Leaf blower issues are usually fuel-related on gas models or battery problems on cordless units. Two-stroke blowers need fresh 50:1 or 40:1 fuel mix. Clogged spark arrestors cause power loss. Battery blowers lose runtime as cells age—expect 3-5 years from lithium packs. These guides cover handheld and backpack blowers from Echo, Stihl, EGO and other brands.
