This is my first time here.
I have a bolens leaf blower 2 cycle. It will not start. There is no evidence of fuel getting to the spark plug. I took it apart and all lines seem to be clear. When I push the prime button you can see it bubbling in the gas tank. Don't know if this is correct or not. I do not know how to check the needle valve if there is one to see if it is clogged. I even tried a new spark plug. Before it stopped, it would only run on idle, when I tried to speed it up it started to die. I don't know that much about these things but want to fix it. I am mechanically smart. A new one is $ 99.00, if I can't fix it, I think it would cost more to take it to a repair shop than buy a new one. This one is several years and has never given me one lick of problems. I also took the fuel filter off and cleaned it, and tried it without the filter. No luck. I use stabilizer in my fuel all the time on all my power equipment. A friend told me this was a good idea.
I would appreciate all your help.
Thanks,
Ron,
