I think you invented the problems your self the blower looks hardly used to say the spark arrester is plugged I don't think it even came off that blower no not convinced sorry
Well it was plugged , I could not blow through it.
I went to your channel. I think you need to make a few videos so you understand what it is like.
I see it all the time with new equipment and uneducated operators that just throw in 2 stroke oil by eye balling it.
I use good oil and proper mix on my BR600 but still need to clean that spark arrester about every 50 hours. Otherwise, the blower will start but stalls and bogs on acceleration.

I think the previous guy failed to check the condition of the spark arrester screen. So he took apart the carb instead, thinking it was a carb issue, he pulled out the butterfly valve, for doing a deep cleaning, and he failed to install it back in the proper orientation. Of course the amazing Bruce Pender figured it out, and fixed it proper. Great job Bruce!
That could be!!!
@ 23:38 is pure gold! That was exceptional! MAYBE 1 in 10 guys would catch that butterfly being upside down. Really great thinking on your part. Great video brother man. 👍👍👍
Glad you enjoyed it! I was thinking of you. Those carbs do come in different styles once they are chinese ones.
Thanks Bruce, After trying to get my machine going for about an hour I came in and found your channel. That is exactly what my problem was. Once I cleaned the baffle it started right up and kept running.
Perfect.
At the end of the video .... Bruce esphyxiates himself lol
I did open the door, LOL
Thanks for helping me get my blower running.
You made my day Barry
Nice one Bruce! You got it spinning nice - have a nice weekend!
Thanks, you too!
Nice work Bruce you got it
Very impressed Bruce. You had to put a lot of extra work into that that you should not of had to, fiddle fairies. Thanks Stevo
Thanks again Steve
Good job Bruce, I have an old br400 and it needs to be started 1 pull full choke then ran for 1 min. 1/2 choke then it's happy , been like that for years!
Yes that is common on a lot of engines.
You sussed that one out well Bruce. Can’t believe that someone burst the plastics to get to the adjusting screws, crazy.
That one got me too.
Your the Back Pack Detective. Good job.
Thanks. I would like to see more. It must be my middle class neighbourhood.
Nice job Mr Bruce, that thing sure is blowing good. 🙂👍
It sure is. I almost put a new carb on it but couldn't give up.
I personally love the satisfaction of getting the original carbs going, only as a last resort will I break down and order one. 🙂👍🏼
Nice job Bruce always overlooked the mufkin direstor a job well done
Thanks 👍
Thanks so much, I had gone through everything but that, sure enough I cleaned the spark arrestor and it fired right up.
Glad it helped
I always take the blower tube off first when I work on blowers. Always in the way. You can zip tie the throttle controller to the side off the machine for testing. It easily unscrews from the tube.
Great tip! Thanks We don't see many backpack types up hear as i am sure you could tell.
Just picked one up off FB market BR430 runs good. Good info will come in handy Bruce💯✔️💪🏽
Great
Bruce at the end of your vid...crack that garage door....I want some cross ventilation for the Dr.
I know It got smokey
Stihl owns Zama; bought the Japanese co. in '08. Thus, that must be an aftermarket carb. Great catch on the plate. At one point I thought it might need a valve adjustment, but after checking, I learned that the 430 is not a 4-Mix engine like my BR600.
Right
Very nice repair my friend, runs smooth as a babies butt.
Thanks. If my flipping of the the butterfly didn't work i would have ordered a new carb.
Good job Bruce.. it had lots of little problems.. but the master sorted it.. runs great even if you turn it on first lol
You got that right! LOL
Good mechanical detective work Bruce ! Although some Stihl blowers are 2 stroke and others 4 stroke, they all start the same : you just turn the choke on 1 or 2 notches ( it will also open the throttle a bit) no need to fiddle with the throttle trigger on the blower tube. Once started, touching the throttle trigger will cancel choke and bring the machine back to idle. Oh yeah, for the younger crowd, that "Clampett" joke was a referral the a '60s tv show called The Beverley Hillbillies. Regards !
Thanks a lot.
Wow sir nice fix have a safe weekend sir
Thanks, you too!
Good job Bruce. Stihl does make some good equipment but they can be a pain to work on. Stihl normally uses Zama carbs. I have an old BR400 back pack blower that I let my dad keep and use. I finally had to replace the carb a few years ago. I bought one of those Chinese knock offs and it runs great. Most Back Pack blowers should be started in Idle position and them idle a minute or two to warm up then they are good to go.
