What to do if my Echo Chainsaw engine cranks but doesn't start?
- JJanice CoffeyAug 18, 2025
If your Echo Chainsaw engine cranks but starts hard or doesn’t start, there are several potential causes: * A clogged fuel strainer or fuel line. In this case you should clean or replace them. * A problem with the carburetor. It is suggested to see your Echo dealer. * A fuel mixture that is too rich. You can open the choke, clean or replace the air filter, or adjust the carburetor. Alternatively, consult your Echo dealer. * No spark. Turn the switch to ON. If the problem persists, see your Echo dealer. * Incorrect spark gap, carbon buildup, fuel fouling, or a defective plug. Adjust the spark gap to .65mm (0.026 in.), clean or replace the plug if it’s covered with carbon or fouled with fuel, or replace the plug if defective.
