I bought an Echo PB-250 leaf blower about 2 years ago. It has never worked well.

If you want one that works: www.stihlusa.com
If you're too cheap to buy a Stihl, buy a rake. At least the rake will work.

I brought it back to the dealer and he gave me some bull about the gas being old.

If you were using ethanol gas, he was right. In as little as 30 days, ethanol gas can turn to ****.
If you can't find ethanol-free gas, use a fuel like Stihl MotoMix.
