Re: My Homelite mightylite blower vac starts but won't...
The unit is under warranty. The person you talked to must be new. Find a warranty service center in your area. Take your receipt with you and they should be able to take care of it for you. Good Day

I was working on a neighbor's homelite chainsaw and I replaced the primer bulb, it was not intuitive, and I hooked up the lines backwards. Also if you are replacing the primer bulb, maybe you have old fuel lines that are deteriorating and need replaced. Did you check the in tank fuel filter? If it looks dark, it may be time to change it.
yes, i have one myself. you must adjust the carb. there should be two screws to adjust the gas and air flow. try adjusting them to the right, both of thlem
Your carb high and low settings may need tweaking if it's not a fuel or muffler issue. I believe needles are made only to be adjusted by a technician. If you want to try adjusting it yourself, google and you tube your to see how.
i would start at the muffler & pull it off ,,ck out the exhaust port where u just took the muffler off,,see if it is loaded up with carbon,,need to clean it out,,i find then in the trash,,& take them apart,,and most of the time its just that,,because u are using a gas & oil mix,,try it ,, hoped it helped,,
If you have'nt yet you should put a kit in the carborater,if that does'nt fix it{should} then you may have a plugged muffler,.if you can't get rid of exhaust you can't be reved up.
1. check fuel filter in gas tank (for clogged condition).
2. Check carb jet for dirt (squirt carb cleaner in jet and fuel inlet
Summary: your carb is not getting enough fuel to mix properly with constant air flow. Therefore, fuel supply needs to be cleaned... then you will run happy!!
