Homelite UT08111A leaf blower (Backpacker) SURGING

[megawatt]

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

My backpack leaf blower surges after about 3 mins of use
I have tried to make adj. with no luck.
I have check carb mounting screws and all tight
what I have found out and there seems to be alot of bubbles comming up in the fuel tank.
sometimes I can take blower off my back and hold it sideways and will blow good for a while.the other way to make it better is if I pinch off the return line going to the fuel tank it will run good.
I have read other post but im asking mabe someone has had this happen

thanks in advance Robbie

Only things I can think of are air filter, and the fuel filter inside the tank, maybe spray down the carb with some cleaner but ...

That is, other than Homelite isn't the best product out there, just an economy tool lasts as long as it might, I'd get something better when you get a chance, that would likely be the best fix for it.

I will try to fine tune tomarrow in daylight
