What to do when your Ace leaf blower is leaking gas
Move the leaf blower to a well-ventilated area and check the fuel lines for cracks if your leaf blower leaks gas. Replace the fuel lines if they're cracked and leaking fuel.
If fuel leaks from the carburetor, rebuild or replace the carburetor to prevent gas from leaking. Replace the fuel tank cap if its seal is damaged and leaking. Check the fuel tank and replace if it's damaged.
Replacing the carburetor on your Ace gas leaf blower
- In a well-ventilated area, remove the fuel cap and empty the fuel from the fuel tank into an approved storage container. To ensure that the leaf blower can’t start, disconnect the wire from the spark plug.
- Remove the screws from the air filter cover and then remove the air filter cover. Remove the carburetor mounting screws. Pull out the air box and release it from the carburetor throttle and choke lever. Note the configuration of the small and large fuel lines on the carburetor so you can reconnect them correctly later and then remove the fuel lines from the carburetor. Discard the carburetor.
- Push the fuel lines onto the proper connections on the carburetor. Insert the carburetor into the air box with the throttle and choke levers positioned properly. Position the carburetor on the side of the engine and reinstall the mounting screws. Position the air filter cover over the carburetor and secure it with the mounting screws.
- Reattach the spark plug wire to the spark plug.
