Why my Echo Trimmer cranks, but starts hard or doesn't start?
- EEdward FloresJul 26, 2025
If your Echo Trimmer engine cranks but starts hard or doesn't start at all, it could be due to several reasons. The fuel strainer or fuel line might be clogged (clean or replace them). The fuel mixture might be too rich (open the choke, clean or replace the air filter, adjust the carburetor). There might be no spark (turn the switch to ON). The spark plug gap might be incorrect, covered with carbon, fouled with fuel, or defective (adjust to .65mm (0.026 in.), clean or replace, clean or replace, replace plug). For carburetor-related issues or if the cause is not mentioned, consult your Echo dealer.
