Husqvarna 350BT 50.2 cc Gas Backpack Leaf Blower DIES AT IDLE Error Fix: Engine Dies When Idling

The engine starts but stalls when returning to idle — adjust the carburetor idle screw (LA) to increase idle speed; a clogged fuel filter or cracked fuel line allows air into the fuel system causing intermittent fuel starvation at idle; clean or rebuild the carburetor if idle problems persist after adjustment; check the fuel tank vent — a plugged vent creates vacuum in the tank and starves the engine of fuel
