I do not know of why putting on a carb would make it hard to pull the rope unless something got bound up putting it back together. Pull out the spark plug and try it. That will eliminate too much fuel in the cylinder. Take off the pull rope to make sure it is ok. Try to turn the motor by hand.

SOURCE: ard Broom leaf blower, pull rope problem

Hi,

Like most mechanical problems, your concern would require the disassembly for visual inspection. Offhand, the problem could be a loose nut or lock. If you have not performed a similar repair before, then perhaps it is best for you to make use of a repair manual or at least an exploded diagram to give you an idea how the parts are interconnected. If you would be uncomfortable performing a DIY (do-it-yourself), then perhaps your best bet would be to seek the services of a qualified professional.

A simplified repair sheet may be of additional help.

Hope this be of initial help/idea. Pls post back how things turned up or should you need additional information.

Good luck and kind regards. Thank you for using FixYa.

SOURCE: My leaf blower will not start, It keeps flooding

To start: turn the choke off, hold the throttle wide open and crank. You have a carb problem but this should get you going. John

Remove the in tank fuel filter and take it apart, the felt Echo uses on the filter clogs quickly. There is still a mesh screen filter in the assembly so make sure you put it all back together and reinstall the fuel filter into the tank.

Cant start my craftsman leaf blower

Chances are your carburator has dirt in it.
It doesn't take much to clog those little carbs.
Empty the gas tank and clean it.
Purchase a can of small engine carburator cleaner. Comes in a spray can for about $5 at Home Depot or Lowes.
Remove the carburator and disassemble it.
Soak the body in clean gasoline for about 15 minutes if you can, agitate it to help the gas disolve any clogs.
Clean the ports with the spray cleaner to blow out any debris.
Reassemble and remount the carb.
Remove, clean and gap the spark plug
Refuel the gas tank with new clean gas

My Echo Blower Model: PB 755 T was working fine I stopped it to put more gas and now it won't start,

spray carb clean in the carb, just a shot with throttle all the way open then try starting, If it fires then you have a fuel problem,like maybe the filter in tank dirty or dirt made it to carb or needle valve is stuck in carb.

I have a new echo PB250 Leaf blower and it will not keep running. It starts fine but shuts off after a few seconds.

sounds like a dirty carb, dissamble it and rinse good with carb clean, be careful when taking the top off it that you get it back together the same spray the white center good and all little holes good. then reassemble, also try to loosen your gas cap maybe first before cleaning carb, you might have a plugged vent in the line coming out of the tank. Good Luck

My echo leaf blower shuts down after a few minutes of operation, I have replaced fuel lines and Gas

I would also take the air filter element off and clean and reoil it. You may be pulling sufficient fuel, but if there isn't enough air in the mix, your leaf blower will stall out.
I would clean the air filter, and you may want to take the carb unit off and spray it out with aerosol carb cleaner. The carb cleaners are available at local auto parts houses, and it comes with a small spray tube to put on the nozzle so you can pinpoint the spray into the carb jets etc.

Also change your spark plug as they get fouled due to the fuel oil mixture..
best of success!
