It started to bog down when it ran and eventually got to the point where it would start but would stop after a few seconds of running. I checked the usually stuff like the air filter and made sure it had enough gas. It was like it was starving for fuel.
I did some digging on the Internet and found folks taking about the bogging could be due to the fuel lines. I took a look at my fuel lines and they were old and very hard, so I figured there could be a crack in one of them causing it not to get the fuel it needs.
I researched more and found a company that offered parts for my model. I did a Google search for my model name. I think it was from repair clinic.com. I ordered a new fuel filter, replacement fuel lines ( there were two, one was larger in diameter than the other).
When they came in, I carefully looked at how the tubes were ran on the blower so I could reinstall everything once I got it taken apart.
Once I got everything put back together with the new fuel lines and filter I cranked it up, and it ran like a champ!!
The parts cost me around 15 dollars and took me maybe 20 minutes to install and now my blowers runs as good as new!
