Can't thank you enough. 2015 model. One item of confusion, the gasket, but I just mimicked you and BAM. Most difficult step was getting the fuel line bushing into the tan......old age and arthritis. Started on the second pull and runs like new!

Thanks for this video! I've had my PB-250 sitting for over a year+, not able to get it running, primer not getting any gas, etc...and being lazy/not getting it fixed. Saw this video, picked up a cheap carb kit on Amazon, followed this step-by-step, and boom...fired right up. Save me some cash and headaches. Thank u!

After I changed my carburetor I still had to adjust the fuel to air mixture screw on the carb. Made a huge difference, no more bogging when the throttle is wide open. Thank you, this video was such a major help!

Great video. The grommet is my biggest problem when I do this. It always takes me 15-20 minutes to fight that sob back into place.

I went step by step and still managed to get the run switch backwards. So after i fixed that, put the air filter on and put the gas back in, pushed the bulb about six times and she cracked right up. Best instructive video thanks brother for taking it slow for we mechanically challenged people.

Oh forgot, when i dumped my gas out it had trashy particles in it so i put fresh gas in it before starting

Thank you for the video. The spark plug gap is 0.026 inches (.65 mm.)

hey man your vid is spot on. purchased the carb from amazon, followed your vid which is explained very well. Bitch fired rite up and ran for an hour like a scaled dawg! never vapor locked once like it had been doing. thanks a million! john

Thank you for posting this helped me when i replaced my carb

Thanks going to come back to this video for the same exact carburetor replacement.

Thank you for the video! Blower working for first time in probably 10 years.

thank's for sharing there partner! I purchased the same kit from ebay dirt cheap for my pb251 and it's running like a champ 2 years no prob! just start her up once a week and let her run for a few it will help from having to repeat this process!!!

Just replaced a carb on an Echo SRM 211 trimmer with a similar replacement kit. Looks like my Echo PB 201 blower's pretty much the same deal as what you've got going on here.with your model. Purchased a HIPA kit for the 201 off Amazon. Cool thing is most of these kits (from several different manufacturers) include all the stuff you show here; carb, air filter, line, fuel filters, etc, all of which if purchase individually at your local Home Depot, Ace Hardware of similar retailer would cost WAY more. No, it's not OEM but for the price/performance at least for me, it's an unqualified no-brainier. Thanks to 'Fix It Now' for this very instructive video as well as Google for leading me hear, KZread and last but not least, Amazon (you're welcome, Amazon)

Thanks for the vid! Friend gave me this blower that their previous house owner left behind. It ran on full choke, but that's it. Who knows what the technically-exact problem was (I think it was the actual throttle on the carb), but for a $25 carb kit to replace everything it saved more than that in time spent adjusting high or low speeds, testing for leaks in the fuel or vent lines, etc. Much appreciated.

Nice work. Thanks for taking the time to do this.

Very informative! Kudos with the camera view!

Great help. Just replaced carb on PB 250LN. You info was dead on !! Adjusted mix after install and it runs better than new !! Used Hipa kit off Amazon !!

Video was very helpful. Just did mine with same parts you did. Cranked right up on first pull. Thanks again 👍

Fixed my pb 250 ASAP. Thanks my friend

Great video. Unfortunately my blower is still turning off when it gets hot and I have to wait an hour so before it turns back on but I was able to change the carb out just fine.

great video changed mine today. biggest issue getting lines back into gas tank, I put a little liquid soap around fitting seemed to help. but still will not crank like it's not getting any spark?? any suggestions beside going to dealer?

You explained everything awesome and to the point.....easy to understand....what a teacher!!!!!! Thank you Sr😁😁👍🙏

Nice video. Thanks for helping out.

Thanks Bud great video and this video will help me replace my carb on my blower.

Thanks for the video. Very clear and well done. I did the replacement and it started once. I was unable to get it started again. It was leaking some fuel some fuel off the front by the exhaust before the repair and some after the repair. Any ideas, or is it time to buy a new one? I did have it at a shop and they said it was the carb so I bought the kit and replaced it. Thanks for any feedback.

Good video, I just ordered one of those carbs for a friends blower he wants me to fix, hope you had good luck with yours after the new carb install. I messed with the old carb for about an hour and at least it runs now but sure not right. Watched your video and said what the heck 15 bucks it is worth a try. Thank you for posting.

Thanks for this. I followed along. And changed mine with you. Awesome!! 😊

Look between the four carb screws on side of engine. There is a plastic grommet that you need to remove to get at the adjustment screw. Use a screw or a punch to remove plastic grommet. Start engine and use a very small screw driver turn it to the left until it stops bogging. No carb needed.

People keep buying carbs needlessly when all they have to do is uncover the 2 adjustment screws. Not only that but replacing them with junk Chinese carbs that hardly work. All 2 cycles need carb adjustments as they age.

Thanks for your video. Question. Spark plug still look good. But if I turn it off and try starting it up a few minutes later It won't start. Must let sit for a while. Than it starts. Any ideas for this fixes.

I replaced the carb in mine and it starts, runs for about 30 seconds, then stalls. I haven't touched any of the adjustment screws on the carb. What do you suggest?

Thanks for the video boss. Very helpful

Dude is that that rac90 u talking about. Man if it is it works great.

I have the same blower and it bogs down. I cleaned the acuator and it still bogs down. I purchased the same carb on amazon and have yet to install it. Once you installed the new carb did you have any problems with the blower???

Thaks excellent video.

Does the length of the clear yellow or the other black line matter. I cut the lines on the new carb to match what yours looked like and the original carb here but now it does not want to start unless i make sure the clear yellow is full of fuel?

Turned out to be an easy fix with this video...........thanks

Mines a goner changed the carb Spark plug Cleaned the resister Finally did a compression test it’s at 25 psi Next time is re ringing the piston found it on Amazon for $16 Total investment so far 16 for piston ring $20 for carb and lines kit , way better than paying $200 for a new one . Oh p.s the vacuum screw that allows it to open it it’s not completely engaged it won’t start so make sure the tab if fully closed .

Tip to keep your fuel lines from rotting and carb working dont leve ful in the tank especially if it has ethanol in it also run your carb and lines dry.

I replaced my carb with this exact kit, checked the spark arrestor, new fresh fuel, and still can’t get it to run right. Any ideas? I played with the set screw in every position but could not get it to rev up fully, smoothly, or not bog. Hell I even checked my compression and it’s good. Any ideas?? I did check the air filter and there’s gas on it now… idk what’s going on.

Super video thanks

Thanks for the video. I overlooked the obvious. Mine just didn't want any choke or throttle. I was flooding it to death. You see all these guys using the primer and choke. Mine didn't need it or want it. I used neither, and it started right up idling perfectly, so ???????????? All I did was clean the NGK plug, and turn up the idle 3/4 turn.

Your fuel tank grommet was brand new, so I would lubricate it with a bit of oil and it will pop in easier next time

Great stuff big man 🇺🇸 🍂📈

You're awesome. Thanks so much

Wow. Thank you so much.

Did not see you drop the fuel filter line in the tank.Did I miss something?

What about the primer hose

you got my like ! gracias

Great video. How is it running before? Mine is bogging down I have to manipulate the choke Do you think a new carburetor would help?

That was a pretty good presentation. A view people have asked some questions. Do yo you review comments?

Thanks 😊

I changed my carb with an oem echo carb. Runs great at idle and also wide open as long as the blower is sitting level. As soon as I tilt it downward ( in a using position ) it kills. I can’t figure why? Any advise is appreciated. TIA
