1. Engine Stops Midway

The engine of your Husqvarna 150 BT blower can stop while you are blowing leaves all of a sudden. Usually, a clogged air filter or engine not operating normally at idle speed is the issue.

Also, if the fuel tank has an incorrect fuel type, this issue will occur.

The Fix

First of all, check the air filter for any buildup of dirt. If it is dirty, clean it thoroughly.

Now, you should inspect the carburetor and examine if the engine operates correctly at idle speed. If it does not, take the blower to a servicing center.

Lastly, you should also check the fuel tank. Change the fuel if you are not using the correct fuel for the blower.

2. Not Starting

There are several reasons why the engine of your Husqvarna 150 BT blower won’t start. Usually, there are blocked or worn starter pawls which is the issue.

Other issues include no spark from the spark plug due to a dirty or wet plug, improper electrode spacing on the spark plug, and a loose spark plug.

Also, incorrect fuel type and unadjusted idle speed can cause this issue.

The Fix

First of all, examine the starter pawls. If they are blocked or seem worn, be sure to clean around the pawls. You should replace them if cleaning does not help.

Inspect the spark plug and clean it properly. If it is wet, wipe it with a dry cloth. Now, ensure that the spacing between the electrode and the spark plug is adequate.

Finally, make sure that the spark plug is tightened in its place and that the fuel mixture is correct.

3. Damaged Engine

Usually, the Husqvarna 150BT users do not experience a damaged engine. But it may occur if the air filter of the blower becomes very dirty.

As a result, the engine becomes damaged. So, cleaning the air filter regularly is a must.

The Fix

If the engine becomes damaged, you might need to replace the whole engine. So, it is better to keep the air filter clean so that this situation does not occur.

To clean the air filter, first of all, press the choke control of the blower to the closed option. Now, detach the cover of the air filter.

After removing the pre-filter from the cover of the air filter, disconnect it from the filter frame. Now, clean the air filter with a brush, soap, and warm water.

4. Harness Falling Off

If the harness of the Husqvarna 150BT blower tears or deteriorates, it may become unusable.

You may need to replace or repair the harness.

The Fix

To replace the harness, loosen the load lifter straps first. Now, loosen the shoulder straps until it detaches.

Now, adjust the position of the chest strap and attach the belt buckle to the chest strap. Afterward, loosen the waist belt strap and detach the belt buckle for the waist strap.

Now, install the new harness in reverse order.

5. Incorrect Blower Pipe Assembly   

If the blower pipe assembly of the Husqvarna 150BT is not done properly, you will not get enough power from the blower.

The engine might also make noise from time to time. So, a proper assembly is needed to fix the issue.

The Fix

Detach the blower nozzle, intermediate pipe, cable, handle holder, and flexible hose first.

Now, connect the flexible hose with the control pipe and pipe angle. Use clamps to attach them. Now, connect the handle holder with the control pipe. Ensure that the handle holder is aligned with the flange.

After that, adjust the control handle’s placement and tighten the knob. Connect the flexible hose with the cable clamp to the cable and the intermediate pipe with the control pipe.

Finally, connect the intermediate pipe and the blower nozzle to complete the assembly.

6. Cracked Vibration Damping System

If the vibration damping system of the Husqvarna 150BT becomes damaged, the engine will start, but you won’t get enough speed or power to blow the leaves.

If it is not correctly attached, cracks may appear.

The Fix

You should inspect the vibration damping system and check for any cracks. If you notice that it has been cracked, replace it immediately by contacting the company.

If it is not connected properly, tighten the unit firmly to the engine unit and handle unit.
