How to troubleshoot Bolens Trimmer engine that will not start?
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.

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).

If these steps don't resolve the issue, the carburetor may need adjustment by an authorized service dealer.
