  If your Makita Blower's engine stops shortly after starting, several issues could be responsible. Start by ensuring the engine has been properly warmed up by performing a warm-up operation. Check the choke lever position; if the engine is warm, it should be set to “OPEN”. A clogged fuel filter or a contaminated air cleaner can also cause this issue; clean them if necessary. Also, make sure the throttle wire is securely attached. If these steps don't solve the problem, the carburetor or drive system may be faulty, requiring professional inspection and maintenance.

  If your Makita Blowers engine stops soon after starting, it could be due to several reasons. Insufficient warm-up might be the cause, so perform a warm-up operation. Check if the choke lever is set to “CLOSE” even though the engine is warmed up; if so, set it to “OPEN”. Also, a clogged fuel filter or a contaminated/clogged air cleaner can cause this issue, so clean them. Ensure the throttle wire is securely attached. For abnormal carburetor or drive system, it is recommended to request an inspection and maintenance.

  If the Makita Blower engine doesn't start, several factors could be at play. First, ensure you're operating the primer pump correctly by pushing it 7 to 10 times. Check that you're pulling the starter rope strongly enough. Also, make sure the fuel tank isn't empty and the fuel filter isn't clogged; clean it if necessary. Inspect the fuel tube for breaks and straighten it if needed. If the fuel is old (more than a month), replace it. Ensure the plug cap is securely attached and the spark plug isn't contaminated; clean the spark plug if it is. Also, verify that the spark plug clearance is correct and adjust if needed. In case of excessive suction of fuel, set throttle lever from medium speed to high speed, and pull starter handle until engine starts. If engine will not start still, remove sp...

  Several factors could prevent your Makita Blowers engine from starting. It could be due to failure to operate primer pump (push 7 to 10 times), low pulling speed of starter rope (pull strongly), lack of fuel (feed fuel), clogged fuel filter (clean it), broken fuel tube (straighten fuel tube), deteriorated fuel (replace with new one, replacement recommended each month), detached plug cap (attach securely), contaminated spark plug (clean it), or abnormal clearance/other abnormality of spark plug (adjust clearance or replace it). Also, excessive suction of fuel can be a reason. In this case set throttle lever from medium speed to high speed, and pull starter handle until engine starts. If engine will not start still, remove spark plug, make electrode dry, and reassemble them as they originall...
