blower with No spark. You are a natural at describing what every DIY person wants to see and hear. I ordered the part you graciously provided the p/n for and I am anxious to review your video again as I go through my repair step by step. Thank you again for your help and great clarity with your explanation and review of the product repair. Looking forward to what else I can learn from your repair videos.
You are now my hero. Had this same Echo Blower sitting in my barn and could not figure out it’s issue. Ordered a new Shindaiwa/Echo coil and followed your video step by step.
Now this blower starts on the 1st pull. I couldn’t be happier. Just take your time when putting the blower back together. Only tricky part for me was keeping the new plug wire out of the way for the throttle control when putting it back together. Sending your link to my friends and family!!!
Our blower just stopped after we were just using it. I saw your video, ordered the coil and replaced today. Once I got the wheel on tight...took a few tries, it worked like a charm. I didn’t find your video to remove old boot and spring, but found another video to do that part. Thank you!
Thanks for the great instructions on the repair of my neighbors pb-250 blower. I had diagnosed the issue to the coil then followed your step by step instructions for a complete repair.
I do all this myself but just enjoy watching how you work on equipment. A lot of people can do this but there's always fear that they will make a mistake or forget a part or wreck the machine . Great videos as always stay positive and safe. 👍🇺🇸
Just watched this one. Boy oh boy how far you have come. So much more relaxed and candid.
Great job Bre
I have an Echo ES-250. Would not even cough when I tried to start it. Old school wisdom is that the problem is either fuel or "fahr". Ruled out fuel. Ruled out bad spark plug. Searched a lot of TH-cam videos and found this one. Your instructional was SO WELL DONE! I purchased an ignition kit inexpensively, followed your directions, replaced the coil, and my blower started back up on the first pull. Thanks Chickanic!
I just lost spark on my PB250 today, so glad another lady shows me how to fix mine! Thank you so much!
Good morning, time here is 2:38 am and you just walked me through the coil replacement on my pb250nl. I give you five stars ***** Encore !
This video saved the day! I was ready to give up on this thing but it was a easy fix! Once done it fired right up like new!!! Thanks so much for posting 👍🏻
I was almost ready to buy a new blower then I watched your video…I thought to myself “o yeah baby I can this bad boy apart ; BUT I’ll never get it back together…I was wrong! Your step by step video helped me take my blower apart and put it back together…And it works!😂❤
🙏
Just changed my coil using your video. Works perfect, thanks!
Thank you for the great tutorial. I've looked at several write-ups on PB250LNs on youtube and they all match up with yours to set the Mag gap with a business card. My blower is a 2015, and it has a raised key cast into the flywheel. If I set the gap with a card, the key will strike the coil. I set the gap by rotating the mag to align the key with the coil and setting the gap to barely clear on rotation. Engine starts and runs great.
I just wanted to comment of my successful installation of a Echo magneto or coil as some people say, I followed your instructions a step at a time with my cellphone, pausing it as I went along, My blower didn't start-up as quick as your's did, BUT IT DID COME BACK TO LIFE AS THE GAS FILLED THE LINES. MAN, these dumb ol' girls aren't that dumb after all. Thanks so much. Oh, by the way, I'm 70 yrs. old now with a all most new blower....
This video saved me $100. The blower stopped firing, so I took it to a shop. They said it needed an ignition coil and that it would cost $168, with labor. I new one is $169. So I didn't do that. I then found this video, and found an OEM coil on Amazon for $68. So this saved me $100. The only challenge I had was stopping the piston. So I made sure the piston was all the ways down, before I stuffed a bunch of rope in there. That worked. Thanks!
A great video indeed!……. And a big thank you!….. replaced the coil after 2 years of sitting….. fresh fuel and 3rd pull it fired right up!
Like your attention to little details that I miss when I don't pay attention to them. Excellent!
Thank you so much for this video. I replaced my ignition coil by following your instructions and my Echo is running like new! So helpful!
Thank you again.
That is awesome!!! So glad it helped!
I have the same blower, thank you. 5 years old still perfect. On alcohol fuels extend life. My 1982 lawnboy started on the second pull. A
When I bought it they said it was a life time mower. 20 more years will probably do it.
These videos are so good ! Only watched four so far but good visual, audio, camera angles, script and all that shows good planning. I think. Thanks !
Worked as a tech in a small engine shop as a teen. The old two stroke Lawnboy mowers were neat, but had a problematic ignition system. Got good at changing them . Wish I had stayed and learned more but I had a short attn span. Have showed your channel to a female tech that works in a local Stihl shop.
Nice video! I think you should have first shown how to trouble shoot the coil. A lot of money is wasted on new coils and they are not needed. And a message to Echo. Either you stand behind your product or you don't. Having the consumer just threw hoops, like only covering if it's registered is saying to the consumer "we will cover your product but we will use any conceivable method to get out of it that we can" These company's want loyalty but they think they can pull this nonsense and we just won't notice it, like we are morons.
