Hi
I picked up a stihl leaf blower br 400 which is a thing I have been wanting for a while.
I had to change the spark plug to get it started but it ticks over and when I press the trigger to put to full power it only goes for 5 seconds or so then dies.
Would this be something to do with the carburetor??
Would anyone know how to set it?
Thanks

Having just been messing with my hedge clippers often it is easier to buy a new carburettor, they are under a tenner. Often these carbs have tamper proof adjustments and they are very tricky to get right if they are not running right. This might help https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DWPUYJiF6KM Good luck, let us kow how it goes.
