Manual for weedeater leaf blower model SB180BV

Most weed eater products are two cycle. if you have to mix oil with the gas they are two cycle. If there is no place to add the oil like a four cycle then its two cycle. Do not run a two cycle engine without adding oil to the gas or you will burn it out fast

Not an easy job to get to on this Weedeater made blower; have plenty of work space and a very good memory. It requires removing blower end which you will end up disassembling the whole casing.
When re-assembling don't over torque the fan mounting nut as it will cause the flywheel to bind.

Here is a link to the parts diagram at Sears Direct.

Oil leaking.? The only oil that would be in the machine would be the 2 stroke mixed in the fuel.. I dont understand where 'oil' would be leaking from. (more info please)

Also your question refers to an 'older homelite weedeater' yet its titled 'Problem with Stihl BR400 Backpack Leaf Blower' Which one is it.?

ignition coil,or blown head gasket...

Are you sure the brand is LeafEater?

I would suggest using a good brand of synthetic 2 cycle oil at a ratio of 40:1 and you would be fine.

If you happen to have one of the green units by WeedEater, check their website for a manual. You will need to know the model, tho.
