Why Do I Get Shocked When I'm Running My Poulan Bvm 200?

When running my leaf blower I get a spark shock. Sometimes the spark jumps from my foot through my boot, sometimes from a spark jumping to a shrub through my jeans. It's like some how a charge builds up until there is enough voltage to jump through what would seem to be a non conductor. It happpens 40 50 times in an hour. The spark plug connector boot is in place and in excellent condition. I am wearing leather work gloves. I am only holding the blower handles. I'm baffled. Any solutions?
