    Question:
    I have a 150BT backpack blower. The throttle lever off switch no longer kills the engine. I have to flood it to turn it off. Any ideas of what's wrong or how to fix?

      There is a few possibles.

      • The on/off switch assembly may sprung back enough to prevent it from contacting the metal shorting strip. Simple bend back into position if not cracked or broken.
      • The wiring harness may have a break in it requiring either repairs or replacement.
      • The ignition could have internally and is no longer capable shutting off the ignition. Easy to for this condition by removing current kill wire and attaching a short length of insulated wire to the terminal and grounding to cylinder when the engine running if the coil is good the engine will shut down. If not then the coil pack is bad and needs replacing.
