At 100 it may run. 125 or so seems to be better.

I have had worn rings that showed 120psi pulled over easy but ran pretty good.  Below that I dont know. Never had one run below 120 that I can remember that would start and run.

Somewhere close to 100# is lowest. I've had em start and run @ 95# today won't start tomorrow.  @ 115# or so I pull the cyl.

If it runs at 100, it is only a matter of a short time before it goes below 100 so I tear them apart right then. IMHO Most will run at 100 (how well is another question), @120 they will run pretty good, @ 140-150 they will run well.

Blowers are a horse of a different color just like weed wackers .They sit more than they get ran unless you own a lawn care business .Most times the carbs get funky from inactivity and old stale gas .Very seldom with either one do they get worn out .

I recently was given a weedeater brand blower used by a local business every week to clear the p-lot. it was wore out, it met its demise like I previously mentioned. when it ran it beat the rake, when it didn't it got beat!
