How to fix a Makita Blower that won't start?
- JJay HermanAug 25, 2025
If your Makita Blower engine won't start, several factors could be at play. First, ensure you've primed the pump by pushing it 7 to 10 times. A low pulling speed of the starter rope can also prevent starting, so pull strongly. Check for a lack of fuel and replenish if needed. A clogged fuel filter can be cleaned or replaced. Bent fuel tubes should be straightened. If the fuel is old (more than a month), replace it. For excessive fuel suction, adjust the throttle lever from medium to high speed and try starting. Also, ensure the plug cap is securely attached and the spark plug is clean and properly gapped, replacing it if necessary. If none of these steps work, there may be an issue with the carburetor, starter knob, or internal engine parts, requiring professional inspection.
