Why Echo Lawn and Garden Equipment engine cranks but is hard to start?
- BBrian SmithJul 27, 2025
If your Echo Lawn and Garden Equipment engine cranks but is hard to start, several factors could be at play. It could be due to a clogged fuel strainer or fuel line, or an issue with the carburetor. Try cleaning or replacing these parts. A fuel mixture that's too rich could also be the culprit; in this case, open the choke, clean or replace the air filter, or adjust the carburetor. Also, check the spark plug. If the spark gap is incorrect, adjust it to .65mm (0.026 in.). Clean or replace the plug if it's covered with carbon or fouled with fuel. If the plug is defective, replace it.
