    Default Leaf Blower, Now What?

    So, I bought an Echo PB-413 back pack leaf blower today. I really have no use for a leaf blower but I was helping someone out. I need another project like I need another hole in the head.




    Two stroke. Runs but doesn't rev very high. Needs a good cleaning/new gas/carb clean and adjust.

    Though it might be good for light snow removal.

    What are some good alternative uses for these things?

    I don't have any gutters and don't mow my yard. Don't like my neighbors that much either.

    Two strokes can run backwards.

    Small engines combined with centrifugal clutches can power all kinds of things.

    I use mine to blow out my dryer vent. I just take the cap off out side in hook the hose from the back of the dryer stick the hose from the leaf blower inside the dryer vent wrap a towel around the connection so I don't get any blow back and let her rip. Works really good
