Default sorta-OT Small Engine stalling

In article ,
what says...
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.

Any ideas?


Total novice here but the symptoms sound pretty close to what happend with my
chainsaw earlier this year.

Does it have a spark arrestor and if it does, is the spark arrestor clogged
with carbon?
