I have this:
http://www.homedepot.com/p/Ryobi-185-mph-510-CFM-Gas-Backpack-Blower-RY08420A/203312654
Bought it refurbished 1.5 year ago. Right out the box, it needed like 4X the amount pulls to start, had it mailed to me and didn't want to pay return shipping or anything and thought it might just needed to be broken in or something.
Then it became that I had to remove the extension tube for it to start easy. I think the resistance of the tube had something to do with it but...
Ryobi blower won't start hot, plaguing my life.
