Why does my Makita Trimmer engine not start?

  If your Makita Trimmer engine won't start, it could be due to several reasons. You may need to push the primer pump 7 to 10 times, pull the starter rope more strongly, or add fuel if it's lacking. Other potential causes include a clogged fuel filter (clean it), a broken fuel tube (straighten it), or deteriorated fuel (replace it, ideally monthly). If there's excessive fuel suction, set the throttle lever from medium to high speed and pull the starter handle until the engine starts. Also, check if the plug cap is detached (attach it securely), the spark plug is contaminated (clean it), or the spark plug clearance is abnormal (adjust it) or the spark plug is damaged (replace it). For carburetor, starter rope, or drive system issues, request an inspection and maintenance service.

  If the cutter blade on your Makita Trimmer doesn't stop immediately, it could be due to high idling rotation (adjust it) or a detached throttle wire (attach it securely). For drive system issues, request an inspection and maintenance service.

What to do if my Makita EBH250U Trimmer engine stops soon after starting?

  If your Makita Trimmer engine stops shortly after starting, it might not be sufficiently warmed up, so perform a warm-up operation. Also, ensure the choke lever is set to “OPEN” after the engine warms up. Other potential causes include a clogged fuel filter (clean it) or a contaminated or clogged air cleaner (clean it). For carburetor or drive system issues, request an inspection and maintenance service.

  Abnormal vibration in your Makita Trimmer can stem from a few issues. Check for a broken, bent, or worn cutter blade and replace it if necessary. Also, make sure the cutter blade-tightening nut is securely tightened and that the convex part of the cutter blade and cutter blade support fitting are properly attached. For drive system issues, request an inspection and maintenance service.
