How to troubleshoot a Homelite BACKPACKER II UT08572A Blower when the engine will not start?
- L
  laura05Jul 30, 2025
  If your Homelite Blower engine won't start, there could be a few reasons. First, check for spark. Remove the spark plug, reattach the cap, lay the plug on the metal cylinder, and pull the rope to look for a spark at the plug tip. If there's no spark, try a new spark plug. Another reason could be no fuel. Push the primer bulb until it's full of fuel. If it doesn't fill, the primary fuel delivery system might be blocked, and you should contact a service dealer. Finally, the engine might be flooded. Set the start lever to the START position, squeeze the trigger, and pull the rope repeatedly until the engine starts.

  If your Homelite Blower engine starts, runs, and accelerates but won't idle, the idle speed screw on the carburetor likely needs adjustment. Turn the idle speed screw clockwise to increase the idle speed.

Why does my Homelite Blower engine not reach full speed and emit excessive smoke?
- W
  Wendy AdamsAug 19, 2025
  If your Homelite Blower engine isn't reaching full speed and is emitting excessive smoke, the issue might be due to an incorrect oil/fuel mixture. Ensure you're using fresh fuel and the correct 2-cycle oil mix (50:1). Another potential cause is a dirty air filter, which requires cleaning. Also, a fouled spark plug could be the culprit, so try cleaning or replacing it and resetting the spark plug gap.
