Folks,
I've got a handheld homelite leaf blower from HD, and I've had it for a number of years. It works OK.
I've just noticd that it runs MUCH better and slightly faster on about 1/2 choke than on wide open, and until it gets really warmed up, it seems it will NOT run at wide open (it slows down and stalls).
This seems not right to me, and my assumption is that being a n00b, I've done something wrong like forgotten to take to off 1/2 choke when I was running and fouled something up.
So one of you small engine experts please advise me. Have I really messed something up, is there a way to fix this, or is it no big deal, keep on keeping on?
Thanks in advance.
David
