How does one repair a slow running electric leaf blower?

Answer by  John85 (42)

Make sure to adjust the idle so the unit is running at a higher idle speed. The idle adjustment should be located near the carburator. Typically it can be adjusted with a screwdriver. Another option is to check that the spark plug is clean. Remove the spark plug, check for dirt and clean if needed.

The most common reason for a slow running electric leaf blower is the accumulation of dust and filth around the fan. Remove the cover over the fan and clean away any excess dirt. Then apply a spray of lubricant.

there really is no way for a consumer to repair an electical motor. Best option would be to remove the motor and take it to a qualified motor repair shop.

Disconnect from electricity. Inspect the air intake and outlet for signs of clogging with debrise. With care disassemble housing and clean debrise from housing. Blow compressed air into motor. Reassemble.
