Stihl BG55 blower

[dave10562]

Good evening everyone, new member here, currently working on a Stihl BG55 that has me stumped. It will not idle at all. I replaced the carburetor, fuel lines, cleaned out the exhaust port, and the spark arrestor. I pressure tested the crankcase, held pressure for 20 seconds, and also vacuum tested it, held vacuum. Could also use a service manual if anyone has one.

Great bunch of guys here.

Have you tried seeing if it will idle with the fuel cap off? Sometimes the tank vents get covered up with gunk.

Thank you XR650, that was my next step. Was going to vacuum test the fuel tank.

pressure test your fuel line a pinhole or crack will cause that.
