Why won't my RedMax EBZ8560 Blower start even though there's spark?

If your RedMax Blower isn't starting despite having a spark, it could be due to several reasons. There might be too much fuel in the engine; in this case, drain the fuel and adjust or replace the carburetor. The air filters could be dirty, requiring you to clean the foam air filter and replace the paper air filter. The fuel type might be incorrect or not mixed properly, so replace it with the correct type and mixture. Other potential causes include a loose spark plug (tighten it), worn or damaged cylinder/piston rings (replace them), a leakage between the cylinder and crankcase (replace the cylinder base gasket), a carburetor needing adjustment, dirt in the carburetor or fuel line (clean them), a dirty fuel filter (clean or replace it), or a crankcase leakage (replace the seal ring).
