Why is my Echo Trimmer hard to start?
- AAmanda KingJul 26, 2025
There are several reasons why your Echo Trimmer might be hard to start. It could be due to a clogged fuel strainer or fuel line, which you should clean or replace. Alternatively, the fuel mixture might be too rich; in this case, open the choke, clean or replace the air filter, or adjust the carburetor. Ensure the stop switch is turned to ON. Also check the spark plug gap and adjust it to 0.65mm (0.026in.), or clean/replace the spark plug if it's covered with carbon or fouled with fuel. If the problem persists, it could be an electrical problem, interlock switch issue or carburetor problem, and you should seek assistance from your Echo dealer.
