Service & Maintenance Question posted October 22, 2017 by jim owenQuestion:I have a 350bt leaf blower a couple years old lightly used. It only runs fully choked, if I try to use it dies right away, it starts and idles fully choked tho. took the carb apart and it looks clean, but the diaphragms look soft and worn out, what do I do?- Service & Maintenance Question posted October 8, 2017 by Russell BQuestion:I have purchased 4 different 150b blowers and they will run 20-30 seconds then die. This is with running the premix fuel purchased at the same time to extend the warranty. I have contacted customer support and the best thing they could offer was to take to service center when purchasing for a adjustment. Does Husqvarna have a quality control department that actually test these units before sending them out? Seems strange to have to power equipment in immediately after buying it.
- Service & Maintenance Question posted August 31, 2017 by Richard StewartQuestion:Hello
I currently own a Poulan Pro Pp46Bt 46cc 2-Cycle 220 Mph 490 Cfm Heavy-Duty Gas Backpack Leaf Blower Model # 967086901. I need to buy a replacement carburetor. The old one is a RUI ING H119-6 (see attached pic).
I contacted Poulan Pro customer service and the reps provide very little help.
First rep: told me to put fresh gas and I would have no problem. (I did this and had the same problem. Machine would stall out when I press full throttle).
2nd rep: said I needed a new carburetor. Gave me part # listed on parts manual and told me part was on back order. 3 week wait plus would charge me $30+ for the part. (I look all over the web for the part # and could not find it)
3rd rep: I ask why the part # was impossible to find since this was a new 2016 machine. She could not tell me the brand of carburetor or confirm if the part # provided was correct. Even ask a supervisor with no luck.
I took out the carburetor from machine. It is a RUI ING H119-6. I google the part, only thing I could find was H119 (no -6).
Can someone confirm the proper replacement carburetor for my machine and where I can get one. I don't understand why this is so hard and why the carburetor is not readily available.
Thank you

- Service & Maintenance Question posted July 21, 2017 by Brendon CollQuestion:Brand New Husqvarna 350 BT Blower won't idle without choke?Details:
I purchased a new 350BT blower and attempted to start for the first time. It started right away but as I went to turn the choke off it would sputter. If I applied any throttle with the choke off it would bog out and cut off. I also purchased (at the same time) a new 525 trimmer and a 240 Chainsaw and filled them all with the same 93 Octane - Ethanol free gas and mixed with the appropriate amount of 2-stroke oil for 2.5 gallons of gas. Those other pieces of equipment are running great so I don't think it is the gas. I checked the spark plug and it was fouled with a black sticky/oily looking substance. I replaced the plug and the issue persisted. I checked the plug and it was starting to gather this same oil. I started the blower briefly with the air filter out to see if this could be a source of the issue and there was no change. Also noted the same black oil coming out of the muffler holes on the back of the pack. Have a feeling this is a decently significant issue. Plan to take it back to the dealer, but curious if anyone has had this same issue and what exactly might be causing this.
Thanks,
Brendon

It builds wile running and eventually causes a short on the plug such that it can not be started.
The material is rather firm when clearing it.Photo:

- Service & Maintenance Question posted June 5, 2017 by ALBERT DE ANGELOQuestion:I received a 125B leaf blower as a Christmas gift. I have used it 4 times and have had difficulty when I throttle it manually. It continually shuts off. I use only Tru Fuel 50:1 Pre Mixed Fuel 93 octane, ethanol-free formula Ethanol-free formula.
Why should I need a service center?
This seems to be a Manufacturing problem as far as I have a read. You always give the excuse of using gas with ethanol as the culprit. I think a return to the mfg is in order. How do I go about this. - Service & Maintenance Question posted May 19, 2017 by Linda DixQuestion:I have a 350BT leaf blower. Have always used the pre mix 50:1 oil and the blower will not start.
