If your Husqvarna BT150 blower is not starting or running, the fuel lines may be clogged, crimped or cracked. In this case, you will need to replace them. This can be done by removing the blower tube thumb screw from the front of the housing, followed by the screws from the right side of the housing. You can then pull the left side of the housing off the blower, which will also remove the fan cover and handle. Next, remove the fuel tank from the housing, and then the muffler guard cover. You can then pull out the fuel filter, which is located at the end of the fuel line. Finally, you can replace the fuel filter and reverse the previous steps to reassemble the blower.
