      If your EarthQuake Edger engine won't start, first, ensure the power switch is in the 'on' position. Check that the spark plug wire is securely connected to the spark plug. Refuel if the tank is empty. Clean, replace, or gap the spark plug if it's wet, faulty, or improperly gapped. Hold the throttle control open while pulling the recoil handle. Finally, make sure the fuel line hose is positioned at the bottom of the gas tank.
