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. Fine.

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

Mine's a Stihl and it works the same as any other blower. Don't prime it at
all, set it to Choke, fully depress the throttle and pull until it runs for a
second...anymore than 5-pulls means your carb needs either a cleaning or a new
diaphragm.

Then, set it to Run, fully depress the throttle and pull until it
runs...shouldn't be anymore than 3-pulls and you can either release the
throttle to let it warm-up by idling or you can feather/rev it.

So yes, ALWAYS hold the trigger all of the way down (in your case) when
starting and only until started. This, lets the carb do its pumping job and
prime the fuel-line and combustion chamber. There's no need to waste the time
pumping the primer bulb and wearing it out. Meaning, if you don't have to pump
the priming bulb to keep it running, then you never need to pump the priming
bulb.

Funny, the instructions for mine are right on the side
and the first step is to pump the primer bulb 6 times. If you
don't need to pump it, WTF is it there for? I've had several blowers
and similar small engine, they all had pushing the priming bulb
as the first step for starting it cold. Other people have posted the
same for their blowers here. I'd say the simple thing to
do is look on the blower, many times the instructions are right there.
Or RTFM.

you can see the fuel in there, which is why I tried it. I tried it and it
worked exactly the same, I never went back to priming. By depressing the
throttle you're letting the carb do its job and you can't flood it. I've never
had a single problem from it.

The only function of the primer is to get enough gas in the carburetor
to get it to start. If the diaphragm "valves" (the ones under the big
screw) in the cheap assed Walbro are working at all the fuel will be
flowing as soon as it starts as long as the other rubber diaphragm
under the 4 screws is not punctured.

To get the most reliable operation for small engines, I bought gasoline that had no ethanol in it. It's been a while since I was able to do any yard work but I searched for and found a service station that sold alcohol-free gas. The station sold a lot of gasoline to landscaping and yard maintenance companies. ヽ(ヅ)ノ

I used a Stihl weed eater, jes last Summer. After trying --w/o
success-- to start it fer about an hour, I finally found the can of
'starter fluid' that went with it. Started right up!

We have 6 dead gas trimmers in our shop.

That is only a problem if you store gas. The Walbro carbs have no
problem with ethanol and of you don't let it sit around it will not
phase separate. I have a boat and it has burned nothing but E-10 since
that became the cheapest gas. We are 12 month boaters so the gas keeps
moving, My lawn equipment uses gas in that fuel stream. If a can I
mixed starts getting old, it goes in the boat, oil and all but I try
not to keep "lawn" gas. I always have fresh boat gas in the shed.

Tip: get a 10 CC syringe from the drug store (they might just give it
to you). That is 50:1 in a 1/2 liter of gas. Check your machine's tank
volume and do a little arithmetic. A tank of gas is X cc of oil. Mix
it right in the tank. I wrote on the machines with a sharpie pen.
If I am not cutting up a hurricane's worth of downed trees or
something, I mix a tank of gas at a time and dump it out when I am
done. Run it till it stops.
Pour that dumped out gas into something you will be using.
A couple of CCs of oil in your car or boat will not even be noticed

Uh-huh. But, we're not talking about a neglected carb. The guy just wants to
know if he needs to do all the fiddling around garbage and if he should be
holding the throttle in. I just did my instructions violating procedure a few
hours ago and I was up and running in 20-seconds.
