  If your Echo Blower engine cranks but struggles to start or doesn't start at all, there might be a few reasons. Check if fuel is reaching the carburetor; if not, clean or replace the necessary components. Also, verify if the muffler is wet with fuel, in that case open choke, clean/replace air filter and adjust carburetor. Ensure the switch is in the ON position and that there's a spark. Adjust the spark plug to .65mm (0.026in.), and clean or replace the plug.

What to do if Echo PB-200 - 03-03 engine runs, but dies or does not accelerate properly?

  If your Echo Blower's engine runs but dies or doesn't accelerate properly, several factors could be at play. A dirty air filter, fuel filter, or spark plug can cause these issues; try cleaning or replacing them. A plugged fuel vent or spark arrestor screen could also be the culprit, so clean or replace those as well. Improper carburetor adjustment or a dirty/plugged cooling system might also be the reason. In the first case you should adjust the carburetor, in the second - clean the cooling system.

What to do if Echo Blower runs, but blower doesn't work or is weak/uneven?

  If the engine of your Echo Blower runs, but the blower itself isn't working, is weak, or uneven, check the pipe for clogs and unclog it. Also, examine the pipe to ensure it is tightened and not damaged. If the pipe is loose, tighten it; if damaged, replace it.
