Common Husqvarna leaf blower issues and repairs

Proper maintenance and timely repairs help extend the life of your gas leaf blower. From vibration issues to starting failures, here’s how to diagnose and fix common problems.

Excessive vibration

A cracked fan blade is a common cause of excessive vibration. Inspect and replace the fan blade if damaged.
An engine issue can also lead to vibration. Perform routine maintenance to keep it running smoothly.
If vibration continues after maintenance, the carburetor may be dirty or partially clogged.
