echo hand held leaf blower

took it home, mixed the 32:1 and fired it up... cranked fine, ran for about 2 minutes.. died..

died like you pulled the switch... pull..pull.. puuuuulllll l till you sweat, kick it cuss it and walk away.. (catch your breath)

back in 10 minutes... pull ?? fired first pull...ran 10 minutes... died ??? what the ?????

kept pranking with it till I just left it in the driveway and hoped someone I didn"t like would steal it...

mentioned it on another forum... they said maybe the fuel tank cap is clogged and it"s vacuum locking (sorta) the tank needs to pull air..

cleaned the check valve in the cap tried it..same thing... loosened the cap... same thing...

I wish I had a taller fence to throw it over #$^%^$$

any suggestions ?? got to be heat related but dang it don"t run long enough to figure out what it is ???

TIA
