  If your Makita Blower engine stops soon after starting, it might not be warmed up sufficiently; perform a proper warm-up operation. Check that the choke lever is set to “OPEN” if the engine is already warm. A clogged fuel filter or a contaminated air cleaner can also cause this issue; clean them accordingly. Additionally, ensure the throttle wire is securely attached. For issues related to an abnormal carburetor or drive system, it's recommended to request inspection and maintenance.
