    Question:
    My 130 BT blower was purchased a couple of years ago. The gas leak in the back now makes it unusable. I can't determine where the leak is coming from. Is this an easy repair? From a cost standpoint should I have it repaired or simply toss the entire machine and purchase another?

      It should be fairly easy to repair as I suspect it is just leaky fuel lines. On this model the IPL indicates that they are moulded into a grommet that is install into the tank which would easier to install than individual lines.

      From the cost view point I would repair it as long as the rest of the unit is in good condition.

      BTW fuel lines going bad is a common issue on most 2 cycle equipment.

      I have a similar problem. If left for a while, I'll find an empty tank. Fuel lines do not appear to be the source.
