Default Echo PB-265L Leaf Blower (I know not a cub, but need some thoughts)

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.

Cub Cadet is a premium line of outdoor power equipment, established in 1961 as part of International Harvester. During the 1960s, IH initiated an entirely new line of lawn and garden equipment aimed at the owners rural homes with large yards and private gardens. There were a wide variety of Cub Cadet branded and after-market attachments available; including mowers, blades, snow blowers, front loaders, plows, carts, etc. Cub Cadet advertising at that time harped on their thorough testing by "boys - acknowledged by many as the world's worst destructive force!". Cub Cadets became known for their dependability and rugged construction.

MTD Products, Inc. of Cleveland, Ohio purchased the Cub Cadet brand from International Harvester in 1981. Cub Cadet was held as a wholly owned subsidiary for many years following this acquisition, which allowed them to operate independently. Recently, MTD has taken a more aggressive role and integrated Cub Cadet into its other lines of power equipment.
