Question:
I just purchased a Model#:125BVX blower/vac.
I mixed new gas/fuel stabilizer, and then with the oil that came with the unit.
The blower starts great. First pull. However, it runs great for 30 seconds to 1 minute, then just quits.
When I pull the starter cord, it fires right back up, runs, then stops. I have let it sit for 15 minutes to cool down, then started it again, same result.
Please help, I purchased this solely so I would not have any problems like with my past units.
***UPDATE***
Took unit back to Lowe's. They thought it may be running too rich due to the fuel stabilizer. I purchased a brand new gallon can, new oil, got exactly one gallon of new gas, emptied gas from blower and replaced with new mix.
Blower ran for 10 minutes (until heated up) and then stopped. Restarted, stopped. Restarted, 30 seconds run, stop.
Really?

Thank you for contacting the AnswerARMY.
It is upsetting that you have had this experience.
We recommend the use of fuel stabilizers. The problem you describe is that you are only running the choked fuel from the unit. This is not normal or common.
This would need to be inspected by an authorized service center, it sounds like a fuel delivery issue.
