  If your Husqvarna Brush Cutter is difficult to start, several factors could be the cause. It might be due to a blocked fuel filter, which requires checking and replacement. Another cause could be a blocked fuel hose, inspect and clear it to resolve the issue. Air in the fuel ducts can also cause starting problems, so remove any air present.
