Question:
I bought my 350BT leaf blower in October, 2014. It worked great last fall. I ran the gas tank completely dry for winter storage to keep the fuel from gumming up the carb. Today I bought new pre-mixed fuel and attempted to use it. The engine will start and run while choked. When the choke is switched off, it will sputter and die. It will idle while choked. It is obviously getting fuel to the carb. Any idea what is wrong?
Answer
I know you don't want to hear this but carburetor does sounds like it still going to need a cleaning. Even though you ran it dry sometimes fuel is still in the metering circuits. Sometimes all it takes is for the mixture screws be seated and then readjusted to clear the stoppage.
