Hi, guys:-

I have a relativley new Husqvarna 130BT 29.5 cc 2-stroke backpack leaf
blower and it has a stalling problem- runs for some time (maybe 30
seconds or maybe 5 minutes) then slows down and (usually) stalls or
sometimes speeds up again. It pretty much restarts immediately with a
pull. Fresh gas properly mixed with 2-stroke oil 50:1 as recommended.

Cleaned the gasoline pickup, tried loosening the gas cap in case the
vent was plugged.

It certainly points to a plugged vent condition. Are you sure you
loosened the cap enough to clearly vent the tank?


Any ideas?

There's apparently no manual choke (the usual primer bulb) but a lever
that has open and closed on it- it really only runs continuously in
one position (and the compression seems to be gone in other position).
The manual (such as it is- it covers three models) is silent on what
should be done with it.

Loose carburetor screws might cause that. The flange could warp as
the engine warms and cause a lean mixture and stall.
