This blower was hardly used and sat most of the time in the garage. I obtained it when it wouldn't start for the owner and he didn't want to mess with it. I replaced the fuel line, which had disintegrated over time. I also broke down and cleaned the carburetor while apart, but wasn't really even necessary, it was pristine as was the fuel filter. Easy to start, works like new. Variable speed trigger action. Call Sheldon @ 236-464-5990
