This blower is five years old at least. Last year it started acting up - after 10 minutes or so of running at full throttle, it would stall out. My local repair shop cleaned the carb and claimed they had fixed the problem, but they didn't.

We have been using it for the last year: the blower will run for 5 to 30 minutes perfectly, then stall out and can't be re-started unless it sits for 5 to 30 minutes, or more.

The other quirk is that now we can't start it at all, ever, without starting fluid.

Any ideas?
