Question 1

Where in Raleigh, nc can I buy this product?

Accepted Answer

Hello Roy.  The Raleigh public library is your best choice.  When you enter proceed to the counter and ask the clerk there for the "personal computer section".   Once you've checked out a computer there proceed to open the browser and type in the address for Amazon.com.   Once in Amazon search for the Hitachi RB24EAP leaf blower, click "buy now" and proceed through the purchase process.   This sir is how you purchase this product in Raleigh, nc.

Question 2

What gas mixture is the best. 50-1?

Accepted Answer

I actually work on this stuff for a living, and the guys recommending 32:1 or 40:1 are DEAD wrong. Here is why. The modern oils are so good, that 50:1 is all you need. Also, the rings and cylinder walls have high nickel content, which makes them extremely durable.  When people run more oil than required, it causes carbon buildup. Carbon is extremely hard. It gets built up around the piston rings, and scores the cylinders. Basically, by adding more oil, thinking they are improving the life of their equipment, they are doing the opposite. The carbon buildup tears up the cylinder wall, and you start losing compression. Do NOT run anything by 50:1 in these engines.  I've torn these engines down with huge numbers of hours, and the ones that are ran on 50:1 oil always look in much better shape than the morons that run 32:1. This recommendation applies to weed whips and blowers. Does not apply to 2 stroke dirt bikes, which tend to benefit from a higher ration of oil.

Question 3

what is the differance between the tanaka and hitachi hand held blowers ?

Accepted Answer

I believe the Hitachi is made by Tanaka. Difference would be color and name. Both have the same specs and warranty.

Question 4

What is the diameter of the pink fuel line (for primer bulb) and the black fuel line?

Accepted Answer

The translucent return line from the primer bulb to the tank has an inner diameter of 3/32 inch (2.4mm) and an outer diameter of 5/32 (4mm). I had on hand a generic fuel line package (Arnold brand) with two translucent lines. Smaller line ID 1/16 in. (1.6mm) OD 1/8 in. (3.2mm). Larger line ID 3/32 in. (2.4mm) OD 3/16 in. (4.8mm). The larger line fit on the nipple of the primer bulb but was too wide to force back into the grommet on the tank. The smaller line could squeeze into the tank grommet but was too small to fit onto the nipple. I was however able to take about 2.5 in. (5cm) of the smaller line squeeze it into a 3/4 in. (2cm) piece of the larger line after dipping the end into ATF fluid to lube it (I would have used 2-stroke oil but couldn't find my bottle). I cut the ends of the smaller line at an angle to help it go into the grommet on one end and the larger line on the other. I lubed both ends of the smaller line as well as the nipple. The smaller line going into the grommet did require some effort even though the original line was 1/32 in wider so I hope the seal is good enough. I had to remove the part of the carb that holds the filter (two phillips head screws) while keeping the "hidden" 3rd line attached to be able to have some room to work the larger line onto the nipple.I'm not sure about the black fuel line (that draws gasoline through a small cylindrical filter in the gas tank to the back part of the carb) as I did not need to replace mine nor it's grommet. But I can tell it is very flexible and feels more rubbery than plastic-like so I think it must have a very thin wall with the ID being much closer to the OD than the translucent line.
