I appreciate the kind words. Good luck with your new purchase.

If it’s 10 years old you’re doing great, no need to worry. Keep up the maintenance!

You must no use it daily almost all day

Thanks for watching.

I prefer the felt ones. Good idea on a video, I usually use STIHL fuel line.

Find a Stihl dealer and try a BR200 or BR450. Also a Redmax EBZ5150 is an option.

Mine is doing the same thing... did you figure out what was wrong with yours?

Start with the basics, good fuel, make sure the fuel line and filter are ok, make sure the exhaust port is clean. Are you adjusting the “H” or high side of the carb at full throttle?

Sounds like it could be a coil issue.

Blower doesn’t want to accelerate and bogs down but once i pull plug and clean in between it it works just fine

Could be the carb or simple adjustment. Make sure you have good fuel. Pull the muffler off and inspect the exhaust port for carbon.

@@wallysworkin823 Thank you I finally figured out the problem the new carb I installed was defective and it was a brand new carb but it happens once in a while you will receive a defective carb.

Hello, I’m having the same issue. Did you fix this problem? Or just replace the starter assembly?

My issue ended up being that my friend had attempted to fix his blower but put the starter assembly on crooked and it destroyed the plastic part inside. If your plastic pawls are in good shape you should be good to just replace the starter assembly. Just make sure everything goes back together correctly and the screws tighten down evenly.

Echo kill switches are terrible. You can try cleaning the switch with carb cleaner or brake parts cleaner. In rare cases the kill switch post on the coil itself will fail requiring a coil replacement.

@@wallysworkin823 Thank you for the reply! I ended up replacing the coil and works as it should.

Check the coil

I don’t like the carbs, I rarely see issues with the factory walbro. Rebuilding them will usually take care of any issues (walbro K23-WYK kit). I don’t have any experience with the top end kits for the 770’s. The ones I’ve seen for other units didn’t seem to last long or run properly. If I remember correctly the Echo piston kit is only $38 and the cylinder is $60 I believe, can’t remember exactly.

@@wallysworkin823 Thank you very much for your timely reply. I live in Tucson and use both of my blowers for Archeological work. I started using a compressor to blow off features and to find them. Then the blower was invented and I've been using it ever since. One thing to pass along. The blue foam air filters I have found leaking at the folded/pleaded ends of the filter paper. Candeling them using the sun, you might see tiny to large gaps of sunlight shining through. I doubt they do this during quality control. Not sealed well. l use silicone on those ends.

@@danarnit7839 Are you using Echo air filters or aftermarket? I’ve seen several issues with aftermarket.

I think they might be aftermarket. I will buy Echo. Thanks

Always check the basics first, air filter, fuel filter and exhaust. If it suddenly dies (like turning it off with the kill switch) when it gets warm it’s a possible coil issue. If it slowly loses power then it’s usually a fuel issue. It could be a simple carb adjustment but check the basics first. Check your fuel line as well to make sure it’s not leaking or has cracks.

@@wallysworkin823 thanks for your reply. I’ve done all the basics. The machine has maybe 20hrs total. It bogs down quick and dies. Restarts easy, idles great. Everything looks brand new. Leaning toward faulty coil.

@@patmk A coil will not cause a bog issue. Do you use it for home use? Has the unit been sitting? It only takes a few weeks of non use to make the diaphragm in the carb stiff causing the problem you have.

Sounds like Carburator problem

See if it does it with the gas cap loose enough to vent.

Start with the basics. Did you verify the compression with a gauge or just feel? I ask this because an engine may "feel" like it has compression but if it's not high enough it will be hard to start or won't start at all. Did you verify it has spark? A simple way is to remove the plug from the head insert it into the coil wire, ground the plug to the head and pull the starter while watching the plug for spark.

@@wallysworkin823 I have a compression gauge which I will check I only checked it by Buy fill and the spark I checked with a light that you buy from harbor freight to check this part and I tried spraying a gas mixture into the carburetor to see if it would fire Thank you very much for the reply really appreciate it and I will try the compression test and see what happens there Could you tell me what it's supposed to test at.

I just tried the compression test using a gauge and it showed 75 if my gauge is right so it might not be no good I'm not for sure

@@dorrellmyles9995 75 is low, they usually run in the 125 range.

@@wallysworkin823 could it be the Pistons or rings causing that

Everything that comes in looks like this or worse. They run 7 days a week in most cases. Guy’s are hard on equipment out here.

Nope
