Hi, I was using my Poulan BVM200VS leaf blower just fine last week, then I turned it off to take a 5 min break. I went to start it back up and now it's not starting, or even trying to start. I did the following with no luck:
- Ensure the air filter was clean (tried to start with and without the filter)
- Cleaned the carburetor. The cab is good because the bulb is filling and I see a bit of gas on the plug when I try to start it.
- Tried starting with starter fluid.
- Bought a new plug and set to the correct gap.
- Checked for spark by removing the plug and bonding it to the chassis.
- Removed the plug and let the engine dry out over many days.
- Spark arrestor is clear.
- Engine is sealed with all bolts. Lots of compression when I put my finger over the spark plug hole
- Switch is OK because I get spark, assuming the Hold switch causes no spark
- Poured a little 10W-30 down the spark plug hole.
