    Question:
    i have a 125B blower that is approx 5 yrs old. the blower runs very poorly, even on non-ethanol gas. the carburetor appears to be loose where it attaches to the engine. the air cleaner housing is tight. how do i get access to the carb mounting bolts in order to tighten?

      Not an easy thing to get to as they are on the bearing cap (lower end of the cylinder) for the engine. You're going to disassemble the engine housing to get to them. Don't loosen items 34, only tighten or replace items 33.

      Two screws there holds the carburetor plate (adapter). You also probably will need the the rubber boot that foes between the adapter and the cylinder.

      There is a bit of a maze of disassembly required to access all of the fasteners on this unit.  On a well worn machine the fasteners located behind the impeller, flywheel and "under" the intake manifold may work themselves loose.  The lower crankcase screws mentioned above are also a common trouble spot.  A little patience and loctite can bring the life back to many of these blowers.
