Mine was bogged down, and I thought it was the hi/low settings and then I thought it was the oil mixture, etc. until I saw your video, I bought my backpack blower for residential use and I’ve had it at least 25 years so you could imagine how bad the carbon buildup was thank you.
Jeffrey! Thank you for the update and for trusting this fix. It’s pretty cool how the problem is mostly this and how easy it is to fix. People are always amazed and I’m just glad to share the information. Thanks again for the support and comment!
100% the issue we had. Pulled the spark arrestor and it was plugged solid! Ran great without the arrestor installed :-)
Nice Josh! That’ll work
Too!!!! I’m glad it worked for you! Thanks for letting me know!
Thank you for this video. You saved me a very expensive trip to the repair shop
Thank You Kathy! I’m really glad I could help saving you some money!!! Appreciate the comment and support :)

None! Awesome my friend! I’m so glad it worked and helped you out. Thank you for the comment and support. It’s most appreciated! Stoney 😎
Well I have never subscribed , thumbs up, liked. But This video prompted me to do so. I was going to take this to my Stihl repair shop. I first checked my spark plug and then went to this video. I am always a bit skeptical but this cleaning of the carbon off with.the blow torch worked without a problem. It doubled my blower power and now runs fantastic. I've had my blower for about 8 years and NEVER Cleaned this or even knew it was there. Thank You Stoney Creek for the tip !
Let’s go Ken!!! Thank you so much for telling me this! You must have clean gas because I have to clean mine every few months or so, but yes, it’s so easy!
Well I’m really glad it helped you fixed your problem and saved you some money! That’s always the best part!
Welcome again to the channel. I do DIY stuff when it breaks but I’m mostly into gold prospecting. I hope you like it. 😎 Stoney!
Thank you! I was about to buy a new one because I had to get a new carburetor last year and did not want to put a bunch of money into this one this year. You saved me some money just before Christmas! Thanks!
That’s great Dan! Thanks for the positivity and I’m glad I saved you some of that hard earned cash! Especially during the holiday season! Merry Christmas to you and your family! Thanks again for the comment and support! Much appreciated!

That helped a lot! Maybe not perfect but much better! Thank you for the quick fix
Thanks DrLaserEye1! I’m glad it works better for you. I know for me. It’s the only thing I need to do to fix my blower. It gets fairly light home use, but I find myself having to clean it every few weeks with my heavy use. You may have something else going on but either way, I’m glad I could help. Spring has sprung and I’m happy to start cleaning up the outside! Thanks again for your support.
Thanks Man you were exactly right . My machine is running good thanks. I touched it.
Thanks Pete

Oh heck yea Don! Thank you so much!!! I’ve had to do mine a few times this fall already. Always fixes it!! Now get back to work! Haha! Thanks again my friebd
What a great tip! Fixed my blower!🙂 Please advise the part number for the new spark arrester. I want to have a spare one on hand.
Thanks for coming by and checking this out Steve! Yea it fixes mine every time. As for a part number, I don’t have one. I remember when I went in there they had like 3 different types depending on the model so yea if you go in or call a store that sells replacement parts, just make sure you know your model number. When I first went in there I blanked when the guy asked which I had, so I had to go back to the house and take a looksie! Thanks again Steve!!
Hey brother Steve! I just called the place I got mine from and they gave me this number… 1406905. Hope that helps

No thank god for you
@@tyeshonjones 😎😎😎
I should just throw every arrestor in the garbage at this point
Lol, are they getting clogged fast or are you just saying they are garbage and hinder more than do good? I have to clean mine every month or so, so I understand it gets clogged often.
I bet this is about a spark arrester, yep, knew it
Ding ding ding!
Livesaver..
Let’s go Grayson! I’m glad this helped you! Appreciate the support my friend!
This is BS don’t waste your time
Hey Logan. Thanks for the comment and sorry if this didn’t work for you. Like I said, it may be one of the problems for a bogged down blower and it’s helped many people. Hope you can get it back into action. Thanks again.
Many of us have been helped by this great video!
@stevedyer5902 hey thanks Steve! I really appreciate that and I don’t worry about the hate. There are always going to be trolls out there. Someone had another issue with their blower and since this video didn’t help them, they decided to bash it because that’s the easiest thing to do. I appreciate the comment and support my fiend. You rock Steve!
