Echo PB230LN Blower
Comments (4)I also started out with a hand held blower and found myself having to switch hands often. I finally got a backpack blower, which solved that problem. The backpack does a much better job in less time, and is not tiring at all. If you get a chance, try a backpack out before buying a new blower. At least you will know for sure which one is right for you. Charles Ranheim....See MoreEcho PB251 Blower versus Stihl BG55
Comments (15)Sorry Virginia and West Virginia for that matter. It was just a little tom foolery not meant to offend anyone. That goes as well for our friends to the west in Taiwan as well. It's just that I own a pressure washer with a 5hp Honda engine, and I just have to say that it is the nicest little running engine that I have ever owned. And I think that the farmed out Taiwan engines might lack a little on the quality compared to the Japanese ones. I did however have to add a thicker gasket to the plastic manifold in between the carb and the engine due to heat distortion. That one took me a while to diagnose....See MoreEcho or Redmax Backpack Blower
Comments (21)Hi, I have a Redmax 8000 and like it very much. I am not a pro but I do have loads of trees and autumn time I get alot of leaves. Right hand throttle has the throttle control on the hand hold handle on the blower tube. Initially whent he Redmax first came out these were problamatic. May have got better now. My Redmax has the standard throttle control on the left hand side. I quite like it on the left hand side and you do not have to keep on holding down the throttle trigger. Just set and blow.

Comments (13)Even though I was using STIHL Ultra oil, I found what looked like too much carbon on the spark plug. I had been using 3oz of oil per gallon of premium gas. Under advice from others, including tech support, I went to 2.6oz per gallon of gas for a 50:1 mix, instead of 3.0oz for a 42.6:1 mix. My spark plug now stays much cleaner. I also checked the valve clearance for the 2nd time and found it needed vary little decrease in gap compared to the first time I checked it at about 150 hrs. So far, it still starts easily and runs great. There was still a lot of oil accumulation under the valve rocker cover with the 50:1 mix. I guess it proves using more oil than recommended is not a good thing. Charles Ranheim...See MoreVictor Kahler