Thanks fixed my 9 yr old Shred n Vac. Btw used a few drops of dish soap and boot slipped rite off. Love the attentiveness to details. Thanks again. Liked and subscribed.
Great video. Thank you so much for taking the time to make this video. Started right up after I got it all together. I bought the cheaper ignition coil.
So glad you did this video, it will make it so much easier to change my coil. Thanks !
This is my hand held blower ES 250 blower\shredder , it won't start. replaced the carb. Checked the screen, replaced the pulley I think the spring end was bent. Checked the piston looks good. I can pull the cord but it's jerky, when I have the spark plug out it pulls easier like butter. Just ordered a spark tester, new spark plug but cant see it with my old eyes..Heard a rattle when I could pull the cord, about 4 inches stop then pull it another 4 inches and so on..Checked the fly wheel the key is missing hoping this is it. Will test the spark plug tomorrow. But with all this said I couldn't have done it without your tutorials. THANKS , your my hero...Have a great day! I kind of enjoy tinkering..My next hobby.
Thanks a lot , Chicanic, I fixed my blower, you are so helpful.
Awesome repair video. I replaced mine on my 5 yr old Echo and it’s back up and running. Saved me from buying a new one. Started on first pull as well. Only thing I didn’t see here is that echo calls for blue lock thread on that impeller bolt and to Torq it to 130-140 Lbs. Found that on a separate video and I followed that as well. Also installing the boot head on the new coil was simple as well. I just swapped it from the original.
Thanks Chickanic for a great video as always. Another video shows the fan hub (holds flywheel in place) being put on finger tight with one drop of blue Loctite. Then it shows the fan being installed with one drop of Loctite on the bolt, making sure the washer is oriented correctly, then torqued to 130-140 inch/lbs and recommends waiting 24 hrs for the Loctite to fully cure. I imagine a lot of shops omit the Loctite as unnecessary overkill, but I use it as recommended by Echo.
Wow. Thanks. Your my new go to for repairs
I just ripped my pb250ln apart and changed the carburetor, thought that was my issue....come to find out there's no spark!!🤨, now I'm gonna go get that ignition coil and hopefully that's gonna solve my problem. I really liked my little echo, been trying to fix it for the past 4 months, here and there when I have time. I have a landscaping business I just started and this blower was monumental during my first season. I'm going to fix it, but I'm also going to just go ahead and get myself a nice battery system blower since some of our local boroughs are changing the laws on gas powered lawn equipment and I'll have to go battery anyway in certain areas.
What a great video the step by step instructions was so helpful. Thank you
Outstanding video very easy to follow your instructions, your the best! Thanks
I wish I had more of you in my City I need a good Mechanic for my shop.
34,000 views, maybe 18 people accidentally disliked the video. Y'all show some respect for this lady! She's got a yt channel showing y'all how to fix your stuff for free, in turn taking money out of her pocket.
Many thanks for this video Bre!! You've saved me time and money!! 🙏
Very good video. I had a unusual problem with my blower. I had no spark and I isolated the problem to the coil. I installed a replacement coil and still no spark. I then decreased the clearance from the coil to the flywheel and there was a slight spark but not enough to start the engine. I then increased the clearance and I had a very strong spark despite the clearance being double what the specs call for. I've never encountered this before.
Thank you for the info and video. You are very talented. Blessings to you.
Exactly what I needed! Awesome video! Thanks so much! Definitely subbed!
Excellent! Made the repair job easy. Thank you
Thanks for showing the video, it’s very helpful.
Thank you so much! That fixed my blower😊🎉
Excellent presentation. Thanks
Excellent tutorial, worked out great. Thank you...
Thanks for making the video - great job explaining!
Awesome tutorial! I have my bosses now to do the same to. Appreciate it!
Good morning. I've done this and so much work on these.
Thanks for a great tutorial...mission accomplished!
Thank You.You are Awesome.Richard.
Very nice explanation. Thanks
Great video! nice trick to use the rope as a pistonstop! 🙂
Okay I'm hooked on your channel now, really enjoy watching
I''m so embarrassed, a dumb ol' girl showing me how to fix my Echo. Boy am I behind in the times. 69 yrs.old and I still don't know everything. Great job of instruction. I bought 2 at the same time. Good thing. Echo makes a residential and a commercial version. Home Depot displays the Commercial but only sells the Residential model. I discovered why the price was so low, only after buying 2, but they still are the best blowers out there. Thanks again for the excellent instruction. I'm retired now or else I'd buy a new one and save this one for parts.
Great video, easy repair with your guidance.
Thank you Chicanic (never did hear your name), highly professional and very descriptive on the coil replacement process.
Thank you! I was able to do it by myself!
Grasias for your video I fix my same blower same problem thank you so mucho God bless you
Nice job videos are doing well and simple to understand
Thanks! so much!!!
