Just wondered if anyone had experience of these engines, specifically the carb?
Having problems with the backpack blower again. Stalls once you try hitting full revs. It went back to Makita just before the warranty expired, for the same issue.
Looking online, there's little info on them. One bloke on Yoitube says carb replacement is pretty much a yearly replacement on his. Seems like a crap carb design if so.
So, just wondering if it's worth stripping the carb & having a ganders? Owt specific to check? Replacement carb is around the £50 mark, if I knack it up. I'll be damned if I'm going to replace the carb every year or so though, if they're serviceable or modifiable for reliability.
