Replacing the carburetor on your Weed Eater gas leaf blower

• In a well-ventilated area, remove the fuel cap and empty the fuel from the fuel tank into an approved storage container. To ensure that the leaf blower can’t start, disconnect the wire from the spark plug.
• Remove the screws from the air filter cover and then remove the air filter cover. Remove the carburetor mounting screws. Pull out the air box and release it from the carburetor throttle and choke lever. Note the configuration of the small and large fuel lines on the carburetor so you can reconnect them correctly later and then remove the fuel lines from the carburetor. Discard the carburetor.
• Push the fuel lines onto the proper connections on the carburetor. Insert the carburetor into the air box with the throttle and choke levers positioned properly. Position the carburetor on the side of the engine and reinstall the mounting screws. Position the air filter cover over the carburetor and secure it with the mounting screws.
• Reattach the spark plug wire to the spark plug.

How to fix excessive vibration problems on your Weed Eater gas leaf blower

A damaged fan blade can cause a leaf blower to vibrate excessively; replace the fan blade if it’s cracked or damaged.

An engine problem can also make a leaf blower vibrate too much. Do preventive maintenance on the leaf blower to keep the engine running smoothly.

If the engine still runs rough after preventive maintenance, a dirty carburetor could be causing the engine to sputter and vibrate. A partially clogged jet in the carburetor may be preventing the right amount of fuel from reaching the engine cylinder. Rebuild or replace the carburetor if the engine sputters and vibrates.
