Echo pb 500t. Starts and idles OK. When I advance throttle, why does it die?

Hi Alex:
Odds are pretty good that the screen in the muffler is plugged with carbon. The back pressure will stop it from running.
My suggestion?
Remove the muffler. Clean all the bits in solvent and air blow dry.
Re-assemble and
Ta Da!
Cheers

Echo PB 251 won't run. replaced plug, gas, fuel filter, air filter. took carb a part, and cleaned with carb cleaner, used the compressed cleaner to clean out venturis/ports.

Wow! with all you have done it should run. Be sure the switch is on but if you are getting spark, it should be on. I would take it to the echo place for service.

No power with Echo PB-755st Leaf blower

Try pulling the air filter off and see if it picks up. Also a minor carb adjustment may help. Also make sure your fuel isnt old or watered up. See if you can find alcohol free gas in your area. It may cost a bit more but it saves on repairs!

My Echo PB-251 will not start.

I know you checked the plug, but it can fire outside the cylinder and then not fire under compression.
If you have compression, fuel, and spark at the right time you should get combustion.

I have an Echo PB-500T blower that won't throttle up. I bought this blower new about 3 months ago. Before this blower I had an exact same blower that gave me the same problem. I returned that blower...

Remove the in tank fuel filter and take it apart, the felt Echo uses on the filter clogs quickly. There is still a mesh screen filter in the assembly so make sure you put it all back together and reinstall the fuel filter into the tank.

My Echo Leaf Blower (PB-251) will not run at high speed. It is running to rich. Help please. Charlie

I've been fighting with an Echo PB-251 blower and an Echo SRM-225 string trimmer since near the end of last lawn season (this is the forth season I've had them). Along comes a thread on a firearms forum and lo and behold the answer to the problem is spelled out in terms even I can understand.

After reading that thread (which attributes the problem of the engine bogging down when throttle is activated to collapsing fuel lines) I was going to just replace the fuel lines, but I discovered that there are kits that include new fuel lines, rubber grommets, filters, clips and cap seals for about $13.00 each. Hell, the kit for the SRM-225 even provided a new primer bulb. Ten minutes after the UPS truck delivered them to my door I had both machines running like new again. If you've tried other things and it still hasn't worked I highly suggest you try this.

I have a Echo PB-260L Blower. It starts fine then gradually loses power sometimes completely shutting off. I have replaced the fuel filter spark plug air filter and have cleaned the screen.

Check the exhaust port upstream from the muffler and make sure it is not restricted with carbon. Mine was less than half way covered over with carbon. Scraped out carbon, checked muffler and screen(ok), back-blow the fuel line harness including the fuel filter and fuel tank vent and took carb apart and blew out all passages, not replacing anything and now runs fine. Would not rev past high idle before. Be sure gas is FRESH and mixed at 40-50 to 1. Hope this helps.

I did clean the plug and I'm getting spark with the plug out. I used a tester to see if I was getting spark and it's reading positive. However, there have been multiple times that the plug has been out and no spark has occurred with the switch on. I have to mess with it before I get any spark.

The choke is open, not closed. I seem to get more firing with the choke half open. Do I need to try a resistor plug? Maybe something with a little more kick?

It was running perfectly until I stopped it to put the air filter on. Once I stopped it and put the filter on, I couldn't get it to start again.

My fuel mixture is 50:1, all echo product and 87 octane. I'm not sure it's a fuel issue. I haven't changed anything since it was running earlier today. I replaced the fuel lines and filter last week. All of that product is new

is the coil wire grounding out before it gets to the plug , the inslulation can be cracked and grounding out under the cover ,
