      Your Echo Trimmer might be hard to start or not start at all due to several reasons: * The fuel strainer or fuel line could be obstructed. Suggested solution: clean or replace it. If the problem persists, consult your dealer. * The fuel mixture might be too rich. Suggested solution: Open the choke, clean or replace the air filter, adjust the carburetor. If the problem persists, consult your dealer. * The stop switch might be OFF, or there could be an electrical or inter-lock switch problem. Suggested solution: Turn the switch to ON, or consult your dealer. * The spark plug might have an incorrect gap, be covered with carbon, fouled with fuel, or be defective. Suggested solution: Adjust the gap to 0.65mm (0.026 in.) or clean or replace the plug.
