If your Echo Trimmer engine is hard to start or doesn't start, a possible cause is an obstructed fuel strainer or fuel line. Clean or replace these components to resolve the issue.
Why is my Echo Trimmer engine hard to start?
If your Echo Trimmer engine is hard to start or won't start, here's what might be happening: * The fuel strainer or fuel line could be obstructed. In this case, clean or replace them. * The fuel mixture might be too rich. To solve this, OPEN the choke, clean or replace the air filter, or adjust the carburetor. * The stop switch could be OFF, or there may be an electrical or inter-lock switch problem. Ensure the switch is turned ON. * The spark plug could have an incorrect gap, be covered with carbon, fouled with fuel, or be defective. Adjust the gap to 0.65mm (0.026 in.) or clean/replace the plug.