Thanks for the info
Nice catch there Bruce. You are the man!👍
Thanks 👍
Top man Bruce great job
Thanks a bunch
great job Bruce
Thanks for watching
Masterful troubleshooting sir. Who else would have noticed the butterfly and screw placement?
Well I just thought about there being a need for more turbulence over the low speed jet.
Good stuff Bruce .
Thanks Pete👍
As Stella would say “Blow Happy!!!”
🤣😲
Right on.
Should be a zama I think, I have one of those as my personal, was a customer's, I quoted a price, and they said keep it, so I did, great job as usual there sir.
Thanks for sharing. I almost ordered a carb.
Great video Bruce
thanks Barry
I was hopping you was going to open your door lol😊
Right.
Love the singing Bruce lolol Mary Ellen xxx she was lovely 🥰
Fun thanks
Good job Bruce and good 👁 of the 🎻 🧚♀️
Thank you kindly
@@BrucesShop your welcome sir.
I really enjoy working on B&S 4 strokes. I get the occasional 2 strokes, and somewhat cringe when I pick them up. Mainly working with sausage fingers and tiny carbs make it a drawn out task.
Yes The little stuff is hard to manage.
@@BrucesShop
FTM…
I totally agree! I purposely fail to carry any 2 stroke carb kits. That way I can… 🤷♂️
@@jimyeske8498 say no
Hey Bruce stihl backpacks will always need choke on first start, no throttle requires as full choke does that for you. Once started turn choke off and it will or should run ok.
You know i dod not know that at first. Thanks for the great info
How's she goin'? Good catch on the plugged muffler. There were some little things wrong with this but I think you got them all fixed up. It's working good now eh!! Take care!!!
Thanks once again
I loved watching The Beverly Hillbillies after school.
Me too. The third year of grade 3 for me (kidding) LOL
Bruce’s shop STIHL backpack blower is good 👍
Right on
Bruce .....Turn Left Me.... turn Left ? .Bruce... Right .Me ...Then turn Left..Right ??? Bruce ...I have a Headache
OK Thanks
You tube asked me, and I gave you 5 stars sir.
Wow Thanks!!!
Ok, ok! I’ll start working on a Stihl gas extractor! 🤣
LOL Thanks
I have that same blower. Wouldn't start. Finally figured out that a mud dauber wasp had plugged the exhaust with mud.
Wow that is a first for me.
Weather sucks here it is cold and wet outside barely 50 F and I am trying to wake up and warm up
I need to quit whining and drink my hot coffee and eat my little chocolate donuts
Enjoy them
Good day from Ontario. Yea those funnels, I have one, not sure they separate everything? How do u like yours? Thanks good video
I use it for water mostly
I think when you start any gas-powered engine you should do it outside or have adequate ventilation.
I keep track of the doors when i am in the garage. You are right though in your thoughts. Thanks for helping out.
How did you solve the compression issue with the hard to pull start cord?
The only thing that helped was a bit of oil in the cylinder through the spark plug hole.
i love how you show everything, we live for danger, good job bruce
Thanks
Any cement ponds up in your neck of the woods in Canada Bruce?🏊
Well Doggy no
That's the most dusty!! Unit I've ever seen!!! Lol just imagine what the shop and tools look like where it came from..
You and me both!
What is the first thing you know?
not much
😎👍
Thanks --- Tak
Good video!
I am not a fan of Stihl blowers, too much of a pain to take apart. Give me an old Husqvarna with the Kawsaki motor every time.
Thanks for sharing. I am thinking you are right.
@@BrucesShop I think mine's easy to take apart but I am not sure, it's only 15 or so years old... so it's not broken in yet. 🤣
Hi Jed....haha
OK?
Should have done the carb cleaning for good measure
Or I could watch till the end...
lol
Stihl owns Zama it probably is a Zama or someone else put a Chinese aftermarket carb on.
Right. Thanks a lot.

Right
Talk about carbon monoxide poisoning.
Thanks for the help
What a joke, get a mechanic instead!😂
Well I understand. However, you are not watching a Steven Spielberg production. I went to your channel and noticed you have not made any videos. So, I will make you a deal!!! I will make sure I improve my videos and at the same time I want you to make one video of something you like. I will watch it and enjoy your effort. This is a very difficult thing to do on a budget as there is only one person producing the entertainment. There is no one else doing this. Including----- Ideas, Filming, Production and Editing, Sound and Lighting. I hope you enjoy my other productions and I truly want you to enjoy my other videos.
