  If your Echo Blower engine runs but dies or doesn't accelerate properly, several factors could be the cause:* A dirty air filter can restrict airflow. You should clean or replace it.* A dirty fuel filter could be preventing adequate fuel flow. Replace the fuel filter.* A plugged fuel vent might be disrupting the fuel supply. Try cleaning or replacing it.* A dirty or worn plug may cause issues. Clean and adjust, or replace the plug.* Improper carburetor adjustment. Adjust the carburetor.* A dirty or plugged cooling system can cause the engine to overheat and stall. Clean the cooling system.* A plugged spark arrestor screen can also affect engine performance. Replace the spark arrestor screen.
