    How to fix Homelite EASY REACH UT20002 Trimmer when engine will not start?
    • V
      Victor HoffmanJul 29, 2025
      If your Homelite Trimmer engine won't start, begin by checking for spark. Remove the spark plug, reattach the cap, and lay the plug against the metal cylinder. Pull the starter rope to look for a spark at the plug tip. No spark? Try again with a new spark plug. Also, ensure the engine is getting fuel by pushing the primer bulb until it fills. If it doesn't fill, the fuel system might be blocked, and you should contact a servicing dealer. Lastly, if the engine is flooded, remove the spark plug and turn the trimmer so the spark plug hole faces the ground to clear excess fuel. Clean and reinstall the plug. Pull the starter three times with the choke at 'RUN'. If it doesn't start, move the choke to 'CHOKE' and try starting again. If problems persist, use a new spark plug.

    Why Homelite EASY REACH UT20002 engine does not reach full speed and emits excessive smoke?
    • L
      Luis BowersAug 4, 2025
      If your Homelite Trimmer engine does not reach full speed and emits excessive smoke, ensure the engine warms up for about three minutes. Also, use fresh fuel and the correct 2-cycle oil mix. A dirty air filter can also cause this issue, so clean it following the instructions in the Maintenance Section.

      If your Homelite Trimmer engine starts but will not idle, the idle speed screw on the carburetor likely needs adjustment. Turn the idle speed screw clockwise to increase the idle speed.

      stephenjohnsonAug 18, 2025
      If the string on your Homelite Trimmer will not advance when using the EZ Line™ tap advance system, the screw threads may be dirty or damaged. Clean the threads and lubricate them with grease. If this doesn't improve the issue, replace the spool retainer.
