How to start Great Circle LCE01 Paper Shredder when the engine won't start?
- M
  Melissa SmithAug 2, 2025
  If the Great Circle Paper Shredder engine won't start, several factors could be at play. Start by ensuring you have fuel. Check that the choke is in the START position and that you're using fresh, unleaded gasoline. Dirty fuel passageways can also be a culprit; try cleaning them with a fuel additive, though heavy deposits may need more thorough cleaning. Also, make sure the spark plug cap is securely connected and that the spark plug isn't fouled. Low engine oil can also prevent starting, so check and add oil if needed. Finally, if the shredder has been in storage, a lack of compression might be the issue; lubricate the cylinder by pouring a tablespoon of oil into the spark plug hole, crank the engine a few times, and then try starting it again.

  If your Great Circle Paper Shredder engine stops suddenly, it might be due to several reasons. First, check if the fuel tank is empty or contains impure or low-quality gasoline; if so, add fresh unleaded gasoline. Another potential cause is low oil level, so ensure the engine oil is filled to the proper level. Also, verify that the spark plug cap is securely connected. If you are processing limbs, and the limb diameter for the side chute is 2"-3" and the length is over 31" long, help the limb feeding by slightly holding it to maintain the rotate speed.

  Black exhaust from your Great Circle Paper Shredder engine usually indicates that the fuel mixture is too rich. This could be due to a dirty air filter, which should be replaced. Alternatively, the choke might be closed; make sure to open it.

  If your Great Circle Paper Shredder's chipping action is slow, or the engine is stalling, consider these points. Ensure the branch diameter isn't exceeding 3 inches. Check that the throttle isn't set too slow and adjust it to increase engine speed. Also, extremely hard or dried-out tree limbs are not suitable for chipping.

  If you notice unusual noise or vibration when chipping material with your Great Circle Paper Shredder, it could be due to several reasons. The rotor might be overloaded with material; allow the unit to clear itself before adding more. Check the hammers for any breaks, bends, or looseness, and tighten or replace them as needed. Also, check if the hammers are frozen in place due to obstructions or debris, and repair or replace them as necessary.
