That’s a nice vintage gas blower by the way, I’m surprised it’s still started after all these years. Seems like the old equipment was a lot easier compared to the new equipment. The thing is I work at the outdoor power equipment dealer at the repair shop area and I noticed that equipment is so much of a pain to repair. These McCulloch leaf blowers, as well as the air streams, were definitely the best leaf blowers back in the good old days. In fact they were pretty decent blowers in the 90s, and in the 80s. One of the common reasons why that blower wouldn’t run right is the ethanol content in the gas that can ruin the carburetor. In fact, I have the same brand except its Super airstream 4 version of the blower and I use trufuel 40:1 premix, that way the ethanol content doesn’t eat up the engine. The dirt that’s on the gas tank is ethanol from the gas.
