New Leaf Blower Today !

Had to bite the bullet today.. And buy a new leaf blower. I usually dont get Stihl stuff... But i like there hand held blowers... They are priced right... And you can still adjust the carb . Price is right on these... BG55's ! Its funny what i look at now before i buy something. I didnt go with the Echo because of no carb adjustments. By the time I ran this new Stihl about 30 mins on and off... It was out of adjustments with the carb limiting caps. So off they came ! And looks like this choked up motor has some room for a lil muffler mod ! It will run way better with some help. I ususlly dont wait too long before i void the warranty on stuff

 

When I was looking for one I ended up with the husky 125b version and came with 2 tips. Full adjust carb on mine too. husky fuel lines were junk I will say that. Stihl had the better lines as I have worked on that one too.

Now you got to get the gutter attachment if needed. Cats azz if you need or have to do that twice a year like me.

I use the flared tip 99% of the time over the round one.

Just pics of the old school husky blower trade in compared to my new one.

 

Nice Husqvarnas ! Ill definetly have to get some attachments for it. Sounds like a good time saver for sure ! I actually love the look of your old blower for some reason ! Im a sucker for old stuff i guess This new still only came with a straight pipe... So ill definetly need something

 

I sold that old one for $50 to guy at work. The new one was $129-$149 cant remember.

 

Thats a good price on the used one and new one ! Im replacing my old hand me down Stihl bg 61 av electronic ! It still runs great. But needs some work and a part i cant track down yet. So ill sell it after i hopefully find it

 

Just unscrew that spark arrestor (build into the exhaust outlet) and fatten up the H screw. Instant MM. That's what I did on my BG55. Screw it back in for warranty work. Sounds pretty BA for a small blower too.

 

Shoot me your part # you are looking for HF.

 

Ill do that to the muffler ! I saw it had a bolt head around it... I said man .... Theres no way its that easy . As for the old stihl part number... I cant even figure out the part number... As the 2 closest dealers are newer and they dont sell solely saws . Ive got another good dealer a bit away. Havent made it there yet tho. The last part thats holding me up is a simple gas tank gromment where the fuel line comes in. Tried to rig and make one.. But it wont work properly. Ill take a pic.

 

Thanks Lukem ! Pulled this out.... Instant unclogged motor that has double the throttle response... Not even kidding guys. Sounds like this ....shoot. Havin trouble with vid. Ill keep tryin

Thanks C4f ! That looks like what i need ! Wasnt sure if it was a part shared by another. Thanks for saving me on this one.... Greatly appreciated !

 

Regular 2 stroke indeed ! You cant beat the backpacks for power and speed. My back cant take the extra weight... So a nice lightweight handheld does the trick for my 5 minutes of driveway and sidwslk cleanup every week

 

I'm just a 2 stroke guy. Give me a 2 stroke blower and pole saw please.

Seen to many 4 mix nixed in pics.

 

Those are amazing pics. Wow !

 

Thanks buddy !!

 

Very nice. Sound like mean little boogers with that exhaust opened up don't they.
