How to fix Homelite Trimmer when engine will not start?
If your Homelite Trimmer engine will not start, check the spark plug for a spark. If there is no spark, try a new spark plug. Push the primer bulb until it is full of fuel; if it does not fill, the primary fuel delivery system may be blocked and require professional attention. If the primer bulb fills, the engine may be flooded. Remove the spark plug, turn the trimmer so the spark plug hole is aimed at the ground, rotate the choke dial to the “RUN” position, and pull the starter cord 10 to 15 times to clear excess fuel. Clean and reinstall the spark plug. Pull the starter three times with the choke dial at “RUN”. If the engine does not start, rotate the choke dial to the “FULL CHOKE” position and repeat the normal starting procedure. If the engine still fails to start, repeat the procedure...
