I seems you have answered your own question: combustion chamber flooding...so the during exhaust stroke fuel remains in the chamber, or is being sucked in from the tank. Fuel pump diaphragm is the most likely suspect part; and is a routine wear out and replacement part. After replacing, be sure to maintain according to mfr recommendation for storage (generally it's to flush tank with un-oiled fuel before storing) to avoid early wear out of fuel pumps diaphragm.

SOURCE: craftsman leaf blower wont start

The air gap for the ignition coil core to flywheel is adjustable on some engines and the gap does vary.
On a Stihl, I used a matchbook cover first, then doubled it and got the engine to start. That amounts to 8-10/1000ths (0.008-0.010") as measured with a digital caliper after-the-fact.
I'm troubleshooting another engine currently from a McCulloch Airstream IV that only has ~12 hours and no spark but the coil measures roughly as it should; around 1K Ohms. Was surprised to find the company went bankrupt in '99. Another one killed by Asians and fairly poor design.

SOURCE: What's your problem? took the spark plug out, cleaned it then replaced it and still wouldn't start...getting plenty of fuel to the carb.. I thought it was flooded.. but still won't start a

if you have no spark and the kill switch wires are not shorted out then the coil is bad

I have the featherlite weed wacker the prime button won't come up when i push it down' won't start

For the bulb to come back up it needs to easily pull fuel from the carb, if the filter in the tank is blocked, or there is dirt in the carb the bulb will not come back up, replace the filter in the tank, if no better you need to clean the internall filter in the carb.

My weedeater 150 mph starts hard and barely runs at full throttle. I put in new gas, plug, and clean air filter. Please help. John

One cause of such a symptom could be an obstructed exhaust. Make sure the outlet of the muffler is not obstructed (ex. dirt dobber nest), also check the exhaust port by removing the muffler.

Is getting air in gas line, will not start

If the hoses are connected right and they are in good condition, it could be bad gas,sparkplug or carburetor needs cleaned and/or a rebuild kit. Check the link below for parts:

Wont start not fuel new spark plug

Do you have spark? if no spark SOL is your gas line good, did you rebuild carb, pretty vague question for someone asking for help. Your question sounds a little like you know everything already but try what I sugested and you might get somewhere. Gas and spark is the key to keep these things running its not rocket science. Good Luck PAL

Gas blower won't start

Fuel starvation - 'lean fuel' condition
Basic things to check:
1) spark plug
2) spark arrestor in muffler
3) fuel lines and tank filter
4) turn adjustment needles out (counterclockwise) 1/4 to 1/2 turn
*if all of the above are OK and/or do not improve performance then:
Remove Carburetor
5) replace gaskets/diaphragms
b) use a spray carb cleaner to clean jets, holes, and body of carb

New fuel lines, wont stay run, swapt in/out line, wont stay run

Sometimes simply removing the carb and placing it in a carb dip will clean it without tearing it apart, also check or replace the spark plug. Make sure you have compression, good spark, and that fuel is getting to the carb. If that doesnt work, email me and I'll find you a diagram. [email protected]

Blower wont run at full throttle

Start with the spark plug it is the easiest.

But sounds like the carbourator is dirty, Probably fouled with old gas varnish. When it is idling give it a little throttle, flip the choke on and then full throttle. If it goes full throttle and doesn't conk out, it is a fuel issue.

Good Luck
