I am starting this thread with the intent to localize some info on the fore mentioned equipment. Specifically the fuel line routing and adjustments and types of these tiny mite carbs. I have recently relocated from the PAC NW where fuel line deterioration was not a huge factor. Since coming back to the Heartland, I have in the last few days been infiltrated with equipment with completely rotted, brittle and missing fuel lines. I know there is a lot of knowledge here and folks with web pages or links that have plenty of information. Personally I can discern all the different types of carbs by trial and error, be it Walbro or Zama. It seems from my experience in the last few days however, that there are many types, connections, primer, no primer, choke only, primer and choke etc. Hope to see all participate, for our own reference if nothing else and provide a wealth of info to others as well.

I have had this blower for about 4 years and have only used it handful of times. Recently while using it i heard a loud bang and the blower stalled . I realized there wasnt much oil in it if any at all. I left the engine cool down and put oil it in. The engine doesnt seemed to be seized up but then is no resistance when pulling the starting cable, I did pull it one fairly hard and it made a back firing sound. This blower also has electric start but i did not try using that yet until I heard back from some others. I read about the fly wheel key and other parts but I was not sure I have attached some pictures too
