Clean your spark arrestors and restore your faith in Stihl bud lol.

To the Op, Stihl, Echo, etc etc. Buy local from a mom and pop shop that can service it.

I bought a Snapper blower. The model is an 82 volt max. Has a trigger like a gas blower. I blow my whole yard after mowing and have never run out of power. Supposed to last 40 minutes per charge. The battery is a briggs and stratton. I highly recommend. Good power, light weight and no worries about pulling on a rope.

Unfortunately they were all clean. I may have to dig a little deeper on them

Nah, gasket on the inside failed and screws came loose on both units. Bought a new gasket for it, but it never sealed the same. Kept leaking oil. Both blowers still run, but leak oil.

I used to take a torch to the spark arrestor to burn off the carbon. Quick fix that lasted a while.
