I purchased a 350BT about a month ago and used it for the first time. Every time I tried to open the choke, the engine stalled. I cleaned my yard on half-choke and then I began to wonder if the choke sticker was upside down. The choke sticker had "closed" at the top and "open" at the bottom (the text was upside down). Am I correct that the sticker was incorrectly placed upside down at the factory? Thus, is "UP" open and "DOWN" closed?
Is there an easy way to install and remove the vacuum tube from the body of the blower? It is always a struggle to get it off, and not that easy to put back on. Are my hands just weak, or is there a trick to it?
Difference betweem the Husky 150 BT and 350 BT: The explanation for difference between the Husky 350BT and the 150 BT was the shroud and blower tubes. Can you advise if the the 350BT is more efficient in blowing leaves because of the 494 CFM's ? Or are both machines equal in performance ?
I have a 125B blower. Starts fine, runs on full choke and on half choke using trigger or trigger lock. When choke if off it will only run with trigger lock on full (or almost) max. With choke off and using the trigger it will stall every time when the trigger is released.
I just bought a 150BT back pack blower from Lowes yesterday (1/14/12). I assembled it, fueled it with the right mix of gas and 2-cycle oil.
It start up fine and worked well for a few minutes. It then started stalling and quitting. I could immediately start it again, but then it would quit again.
What are the major differences between the 150BT blower and the 350BT? They seem to have the same motor but the airspeed on the 150BT is spec'd at 251mph and the 350BT is only 180mph? Why is it not the same or higher on the "more expensive" model?
