Why my Echo PB-500H starts hard?

If your Echo Blower engine runs but dies or doesn't accelerate properly, consider these potential issues: * A dirty air filter could be the cause; try cleaning or replacing it. * The fuel filter might be dirty, requiring replacement. * A plugged fuel vent could also be the culprit; clean or replace it. * Additionally, a dirty or worn spark plug may need cleaning, adjustment, or replacement. * Improper carburetor adjustment can also cause this issue, so adjust accordingly. * Check if the cooling system is dirty or plugged and clean it. * Finally, a plugged spark arrestor screen should be replaced.
