Why does my Echo PE-200 engine crank but not start?
- RRicky BoothJul 26, 2025
If your Echo Edger's engine cranks but struggles to start or doesn't start at all, several factors could be at play. It could be due to a lack of fuel reaching the carburetor, in which case you should clean or replace it. Alternatively, the fuel mixture might be too rich; try opening the choke, cleaning or replacing the air filter, adjusting the carburetor, or consulting your Echo dealer. Another possibility is a lack of spark; ensure the switch is in the ON position and consult your Echo dealer. Also, inspect the spark plug, adjusting it to .65mm (0.026 in.), cleaning or replacing it as necessary.
