craftsman leaf blower
I have a craftsman leaf blower that is about 8 years old, with low usage. It will run for about 10 to 15 minutes then shut down. 2o minutes later I am able to restart and run again. I have changed the fuel filters twice. Thoughts?

I don't know the routing of the hoses on a leaf blower but on a car what you describe would probably be a VAPOR LOCK.
Look for any looping in the way the fuel tubing is routed. Vapor lock is fuel boiled in a high spot in the tube, usually near the muffler or exhause manifold. When it cools the fuel condenses back and the fuel becomes liquid again. The tubing should route straight thru with no high spots between the tank and the carb. Perhaps you relocated the line when you replaced the filter?
