I have rebuilt, fixed etc many small engines, outboards and automobile engines. Fathers church has an Echo PB-265L back pack leaf blower and asked if I would take a look at it. They said they couldn't get it started. I said sure.
Blower is in really good shape, I have taken a first and what I consider very thorough stab at it and I am kind of scratching my head now.
Usually its the carb, looked it up and it was $16.00 for a new carb, air cleaner, fuel lines and fuel filter, so I bought that and just replaced it all.
1.) Confirmed I have spark
2.) Confirmed I have fuel to the cylinder
3.) Confirmed not sucking air
4.) Cleaned the Spark Arestor
5.) Compression test came in at 120, plenty to run
6.) When I replaced the carb, I drained the tank and added fresh fuel
Still NOTHING when you pull it over, its as if the kill switch was bad, BUT I have spark. I tested the switch and current moves through it, also confirmed spark when it is on and no spark when the kill switch is engaged.
I have no wire issues either. Maybe the spark is too weak? I shot some started fluid in the cylinder and it wont kick over.
I am at a complete loss with this one. Any recommendations or direction would be greatly appreciated. There honeslty isn't really much more I can do to it, it is pretty simplistic. I have attached the link to the manuals and parts catalog for those that are curious.
