My 18 year old Sears leaf blower gave up its ghost. I tried to
resuscitate it by rebuilding the carb, but no joy.

I am looking for an inexpensive gas leaf blower for light duty around my home.

I was looking at the reviews of some blowers at Walmart, the HD and
Amazon, but they all had rather poor reviews, except the $ 500 Echos. I
don't want to spend more than @ 100.

Any recommendations based on experience? Is it worth looking at any of
the many re-furbished blowers on E-bay?

Thanks

I got two stihl blowers. Very good. Don't buy horizontal flywheels. You
can't move side to Side. My one is also a sucker. My smaller unit, I
drilled out the exhaust for more hp. That one is 7 years old. Don't go for
wind speed. You need speed and volume.
