    Default Echo Blower Slowing engine speed & stalling

    Hi all,

    Had my Echo ES2100 blower vac acting up yesterday. Just started slowing down and eventually wouldn't keep running for too long. Last time it was bogging down I just did an air filter change & it was all sweet.

    Checked the air filter this time and it's still good. Wasn't sure what else I should check so I pulled the spark plug and it was looking like this:

    Any ideas..? I will check the fuel filter & hope that fixes it...

    But what do you think of the plug anyway? I have been using the Stihl semi-synthetic oil at recommended ratio of 50:1.

    Cheers

    Yes, also take off the muffler & check the exhaust port & the spark plug gap for carbon.

    Thanks for all the tips, sorry for the late reply!

    I did end up getting this running just like new, it was the spark arrestor - pretty clogged up. Glad that could be removed with just a few screws. Thanks all!
