What to do if my Echo HCA-265 engine cranks but doesn't start?

  Nancy Rios MDJul 27, 2025
  If your Echo Trimmer engine cranks but doesn't start, the issue might be a clogged fuel strainer or fuel line (clean or replace), fuel mixture that is too rich (open choke, clean or replace air filter, or adjust carburetor), the stop switch being off (turn the switch to ON), an electrical problem or interlock switch issue, or incorrect spark plug gap, carbon buildup, fuel fouling or a defective plug (adjust the gap to .65mm (0.026 in.), clean or replace the plug, or replace the plug).

  If your Echo Trimmer engine runs, but dies or doesn't accelerate properly, the possible causes include a dirty air filter (clean or replace it), contaminants or residues in the fuel (replace the fuel, or clean/replace fuel lines), a dirty or worn spark plug (clean and adjust or replace it), improper carburetor adjustment (adjust it), a dirty or plugged cooling system (clean it), or normal wear (replace worn parts).
