What to do if Ariens Trimmer engine will not start?
- MMeagan PotterAug 9, 2025
If your Ariens Trimmer's engine won't start, there are several potential causes. First, ensure the spark plug wire is connected and that the engine is primed. Check that the fuel tank isn't empty and that the throttle control lever is in the correct position. If the engine is flooded, wait a few minutes before restarting. Also, inspect the spark plug for defects or incorrect gapping, and replace or regap if needed. Old or contaminated gasoline can also be the culprit, so drain the tank and refill with fresh gasoline. Finally, ensure the engine cooling system isn't overloaded with debris by cleaning the debris screen and cooling fins.
