The fuel is fresh ( > 89 octane : RON ) and properly mixed at 50 : 1 with “ISO L-EGD” or “JASO FC/ FD” 2 stroke oil.
The ECHO PB-580T gas leaf blower features a 58.2cc professional-grade, 2-stroke engine with a tube-mounted throttle.
ECHO gas blowers run on a 50:1 ratio of gas and oil mixture.
Echo premium Power Blend TM Universal 2-Stroke Oil may be mixed at 50:1 ratio for application in all Echo engines sold in the past regardless of ratio specified in those manuals.
If your leaf blower does not blow air, it is possible that debris has been sucked into the blower housing, impeding the impeller from doing its job. If the impeller is loose or the blades of the impeller are damaged or broken off, it can also cause the blower to become unable to blow air.

Any suggestions? Thank You.

Where is the flywheel located on an Echo PB251 gas leaf blower?
ANSWER : Before you go through the trouble of dismantling the blower to get to the flywheel you should perform a compression test. 140 psi is ideal. Less than 100 its probably not worth repairing. Less than 90 it shouldn’t run.

Where is the coil on a pb255 hand blower – Echo 135 mph 390 CFM Gas Blower PB-250
ANSWER : Flollow the plug wire it will take you too the coil

Will only develop power (and run somewhat properly) when the choke is engaged about 90%. Starts fine.
ANSWER : Sounds to me as tho you may have a loose carburetor or another part that is letting air into the system. Check all bolts and screws for tightness. Also, you may need to clean the carburetor or put some cleaner in your gas. Not too much, only about a tablespoon, but check the screws/bolts first.

I have a Echo PB 2601 made a loud bang then stoped working.
ANSWER : Sounds like it has seized up. If the pull cord won’t pull then the motor is locked up. Did you run gas/oil mix for the fuel its a 2 cycle motor…
