Echo PB210E Blower

Help, I've had my Echo PB210E blower since ~1999/2000. It has been tuned up once (cost me a fortune) and just recently it wouldn't start. The gas was about 6 months old so I dumped it and put in some new gas. It still wouldn't fire. I pulled the plug and changed it, without any results. I tried to ground the plug and pull the cord to turn the motor over to see if I could see any spark and I can't see any spark. I've read some of the other posts about the spark not going out or being an issue. It seems that mine is not getting a spark. Any recommendations?

Try giving it a sprinkle of mixed gas in the carb inlet then see if it fires when you pull it .. Try to isolate the problem to see if it's a fuel/carb or a ignition problem.&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;Good luck,&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;Friiy<BR> I follow the tips that you give and it's work like a charm! echo backpack blower

Help, I've had my Echo PB210E blower since ~1999/2000. It has been tuned up once (cost me a fortune) and just recently it wouldn't start. The gas was about 6 months old so I dumped it and put in some new gas. I bought the most expensive Echo Leafblower for @ $400 in the early-mid '90's. It gave me about 8-9 good years, then became almost impossible to start. (unfortunately, I wasn't that diligent about running out the fuel every season, then buying new fuel next season). Rather than paying a fortune to "tune it, or repair it"--I've been down that path before---I sold it for $40 on CL. Bought a new PB-413 2 yrs. ago for $299. Like night & day. Seems like a bargain, really. Now I'm obsessive about fresh fuel, using fuel stabilizer, running out the fuel every season, etc......
