While we are talking about leaf blowers. I fired mine up today and I have to hold the choke the whole time to keep it running. What the hell is wrong with it. It's a craftsman

Clean the carb. Very simple to do.

FI leafblower would be sweet. Until then try blasting the crap out of it with carb spray through the inlet at half choke (running) sometimes that works. Its running lean, you have a gunked up idle circuit or a vacuum leak. 90% of the time on these tiny carbs, just gunk.


Yes the music for the video is ridiculously good.

At WOT it would be fine but how about tempering it during acceleration and stopping. There used to be single stage electric blowers that you just wired up for WOT.

Probably terrible. Single stage electric blower makes some sense at WOT but what do that make; 1-2 lbs of boost?

You could use one of those accordion style fire stokers and pipe it into the intake. It would be hard to steer, shift and stoke the fire all at the same time though.
