Default Leaf Blower issue

I hope that this is the correct place to post this.

I have a craftsman leaf blower, and it has been a great yard tool from
many years.
Now the problem: This past year the only way it will run is with the
choke on 1 1/2 clicks. What's up with that???
It works OK, but it is a pain to keep the lever in the right spot. How
do I adjust this?

Thanks
Dave

The carb is probably gummed up. Run some Gumout or Barrymen B-12 through it.
Used to have all kinds of trouble with my string trimmer till I started
using gas stabilizer, all the time.
