I've tuned many chainsaws but no blowers. I know it is a little different. What am I listening for while tuning?
Thanks!

Max rpms

Oh, make sure all pipes are connected also so it will have the correct load on the motor.

Forgot to tell ya, when you hit max rpm, turn in hi speed just a bit before it starts getting rich, that way you know it's not lean.

Awesome.
I will give it a try tonight now that my cracked fuel tank is repaired

I'd aim for manufacturers spec'd rpm's. Start rich and lean it out till you get where it's supposed to be, going for max rpm's might be too lean.
Unfortunately I don't have a tach. I'll probably end up a little on the rich side. A little bit safer than sorry. Not that I have anything in this blower, but why waste it?
Thanks for the replies!

Where do you set the idle?
How did you fix a cracked fuel tank?
I used a soldering iron to melt the plastic then put some epoxy on top of it.
Pics? And no pin hole leaks? What kind of Epoxy? JB?
i haven't tried it yet, but it wasn't that hard. I can't remember what kind of epoxy. It wasn't JB though. Just some kind of universal epoxy. I only put it on it for extra strength. crack was on top of the tank.
What brand and model?

This one is just a cheap Ryobi. I gotta start somewhere. lol
I have an Echo and Stihl I might repair if this one goes well.

I wondering if any of the small handheld blowers are any good? i always seem to have trouble with the carbs!
I put fuel through the carb and this one fired right up, so I thought it would be an easy fix. I didn't know about the cracked tank. I also had to rig the choke/air filter housing because it was missing. I just stole one of of a different model blower that fit close enough. I just need a simple blower, but am too cheap to buy a new one. Not when I can fix one for next to nothing.
See now?
No. Unfortunately my honey-do list has kept me out of my workshop all week. Hopefully Saturday I can try it out.
Love my shop!
I love mine too. It is where I can "get away" and plus I understand things in there.
