I can't thank you enough for your video. Have a BG50 that would no longer crank. A new plug did not work. Cleaned it real good and replaced air & fuel filter and now she's running like a champ. Also own a 55G at another property and went ahead and did the same thing. You were 100% correct on the screws for side cover pull start. The 50 only takes 4 and are all the same size. The 55 the one in the top right is a different size. Thanks again this was so valuable. And to share both the 50 and 55 take the same Stihl air and fuel filters.

This is about the MOST ORGANIZED Video on any maintenance I have ever seen.... I cannot help to notice all the detail that people miss when recording a video for repair. there more often than not noise in the BG, dogs barking; neighbors yelling; children playing, radio and music impairing the tutorial; cars running... None of that here. Well Done.

Great job on this video. I confess I am guilty of running these machines and expecting them to function perfectly every time just by making sure they’ve got the right mix of gas and oil. the only other thing I do at the end of the season is run the gas completely out. Also I make sure that the gasoline I use is ethanol free. It’s more expensive, but it’s a lot cheaper than having to buy a new blower or a new carburettor or whatever. you’ve been successful at reminding me that a little maintenance can go along long way. Thanks to your video I don’t have to be afraid to try doing some things myself rather than running to the repair shop.

Thanks for this video! I gave it a good clean, emptied the fuel, and cleaned off the spark plug. Didn’t replace a thing, but adjusting the spark plug gap and getting a mighty flame when torching my spark arrestor is what I think really did the trick. Didn’t start before and now it runs great!

Thanks alot for this video. My blower was bogging down like crazy. I was about to take it in for service. After watching your video, it gave me the confidence to perform the tune up myself. It was easy. I was expecting the spark arrester to be totally clogged, it wasn’t. I think the throttle screws needed adjustment. In any case, thanks!

What was your issue, exactly? I've got a bogging issue and it's not the arrestor so I'm curious as to what your problem was and how you fixed it

Soo if if i tilt my bg55 on a slight angle it seems to run weaker. If i return the tube to a mor paralell position to the ground it seems to run smoother. No issues starting it. No issues really. I found it in a puddle, in a tsunami of a rain storm. It was most likely left behind by a blacktop crew. So its already paid for its self.

YOU FAILED TO MENTION THE OIL AND GAS MIXTURE. 40:1 IS BEST EVEN THOUGH THE MANUFACTURER SUGGESTS 50:1 BUT THAT'S A POLLUTION REDUCTION INCENTIVE. IN THIS CASE, MORE LESS GAS:OIL IS BETTER AS YOUR BEARINGS WILL LAST A LOT LONGER
