Why won't my leaf blower start even after following the starting procedure?

If the blower won't start, ensure the fuel is fresh and mixed correctly. Check for a clogged air filter or a fouled spark plug. Inspect the ignition system and carburetor for issues.

How can I troubleshoot a loss of power during operation?

Check the air filter for dirt or debris and clean it if necessary. Inspect the spark plug for carbon build-up and replace if needed. Ensure the fuel is fresh and the fuel filter is not clogged.
