If misery loves company, was out cleaning up around the mailbox clearing 2ft down a slight incline Blower Stalls with 1/2 Tank of Gas in it.. Level Ground set throttle Pull Cord it Fread & Snapped about 6 / 8" from the handle, Beauty.. Drag Blower back to the Shed plug in the Electric Starter , primed & set the choke.. Rolls over as it should , doesn't seem to be getting any gas nor do I smell any.. Thoughts & Ideas Appreciated, Cheers Thanks
