This is a genuine OEM replacement part, it is sold individually. It is used on a variety of Gas Powered Equipment. The purpose of this part is to mix air and gas before the fuel mix goes to the engine. If the engine won't start and the tank is full of fresh fuel, test the carburetor by removing the air filter and pouring about a teaspoon of fuel into the carburetor. Pull the starter rope. If the engine starts and then quickly dies, the carburetor is likely the problem.

One other major issue I had with this blower was something I found on a YouTube video. One of the engine assembly bolts had backed out and was allowing the compression to blow out through the crack created by this loose bolt. There are two bolts but only one was loose. Very easy repair. Just had to remove the plastic engine cover to expose this area where the loose bolt was located.
Unit was stored for two yeas with the wrong type of fuel. Melted plastic parts + dirt in fuel tank.
