redmax back pack blower

[General Grounds]

:blob3: about every 2 weeks i have to change the spark plug in my eb6200 because it will not start as easily as it does with a fresh plug (1 maybe 2 pulls). change the plug and fires right up. i run some 25+ pieces of redmax equip. and none do this i run the same plug in all, any ideas??? tony

are the plug fowled and anyway and are you setting the gap on the new plugs?

If plugs are fowled you may have a cylinder gone bad.

And if you haven't set the gap that would explain why they are good at first. The gap is just getting wider after using.

:blob3: hunter, good point with the gap, i missed that one, the motor is relatively new its a short block less than a year old. thanks tony

On a related note, check the screw that hold the choke lever. When mine was new, the choke lever would vibrate to the"choke on" position and kill the engine. Just tighten the screw to fix it.
