What to do if my Echo Chainsaw engine cranks but won't start?
- WwtrujilloAug 18, 2025
If your Echo Chainsaw engine cranks but struggles to start or doesn't start at all, several factors could be at play. The fuel strainer or fuel line might be clogged, or there could be an issue with the carburetor. Try cleaning or replacing these components. The fuel mixture might be too rich, so try opening the choke, cleaning or replacing the air filter, and adjusting the carburetor. Check that the stop switch is in the ON position. Inspect the spark gap for incorrect spacing, carbon buildup, or fuel fouling; adjust it to .65mm (0.026 in.), clean, or replace the spark plug. For carburetor issues, stop switch problems, electrical problems, or interlock switch malfunctions, it's best to consult your Echo dealer for assistance.
