Thanks for the tip. I replaced the carb and sparkplug is it made no difference. When I took mine apart as you suggested, but I found the bolts were still tight on my adapter manifold. So I decided to pull it off to look behind it. It turns out there is a gasket between the cylinder port and the metal heat shield. Although, more than half of that gasket was missing on mine. It may have vibrated out, or gotten sucked in. But I found no trace of the missing gasket material. I cut a new one out of fel-pro gasket material, and bolted everything back together. It started right up after the initial start up sequence. Thank you so much. Your fix pointed me in the right direction. And I hope my feedback may help others than land here too.

I was a few steps from sending this blower into the trash. I did some research and heard all the stories and suggestions about fuel lines, filters and head gaskets. I then came across your video and you seemed more logical at your approach. I followed your steps, FINALLY this blower starts and runs!!! to be honest, I don't think it has ever started this quickly. I soooooooo thank you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Heroic! Most helpful video on KZread for me in 2023!! Fixed it!

I wish I saw this video a few years ago. I have had this same blower for 4 years, and have had issues starting it from day 1. It usually starts but it is a 30 minute game! I followed your steps today and it started up immediately in the 30 degree weather. The blower then ran great, it felt brand new! Great video!

I thought I (120 lb female) just wasn’t strong enough to start the blower, but I wouldn’t give up, it was a new blower.. I followed your instructions, that piece was tight to begin with, I hopelessly tightened it a tiny bit more anyway. The blower started on the first attempt! Thank you so much! How on earth did you figure it out?! Genius!

Great video, I was about to take apart and clean my carburetor and then I saw this video. Worked like a charm. Thanks so much.

Thank you. , followed your instructions , replayed the video a second time . Working like magic, save me from going out and buying another one.❤

Thank you sooo much!!! Saved me a trip to the small engine repair shop and definitely saved me some cash!! 👍🏻👍🏻

thanks for this, resolved my issue, also found the gasket between the black connector and the heat shield was broken, I looked for a replacement gasket locally, online as well to no avail, went to an auto parts store and picked up gasket material, 1/64 inch thick and made one to fit, issue resolved.

freaking genius...I thought we were heading to the repair shop, watched the video and started right up

I'm going to try this tomorrow. I've had mine for about 3-4 years. Love it.

You hit the nail right on top of the head this video was very helpful solve my problem within five minutes thank you so much

Took me longer to find the touqe screwdriver than fix the blower. Was gonna throw it in the trash. Thanks a ton. Perfect fix

You just saved me a lot of time and money in five minutes! Can't thank you enough.

Thank you SO MUCH for this video. This is exactly what the problem was and I would never have been able to figure that out on my own. Thanks for posting this.

Thank you I've been fighting with it for weeks even bought a new carb but it still wouldn't start. I just tried every step and it started with no problem after the second pull. I didn't even get to 6 it was ready to go.

Exactly what the problem was. Thanks for the video. I’m back up and running!

Mine will start when it's cold....if you have to shut it off and its hot, there's no way it's going to start.....same thing if you run out of fuel.....not a chance it's starting

Thank you ! Have the same one, giving us problems. Will have by helper do this to u ours.

Wow!!! this fixed it! Thought I would have to buy a new carb! thanks

The description says it is for a PR48BT, but the video is showing the PR46BT. The 48 doesn't have the separate part that the 46 has.

Excellent video! Thank you!

I just saw the video,, im going to try this,,thank you

Thanks man! I hope this helps!

Great advice, thanks. How about lock tight on the inner bolts? You think will keep things tight? Thanks again. Donny

Ever had one not hit, even with spray? Good compression and spark, premium fuel, won't even hit on spray. Intake is tight. Thanks.

I snapped the metal thingy inside the pulley box. Don't know what it's called. Would like to find a part to replace it

Thanks for watching! It's possible, but not sure you want to in the event you need to make an adjustment later. If you did, I certainly wouldn't use anything above Loctite 222. Let me know your thoughts.

So are the two little bolts allen heads or torques bolts? There’s a difference sir.

Same issue, same solution. Thank you so much.

Are they all right hand ? I have an elbow issue in my right arm.

Do you clean this air filter or replace it?

What if this wasn't the problem? 2-year-old machine. I checked, and everything was snug. Still no start.

Hello everyone. Great video. Does anyone know the part number for the fuel tank assembly? Mine just went on me and there are little hairline cracks in the tank where it bolts down to the base and so it leaks gas.

Should have watched this before I tried to fix it myself. I emptied the old gas, a little inch metal do hickey fell out with the gas. What is this do hickey in side the gas tank, and how do I get it back into place? Thanks,

I came across this issue once. Fixed this issue. Some months later it won’t start again but it’s something different. When you prime should you be able to see fuel going into the throttle body? I’ve got mine unbolted but still connected to the gas lines

Do you have a video troubleshoot my poulan pro pr 46bt back pack blower the spark plug is not sparkling I think it's the off and on switch how do I troubleshoot this do you know where you can find assemble and take a part picture step by step

That's a T25 driver and use thread locker on the screw's for the boot because of excessive vibration

Thanks you awsom. 🎉

Mine will crank, but won’t stay running - continually stalls out

What can I do about Polan Pro not starting when hot for at least two hours

How to change ingine coil

Mine was snug as a bug. On to the next video

Mine has no spark for some reason

I have an actual 48. Tried everything and no go. Any ideas?? Please. My unit Looks brand new. Owner sold it because he was moving and I happened to be buying his lawn mower and weed eater and asked about it before he could load it. Started right up at his house without problem and ran for a minute then I turned it off. It also started and ran for about 20 secs when I got home then turned off and won’t start for 2 weeks now. I emptied fuel and put it down for a bit then tried again again today. Tried this fix in video and no problems were found so Flushed fuel lines and put back together. Air filter looks brand new. New nonethanol 50:1 mix exact by me. New fuel and newly opened synthetic oil but oil bottle was a few years old. Don’t see spark even in pitch dark room. Plug looks good cleaned it anyway. multimeter tested good. Gap is good. Put it in weed eater and it started so plug is good. Plug wire looks good, good connection to spark plug. No spark with ground wires removed. Pulled coil out and all connection ohms are correct. Strong magnet. On off switch ohms correct in both positions. Carb adjustment and choke move as normal. Even checked the exhaust arrester screen... clean. Still no start. Can I shoot it?????? Or just walk around with it on my back wearing safety glasses and ear protection and pretend I’m looking for ghosts?? I am older so could get away with it.... I can’t think of any other options.

Check for a missing gasket between the cylinder port and metal heatshield. The bolts ViewProof showed were tight. But mine was missing more than half that gasket, after I pulled that plastic "manifold" off. Good luck.

Maybe a couple of spring washers could solve the problem

one word. Lights

Prob should’ve used thread locker lol

Thanks for watching! Not a bad suggestion. I certainly wouldn't use anything stronger than Loctite 222.

That's called insulator block. O K, thanks

I'm going to put this out there! Do yourself all a favor! Buy a professional leaf blower and leave these small junker companies on the shelf! 2nd one in 3 years and same problem! Used maybe 3x each! Junk! Pure Junk!!

Well plastic nuts to that.......

He said it was an allen wrench and then you find out that it's a torx bit. Allen and torx are absolutely two different separate things.

This is not for a 48bt! Waste of time!

Is the Inpeller supposed to continuously move on that model

Worked perfectly! Thanks!

Worked perfectly! Many thanks.
