How to fix Brush Master CH2 Chipper when engine fails to start?

  Katherine MoralesJul 29, 2025
  If your Brush Master Chipper engine won't start, several factors could be the cause. First, ensure the spark plug wire is securely connected. Next, check that the fuel tank isn't empty or filled with stale fuel; if so, replenish it with clean, fresh gasoline. If equipped, verify the throttle control lever is in the FAST position and the choke is in the CHOKE position. Additionally, the engine may need priming. A blocked fuel line or a faulty spark plug could also be culprits, so inspect and clean the fuel line, and clean, adjust the gap, or replace the spark plug as necessary. Finally, check the oil level and fill if low.

Why does my Brush Master CH2 engine run erratic?

  If your Brush Master Chipper engine is running erratically, start by checking the spark plug wire to ensure it's connected and tightened properly. If equipped, make sure the choke lever is in the OFF position. A blocked fuel line or stale fuel could also be the issue; try cleaning the fuel line and filling the tank with fresh gasoline. Additionally, check for water or dirt in the fuel system and drain/refill if necessary. A dirty air cleaner can also cause erratic running, so clean or replace it. If these steps don't resolve the issue, the carburetor may be out of adjustment, and you should consult an authorized service dealer.

  If your Brush Master Chipper engine overheats, first check the engine oil level and fill the crankcase with the proper oil if it's low. A dirty air cleaner can also cause overheating, so clean or replace it. If the problem persists, the carburetor may not be adjusted properly, and you should seek assistance from an authorized service dealer.

Why my Brush Master Chipper does not discharge?
- A
  Amanda WilliamsAug 11, 2025
  If your Brush Master Chipper isn't discharging, the discharge chute may be clogged. Immediately stop the engine, disconnect the spark plug wire, and clean the flail screen and inside of the discharge opening. Also, a foreign object might be lodged in the impeller; stop the engine, disconnect the spark plug wire, and remove any lodged objects. Ensure the engine is running at full throttle, as low RPM can also prevent discharge.
