Unfortunately, probably playin with it now. Limited time that I have chasing around 3 kids n working overtime. I would really like to learn about small engines since they’re gonna be a thing forever

So it still didn’t start. Fuel seems to be leaking from somewhere though, and it really pools up when I try to get it started. I double checked the fuel lines and those are good. I kinda want to just start taking everything else apart to clean it up and see if I can find any obvious cracks or...

Ok thx, I’ll try that tomorrow and let you know

Thanks anyway dude

Ok, thanks, so it’s not starting. So a couple questions: where’s the carb throat ( I’m assuming that’s the hole the air passes through), and how do I warm the plug? Fuel is definitely getting to the plug if I haven’t mentioned that already.

@bertsmobile1 @StarTech So I’ve replaced the ignition coil and I have spark but it’s still not turning over

Wow, really?! I need to do the last few things I tried all over again. All I have are cordless drills.

Just making sure, the kill wire is the black one that slips on and off easily right?

from my YouTube searches it looks like the ignition coil needs to be replaced. The gap is still tight between the coil and flywheel, about the width of a business card. I still don’t get a spark after interrupting the circuit so it’s not a wiring thing (I don’t think). A new part is ~$25 so I’m...

No spark, I’m 90% sure I’m checking it right. Pulled it out, plugged it pack into the boot, held it against the engine to ground it and spun it up with my drill.

Check the spark plug both for a spark and what it looks like The spark plug WAS wet, about to check YouTube to see how to check for spark

Thanks, I can try that today and let y’all know. Quick question, what’s a good starting point for the carb adjusting screws. I’ve fiddles with them so much I have no idea where they should be at. I have them a full turn counterclockwise from all the way tight. Should I open them up a bit more to...

Thanks, I didn’t realize that would make a difference

First, thanks for the quick reply I have not checked the exhaust but will do that next. What is “oem”?

Hi, this is my first post, please be gentle. TL;DR- leaf blower (ryobi bp42) bogging down and now won’t start at all. I’ve checked the air and fuel filters, fuel lines and replaced the spark plug. I want to learn how to fix small engines, help please. I purchased a used leaf blower a few...
