    Mine was bogged down, and I thought it was the hi/low settings and then I thought it was the oil mixture, etc. until I saw your video, I bought my backpack blower for residential use and I’ve had it at least 25 years so you could imagine how bad the carbon buildup was thank you.

    Well I have never subscribed , thumbs up, liked. But This video prompted me to do so. I was going to take this to my Stihl repair shop. I first checked my spark plug and then went to this video. I am always a bit skeptical but this cleaning of the carbon off with.the blow torch worked without a problem. It doubled my blower power and now runs fantastic. I've had my blower for about 8 years and NEVER Cleaned this or even knew it was there. Thank You Stoney Creek for the tip !

      Thanks DrLaserEye1! I’m glad it works better for you. I know for me. It’s the only thing I need to do to fix my blower. It gets fairly light home use, but I find myself having to clean it every few weeks with my heavy use. You may have something else going on but either way, I’m glad I could help. Spring has sprung and I’m happy to start cleaning up the outside! Thanks again for your support.

      Thanks for coming by and checking this out Steve! Yea it fixes mine every time. As for a part number, I don’t have one. I remember when I went in there they had like 3 different types depending on the model so yea if you go in or call a store that sells replacement parts, just make sure you know your model number. When I first went in there I blanked when the guy asked which I had, so I had to go back to the house and take a looksie! Thanks again Steve!!
