Another 2-Stroke engine question

Hey guys!

I've always been able to fix my 2-stroke dirt bikes but my 2-stroke
Lawn/Garden Blower stopped running and I'm at a loss! It started to
bog and then cut out (over about a 15 second period). I figure "Fuel,
Air and Spark" are the things to check. I make sure that fresh fuel
is in the tank, a new fuel filter is installed and pump the primer to
see that fuel is sucking up the tube. I check the Air Filter and it's
clean. I replace the Spark Plug. Still it won't run... It's only a
year and a half old and doesn't get much use.

What else could be wrong that I should look at???

Dang! If it was my YZ I'd have it running by now!!! Seriously,
anyone have any thoughts?

Thanks!

With the choke off, use a little starting fluid. Fine tune the carb
once its running. If that doesn't work, hit the carb with some
compressed air to clear any loose dirt that may be blocking a jet.

With hard starting bikes we've been known to pull them behind a truck
on a strap. Not sure if that works on leaf blowers. <G>
