Ye olde Snapper Backpack

[JKNW]

Drug the old man's backpack blower out in preparation for fall cleanup season. It runs-ish, definitely needs the carb gone through but info seems a bit scarce. Anyone happen to know what model this little Nikki carb is and where I guy might find a rebuild? Looks like a tiny round slide dirt bike carb with a diaphragm instead of a float bowl. So far looking for Nikki carb parts I've only been able to find stuff for the later lawnmower carburetors.

Blower is a Snapper 415 BPB, late 80's vintage.

I'm gonna bet that blower was also sold under the Green Machine name, maybe see if you can match it up?

We have a big box of Nikki kits from the 90's and before. If you could send me a pic and #s off the carburetor it would help. I'd say this is a Japanese blower--probably an Echo (it looks like a version of the PB400).

I was thinking Mitsubishi aka Green Machine.
