Greetings, the forum looks great, I am on several others for automotive and this one just looks nicer… a little more user welcoming?
To cut to the chase, I have a BR 450 electric start, it is indeed a great blower, it even moves rocks, "pulls" weeds and flattens a three year old pile of composting grass!!… but it has been back to the dealer two, now three times for the e-start not working.
Recoil works fine, there is not an overall operation issue… just the e-start. It is sporadic… sometimes does, sometimes not. There are no symptoms other than it just doesn’t work.
I purchased it because I get interrupted a lot [town home association and local cemetery] where I use it and the time savings in the convenience outweighs the additional heft. After about 8 hours [not cumulative] of run time out of the box [dealer set up] it either starts or just sets there…. No noise, no click, hum, buzz…. no pieces of symptom to research. The dealer states a loose ground…. Ok I can see that… but three times? I am thinking switch contact, starter capacitor [I guess that's the "battery"?] ...or logic board… any suggestions?