THANKS, I was ready to buy a new $190 blower and now it's fixed with a $25 coil.
Brilliant Video thank you very much.
Thank you so much for the video. Is there a way to determine - ahead of time - if it's the coil or the ignition switch? I've replaced carburetor, filters, spark plug, etc. and put in new fuel but don't see the spark plug making any spark, so I think it's either the coil or the ignition switch.
Thanks for the video!
Thank you, thank you couldn’t have done it with out the great video you made!
How about replacing the carburetor on the same blower?
what a great video ty so much
its great to see lady small engine mechanics like yourself, more please Trevor, Suffolk,England
I had forgotten the string to lock up the engine trick, thanks
Buenísimo trabajo
Perfect video!
Wow replacing 5he coil is pretty labor intensive I can see why it cost so much to replace, Your right depending on the age of the unit, maybe would be better to replace
Excellent!!!
Thank you! This was perfect instructions to help me replace my ignition coil!
Hello again. Nice video. Thanks
Never done a blower you made it look so easy thanks hun your a star x
Awesome video! If you want to reduce the wind noise try getting a “Love Hey Mic” from Amazon. They do a great job of eliminating wind noise. I used to do walk around videos and that mic really helped!
On a second note, I have a STIHL FS70R. Could you do a video on carb adjustment. I think I’ve got the darn thing running to rich and idling to fast. It’s just over two years old and smokes bad
Thank You that was Great Work
I've replaced the carb (new) but my Echo Blower still won't start. Replaced the coil (new); still won't start. Thanks for the great videos and step-by-step instructions (I wouldn't attempt things like this without!), but what do I try next?
I subbed, great video, and fix.
Great video! I swapped the coil but still have no spark. How do you test a coil to see if it's bad? Does it have a certain resistance across it or is there some other way to do a quick test?
UPDATE: It turns out I received a bad coil (dead on arrival). I got another replacement and now everything works. BTW, the quick way to test the coil and check for spark is to remove the spark plug from the engine, attach it to the coil wire, hold the threads of the spark plug against the engine, and give the starter cable a pull. You should see sparks jump the gap in the plug. If you don't see sparks, the coil is bad.
Nice video! That business card gap part threw me off.
Thanks for the video. Solved same issue on an ES-250 shred vac.
You're awesome!
👍 nice , the carb needs a little adjustment to get rid of the 4 stroking
Little tip if you car. If you use a impact 3/8-1/2 can just hold flywheel with your hand to loosen or tighten 🔧🔧 no rope needed but ik everyone does that as I use to before impacts lol
thank you!
Thanks girl...
Was wondering what actually cause the coil to go bad splice wire or broken ,???? Any ideas 🖐️
QUESTION - I have same ECHO BLOWER new from dealer (4 hours away unfortunately). Since day one the engine will not rev up to peak unless I run it hard for about 7 minutes? Is this typical or maybe a safety feature built in to blower? I have 2 Echo products and love them but each has a quirk. Blower won't rev up and a new 501P saw that leaks bar oil like the Titanic! Really getting into your videos, thank you.
I have this same blower and its about 8 or 9 years old now and has been great. Lately though, itll crank and run great but if you cut it off and try to restart...it won't. You have to let it cool down for 20-30 mins and then itll start up again. Does this sound like it could be the coil?
Thanks!
I used the blower to blow a fluffy snow and it stopped blowing... could the blow back have caused the coil to defect? I'll be coming back to this when I purchase the new one for reference. liked and subscribed!
Hey chick,do you know what type or size screws holds the pulley assembly together?Its 4 screws but I lost them and had no luck replacing them with phillip screws.Any suggestions?
Great I have I bought from garage sale like new none fired up thanks
Cant you remove the impeller with an impact wrench to avoid using the string?
Awesome!!!!!!!!
I’m getting spark with the spark tester. But, not when I ground the spark plug alone. I’m thinking it’s still the coil! What do you think?
I have the es 250 version of that blower. The problem that I’m having with mine is that it gets to hot. It gets so hot that the blower will shut off. I have to wait 10 or 15 minutes for the blower to cooldown to turn it back on. Any idea what might be going on with the machine?
Chickanic, What is the minimum compression psi for one of these engines to run? Thank you.
Thanks, haven’t tried to fix my blower yet but will tomorrow. I hope I can figure out how to install the spark plug connector since I can’t find a video on that replacement.
I still need to make a dedicated video on how to do it, but this video will show you. Thanks for watching!

How do you put a spring and Buren back in a weed eater shaft from Keithien Mason
I was using my blower the other day and it just stopped. I changed the ignition coil and put a new carburetor on it and it still won't fire.
I have compression, spark and fuel and it will not fire. The only thing I can think of is on/off switch may have failed. Any suggestions?
Also, it's about 10 years old I think. I don't want to put more money in to it. I may buy a new one at this point!
