Starting a blower involves a few straightforward steps: First, ensure the blower is on a flat surface and that you've filled it with the correct fuel mix. Next, press the primer bulb about 5 times to deliver fuel to the carburetor. Then, if your blower has a choke, set it to the full position. Afterward, pull the starter cord sharply until the engine attempts to start, and finally, adjust the choke to the half or run position before pulling the cord again until it runs smoothly.
