My 2 yr. old Poulan Pro BVM200FE blower won't start. It will turn over a few times after 3-4 pulls then nothing.

replace the spark plug, make sure the air filter is clean, make sure it has fresh fuel. if it still wont start. give a shot of carburetor cleaner straight in the carburetor it should start and run for a few seconds. if it does. the carburetor needs to be cleaned. hope this fixes your problem, good luck

I put 2 cycle gas in my 4 cycle Honda gcv190 pressure washer

did you pull the spark plug out and clean it ? if you did , did you also put the starter cord and turn the motor over without the plug installed to get rid of the 2-cycle oil out of the cylinder ? if not do so.

Motor quits when pull trigger

It's the spark plug more than likely. If engine turns but won't stay running its more than likely spark plug. If that doesn't fix its the gas. Empty gas out get some fresh gas.

My craftsman 32cc leaf blower won't stay running

Check age of gas. Cannot be more than 30 days old.
Make sure to use fresh gas w/synthetic 2-cycle oil @ 40:1 ratio (1 gal.) Gas to 3.2 oz. Oil). Do not use old or stale oil/gas mixture. Always use the proper oil/gas mix. If you do not, your engine will suffer rapid, permanent damage.May need to clean or replace carburetor.

Wont stay running. it idles kinda high. stays running with the choke on. pull the trigger 2 giv it gas it dies.

Check the fuel filter, air cleaner, and muffler for plugging. Check the fuel lines for decay or other problems. The idle speed screw (turned CCW) will slow the engine down. Hope this helps!

Engine will fire but wont get gas new gas lines if fires wont stay running when you pull trigger talked to hobby shop and they had me rest screws for gas and air flow now wont start

Check fuel line that goes from exhaust pipe to fuel tank. Make sure there are no leaks. With fuel in the tank remove the line from the exhaust pipe and blow in it. The fuel in the tank should move and bubble.

THIS GAS EDGER HAS A PRIMER BULB. I PUSH IT THE RECOMMENDED TIMES. THE ENGINE STARTS AND RUNS FOR 5 SECONDS AND KILLS. I HAVE PULLED THE GAS TANK AND EMPTIED IT. REINSTALLED AND PUT IN FRESH GAS. I KNOW IT...

The jet in the carburetor is clogged if it is a 4 cycle unit or the diaphragms are stiff if in a 2 cycle unit. It is burning the primed fuel but can not draw any more fuel to burn to stay running.

Gas engine will not start without pulling trigger on wand to relieve pressure-engine dies when letting off trigger

I am afraid that is how they work even electric ones wont start unless you squeeze the trigger ,once they are running you should be ablr to release the trigger , and then squeeze it again whilst running . if yours dies when you release the trgger while motor is running -----good chance you are working at too high pressure. but to start you have to release all the internal pressure

Troy bilt 4 cycle string trimmer wont stay running when given gas it starts fine but once you try to give it gas it dies

If this is an old unit, then the diaphragm is probably hardened.

Tests before hand would be:
1. Is the gas fresh and water free?
2. Is the spark-plug clean and snugly fastened?
3. Are you using the correct gas to oil mix ratio in your fuel?
4. yes...yes...yes...= bad diaphragm. Probably less than $5 for the part and a 1/2 hour to replace the part.

First, check the fuel lines for cracks/breaks.
If they are o.k., then you will need to disassemble the carburetor and spray with carb. cleaner. Make sure the small screen in the carb. is free of debris. Use a Den Tek Brush, (http://www.drugstore.com/products/prod.asp?pid=165357&catid=1152), to clean the small portals in carb. Reassemble and start.

(NOTE: If the cleaning doesn't work, then buy a carb. kit abd replace all appropriate parts.)

If you need further assistance, just let me know.
