My trusty old blower has had a dizzy fit and broken the recoil spring in the starter.......wondering if anyone would have one they'd be willing to sell me. They are discontinued and unavailable. l've since bought a new blower but would love to have this as a backup.
l ordered one from Jacks...
lt fires straight away with ether sprayed down its throat and dies almost immediately. l've cleaned the carby right through, it looked spotless. Drained the tank, fresh fuel & confirmed it is flowing to the carby.

then made up a chute blocker out of 5/8 steel...
Bought a C/Pro 34 for my business; have bought 20x10-10 carlisle turf masters for better performance without damaging lawns ( we get a fair bit of rain and the ground stays damp/soft for a long while). The other thing I need to do is make a chute blocker as I will be mulching 90% of the time - I...
