Why my Echo Trimmer engine cranks but won't start?
- AAndrew CoxJul 27, 2025
If your Echo Trimmer engine cranks but is hard to start or doesn't start at all, several factors could be at play: * A clogged fuel strainer or fuel line, or carburetor issues: Clean or replace the affected parts. * Fuel mixture too rich: Open the choke, clean or replace the air filter, or adjust the carburetor. If the problem persists, consult your Echo dealer. * Lack of spark: Ensure the switch is in the ON position. If there's still no spark, seek assistance from your Echo dealer. * Incorrect spark gap, carbon buildup, fuel fouling, or a defective plug: Adjust the spark gap to 0.65mm (0.026 in.), clean or replace the plug.
