Hello,

Have the typical home Leaf Blower, an Echo
Model PB 2100.

Trying to get it started easily.

The Manual isn't too clear on this:

To start, we Prime the bulb the 10 times it says, and have the Choke on
Full.

But, are you also supposed to hold down the trigger while pulling ?

By trigger I mean what you squeeze to adjust the speed.

Thanks,
Bob

Starting a 2 stroke is more art than science and you do what seems to
work best for that particular 2 stroke.
Opening the throttle is helpful if you flooded it, If for some strange
reason the mix is just right it will start at idle, usually when it is
warm.
With most of them full choke is really too much gas and it will flood.
If it runs a second and stops, turn off the choke, open the throttle
and give it a yank or two. That is what seems to work best on the
little 2 strokes I have.
Play with the throttle to keep it running until it settles down and
will idle OK.

The sears one here that I've been working on, the way I always started it was:

About 3 pushes of the bulb
Full choke
Pull until it fires
Half choke
Pull until it starts
Once running for 15 secs choke off

That's if it's cold. Warm use no choke, if that doesn't work, then try half choke.
