Question:
Re: 125B blower. I seem to be in company with others who have had less than favorable experience with this leaf blower. My problem is that it starts as per instructions and will perform very good until you stop it. It will not start again until the engine cools completely. A trouble call to your answer army and a lady told me that I had a bad ignition coil. I did not buy this as spark plug fires ok. I do my own small engine maintenance as I had a course in small engines in college. I find it cheaper to do my own work and stay away from repair stations.
Any help appreciated. Don Robertson dcr@nexusla.net

Answer
It still could be the ignition coil as these now have small computer chip in the trigger circuit that control timing. A good example of this was a Homelite chainsaw that I was working on for a customer. It would and idle all day but as soon you tried to go to full it would bog down and start backfiring through the carburetor. And then at other times it would run great. It me nearly a week of working on it daily trying different things that would normally cause this problem. I finally decided to try a new coil and problem was fixed. And spark plugs can fire fine when not under compression and then fail under compression or when they get hot.
