I have a small backpack Husqvarna leaf blower (125BT). It's probably 12 years old, definitely used it a lot. It starts fine, idles fine, but when I open the throttle, it loses power and if I keep the trigger at full it eventually dies. If I only do half throttle I can keep it going. Every so often I have to back off and let it idle for a bit, but at least it will keep going. Operating at half capacity is fine for blowing all the pollen, but not enough of course for the heavier leaves.
I've replaced the gas, cleaned the air filter, replaced the spark plug, and cleaned the muffler/ spark screen. No difference. Any ideas on what's causing it?
