How To Maintain & Troubleshoot Your STIHL BR 800 Blower | Small Engine Series Ep. 3

If your backpack blower’s acting up — this is the video you need!

In the third episode of our Small Engine Series, Jordan Files and I break down the STIHL BR 800 — showing you real-world issues that crews deal with in the field and how to fix them before they turn into downtime.

This BR 800 has been beat up, duct-taped, and tossed around for 5+ years... and it still runs. We walk through the exact maintenance that’s kept it alive — and how you can do the same for your equipment.

🛠️ What we cover:
• How throttle cable damage affects performance
• Valve adjustment: when to do it and why it matters
• Common fuel issues from water contamination
• Kill switch & ground wire breakdowns
• Signs of poor runnability — and how to fix it fast

This is real-life equipment education for real landscapers — not just theory. If you manage a crew, run a business, or want to learn the basics before heading to the shop, this one’s for you.
