Very helpful. A couple of notes: firstly, the two pieces of the green housing slide laterally onto to the black plastic barrel shroud (adjacent to the big exclamation mark warning triangle), so use a flat screwdriver to slide the halves apart once the screws are removed. Don't try to force them apart from the back. Secondly, each white wire crimp can easily be un-crimped with small (8 inch) plumber's pliers like the Stanley STHT8440. Just use the diamond-shaped gap between the jaws to trap the crimped area and squeeze the metal clip open. It's unfortunate that the switch costs about $25, or about a quarter of the cost of an entire bare replacement tool.
So happy to hear that this video was helpful. I have to give the credit to my Bud who actually shot and edited this video to be placed on my channel. All the best, friend.
Hello, @TimaKuleshov. It depends on the size (amp-hours) of the battery pack. These leaf blower motors can draw upwards of 10 amps per hour, so if we use a 4-amp-hour battery, it could, theoretically, run for 4/10 hours (24 minutes) on full blast. There are usually huge disparities between theory and practice; efficient loss, state of charge, temperature, true/apparent power, etc... so I anticipate 6 minutes. Good luck.
I wasn’t paying attention and lost the spring. Ugh. Now it runs better but has only one speed. Before, the turbo speed wasn’t working. Would you assume I should get a spring?

Thanks for the tip, Bud; will have to credit this one to my childhood friend who donated this content to help out my budding channel.
Thanks for your video and part link. Worked for me. I saved money repairing my elderly parents’ Ryobi leaf blower. All is good.

Hello. Tell me, approximately how many minutes does one battery last?

Can I have link for this turbo switch replacement
The link is in the description, Bud. Good luck with your repair. 🙂

Too complicated for me.
My leaf blower stopped working...
Keep at it, Friend. If it's already broken, you have nothing to lose in opening it up and attempting to fix it.
@@SuperWhizy True, thanks.
