    Blower stopped running?
    Last night, I filled my blower with a gas oil mixture that was supposed to be 40:1. As I was using it I noticed it was losing some power and then finally it quit. After thinking about it and looking at my gas oil mixture, I believe I did not have enough oil in the mixture. Did I damage my blower to the point where I will have to take it in or is there a simple fix that I can do to make it work?

    Thanks,
    Carter

    Hi,
    You may have or not. Easiest way to see is to take off the muffler to check that side of the piston for damage since it is the hottest.
    Peace,
