Why my Bolens Trimmer engine will not start?
- MMatthew HopkinsJul 27, 2025
If your Bolens Trimmer engine won't start, it might be due to several reasons. The fuel tank could be empty, so refill it with properly mixed fuel. You may not have pressed the primer bulb enough; try pressing it 10 times or until fuel is visible. The engine could be flooded; in that case, move the choke lever to Position 3, squeeze the throttle control, and pull the starter rope until the engine starts. Old or improperly mixed fuel can also be the culprit, so drain the tank and add fresh fuel. Lastly, the spark plug might be fouled, requiring a replacement.
