I am new here and I have an echo PB265L blower and it has ran great for 2 years. Now it will not stay running except with choke in cold start position. If I move the choke to run it shuts off like it is out of fuel. I have replaced the fuel vent, fuel filter and rebuilt the carb. cleaned one screen which is all I saw. plug is new and set properly.removed spark arrester, cleaned and reinstalled.(was not plugged)After all the work it still does exactly what it did before I started. Any ideas what I should check next. Thanks for any suggestions.

Are you using Echo 2-cycle oil & high test gas? The reason I asked is that I have 2 Echo blowers & always use Echo 2-cycle oil & 93 octane gas with no problems. I use 93 octane in all outdoor power equipment.

How did you clean the carb when you rebuilt it? Ultrasonicly, dip tank or just spray with carb cleaner. Passageways in those carbs are so small, I say that instead of having passageways they now have hairline cracks, just spraying them will not help much. If you don't have access to an ultrasonic cleaner or dip tank, I recommend replacing the carb, some of them are very cheap. Also, did you check the fuel line for cracks or pinholes?
