I can't get my blower to start using the manufacture's instructions. Are there any other methods people are using? This is the first start

Check the spark plug gap and don't over prime it floods easily I would return it sounds like you got a bad one mine started no problem I primed until fuel was visible in the bubble then it turned on the 3rd pull amazon has the best return policy just let them know and they will make it right

Do you hear the motor speed drop as well? And are you running the hot air rework at the same time. It did it to me the other night I had the iron, rework wand, and the smoke absorber on all at the same time. And when the heating element kicked in my air would drop. Then come back when the iron turned off, then start again when the iron needed to heat. Did you remove the red plug from the bottom? And if that fails crack it open and see if any lines are loose, or cracked. If all else fails write me back and I'll help ya more if I can.-patrick

I cross checked the part number on the blower with the one they have listed.it worked very well on mine.more power than before.

If the blower does start up, but dies after a short period of time it more than likely is the batteries. Try one to start with. I had the same problem and it was the batteries. Leave it on the charger long enough to get a charge also. I think offhand it is about 2-3 hours to charge, but I usually leave it on the charger for a day or two. They are ni-cad batteries, and can and will develop a memory if not discharged completely. It made all the difference in the world to have the new battery. My old ones are about 6 years old and only hold the charge for a few minutes of blowing before dropping off to almost nothing.

I installed mine in the middle of a duct run. I attached duct adapters to each side of the blower then I installed it to the ducts. I found it impossible to attach it directly to the ducts. I also purchased an extension cord device that had a remote control feature. One thing I will tell you is that with this installed, unless it is running, little air flow will make it through the booster fan. Otherwise it's amazing. I only wish I could connect it somehow so it would turn on and off with the central air on/off. Good luck. The only mistake I made was not buying the bigger unit. I wish I had bought the 10" and used adapters to step down to the duct size. I installed mine in the middle of a duct run.

Hmm, maybe there is an issue with your unit. Mine (un-altered) blows really hard. My dog and wife are scared of it!

Ditto. Just fill it with the oil it came with to the proper level, plug it in and it should work. temporarily remove the inlet black plug,, put your finger to plug it up and you should feel it trying to suck in your finger. This lets you know it is working and sucking right. Caution, the body fins may tend to get hot to the touch depends on how long you have it working. Provide adequate ventilation.

Couple of possibilities. 1)check for computer codes. I there I was code that has been computer error attached (I think it is 601) then there Is a fault In computer and the ECM has to be replaced. 2) the heater has its own separate computer an could be sending the wrong signal to the blower or 3) and most likely the resistor has faulted an you have to change the resistor block. This Is cheapest an most likely. Mine has part not col temperature rated so will not work in -40 weather, have to use heating torch to warm up resistor block first.

Follow the procedure on the starting label..... choke on, push priming bulb until it is full of fuel, then pull starter until the engine attempt to fire. Then choke off. The problem from there is that the saw wants a pretty full throttle for the remaining pulls until it starts. I stick my right foot in the throttle/handle area so that it engages the throttle (and holds the saw down securely). I have had no problems starting the unit employing this method.

Thanks for your reply. makes one wonder if the manufacturer ever tries any of these instructions in the use manual....

The smoke generator really stinks. You may have put too much in - turn it over and see if any oil drains out and try again.

It eventually works man. Mine did the exact same. Have a play with the directions and the plugs. Pull it out and make sure all your connections are connected. I know when I pushed mine into place it often disconnected some wires to the air conditioning climate controls. The directions explain how to set it. Good luck!

More than likely there's a pin size hole in the blower (metal plate). This happen on two of mine and they're getting returned today.

like they say: ensure the chain brake is off, close to the handle. Ensure the engine cutoff is pulled all the way out. at least 6 prime pushes. choke all the way out, then 6 pulls. then choke halfway or all the way in, and one pull - boom it runs. I just started mine today after 3 years sitting unused. Put in fresh gas and it started right up, which impressed me a lot.

There is a video on youtube that helped me get mine going. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n-vPOk9kEag

Do you have the little "key" plugged into the mower? You need to insert that into the slot, or it will not start. Also, be sure you first push the button and then pull the handle; it sounds like that's what you did, but just want to make sure.

What you are describing does not happen with my blow dryer.I suggest you get a hold of where you purchased the dryer from and discuss with them.
