A:  No adjustment on this carburetor. You have to buy a aftermarket if you need to make adjustments.

A:  Depends if the women is strong or if she is weak.

A:  I owned one of these very briefly. It started just fine without much effort and ran for about 20 minutes. Then I noticed a burning smell which was the plastic shroud around the exhaust. It was starting to melt. Everything was secured and in place as it should be, but the shroud was still melting. Shortly there after the machine started to run poorly. I shut it off and checked it over. I then attempted to start the machine, but now it would no longer run normally. It would only run if it was fully choked. If I tried to open the choke the engine would just die. Adjustments to the fuel mixture made no difference. I removed the spark plug and even replaced the spark plug to no avail. Finally I returned it to Home Depot as a favor to myself. I then bought a better brand and have been happy ever since. 

A:  As long as it is maintained properly it will start just fine, my wife and 12 year old daughter can start it without issue. Just remember to prime it first.

A:  Hello, Mosully - Thank you for your question. It would depend on your strength. This blower is started by pulling the starter grip and rope sharply until the engine attempts to run. I hope this helps!

A:  Yeah, it's pretty easy. I have had mine for over a year and it starts with 3 moderate pulls

A:  you have to mix the gas 50 to 1. The easiest way is to get a one gallon can and put a can of 2cycle oil in it so it will be mixed for the blower.

A:  First, this is one of the best. Second it takes 50:1 gas. 

A:  Hello, Ginat - Thank you for your question. You should only use unleaded gasoline containing up to 10% ethanol. This product is powered by a 2-cycle engine and requires pre-mixing gasoline and 2-cycle lubricant. I hope this helps!

A:  If by “100% gasoline” you mean ethanol free gasoline, the answer is yes.  Ethanol free gasoline is all I use in small engines, both 2 and 4-cycle.  Works fine mixing with 2-cycle oil for use in the leaf blower.
