Question:
No start 125b blower.
I have a 125b blower that I've had for years and has been excellent. I run it at least weekly. A few days ago, I went to start it and it just wouldn't fire. The compression is about 110, and it appears to have spark. Thinking it was fuel related, I bought a carb kit from a local dealer. I cleaned and installed the new carb kit with new fuel lines. New plug. Drained and put in fresh gas. Still no start.
Looking at the spark, it's hard to see but there is a spark. I have a spark tester. How big of a gap should I check? The spark is hard to see. Is it possible that the coil is too weak or should I check something else?
Thanks for your help.

Also, I checked to make sure the fuel filter was clear and I checked the screen on the muffler which is also clean. When i've tried starting it, I can see that the plug is wet so I know it's getting fuel. I'm also trying to start without the air filter attached in case that's plugged. Still no go.

Another update. I checked the spark again and set it at about 3/16 to 1/4 and it looks good. Next I tried spraying starter fluid in the carb and nothing. I'm really baffled. Any suggestions?
