      If your Bolens Trimmer engine won't start, there are several potential causes. First, ensure the On/Off control is set to ON. If it is, check the fuel tank and fill it with fresh fuel if empty or old. Also, make sure you press the primer bulb fully and slowly 10 times. A fouled spark plug or a plugged spark arrestor could also be the culprit; try cleaning or replacing them.

      Sandra RamirezAug 3, 2025
      If your Bolens Trimmer engine lacks power or stalls, the issue might be due to old fuel. In this case, drain the gas tank and add fresh fuel. Alternatively, the carburetor may need adjustment, which should be done by an authorized service dealer. A fouled spark plug or a plugged spark arrestor could also cause this; try cleaning or replacing them.

      Dawn WatsonAug 8, 2025
      If the cutting line on your Bolens Trimmer advances uncontrollably, it is likely due to oil, cleaner, or lubricant in the cutting head. Clean and thoroughly dry the cutting head to resolve this issue.

      If your Bolens Trimmer engine won't accelerate, consider these possibilities: old fuel (drain and replace), a dirty air filter (clean or replace), or a plugged spark arrestor (clean or replace). Also, the cutting attachment might be bound with grass, in which case you should stop the engine and clean the attachment. If these steps don't resolve the issue, the carburetor may need adjustment by an authorized service dealer.

      Anna BradleyAug 18, 2025
      If your Bolens Trimmer engine won't idle, it might be due to a plugged air filter, which you should clean or replace. Old fuel can also cause this issue, so drain the gas tank and add fresh fuel. If neither of those solutions works, the carburetor may need adjustment.

    What to do if cutting attachment will not advance on Bolens Trimmer?
    • C
      Christopher WilsonAug 23, 2025
      If the cutting attachment on your Bolens Trimmer won't advance, first stop the engine and clean the cutting attachment if it's bound with grass. Other potential causes include the cutting attachment being out of line (refill with new line), an inner reel bound up (replace the inner reel), a dirty cutting head (clean inner reel and outer spool), line welded (disassemble, remove the welded section and rewind), line twisted when refilled (disassemble and rewind the line), or not enough line exposed (push the bump knob and pull out line until 4 inches (102 mm) of line is outside of the cutting attachment).
