Why does my Makita Brush Cutter engine stop soon after starting and not reach full speed?

  Brandi RobertsSep 8, 2025
  Your Makita Brush Cutter might be stopping soon after starting, or failing to reach full speed, due to several reasons. Ensure you've warmed up the engine sufficiently. Check that the choke lever is set to “OPEN” after the engine warms up. A clogged fuel filter or a contaminated air cleaner can also cause these issues, so clean them. If these steps don't resolve the problem, the carburetor or drive system may be abnormal.

  Michael MillerAug 23, 2025
  If the engine of your Makita Brush Cutter 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 are pulling the starter rope strongly enough. Verify that there is enough fuel in the tank and that the fuel filter isn't clogged. Inspect the fuel tube for any breaks and straighten it if necessary. Replace deteriorated fuel with fresh fuel, ideally every month. If there's excessive fuel suction, adjust the throttle lever from medium to high speed and pull the starter handle. Also, make sure the plug cap is securely attached and the spark plug is clean and properly gapped. If issues persist, the carburetor or drive system may be abnormal, requiring professional inspection and maintenance.

  If the cutter blade on your Makita Brush Cutter isn't rotating, stop the engine immediately. Ensure the cutter blade-tightening nut is securely tightened. Also, check for any twigs or foreign matter caught by the cutter blade or dispersion-preventing cover and remove them. If the issue persists, there may be an abnormal drive system, and you should request an inspection and maintenance.

  Daniel SteeleAug 27, 2025
  If your Makita Brush Cutter's engine stops soon after starting or the engine speed doesn't increase, it could be due to several reasons. Make sure to perform a proper warm-up operation. Ensure the choke lever is set to the 'OPEN' position once the engine is warmed up. Check and clean the fuel filter if it's clogged. Also, inspect the air cleaner for contamination or clogs and clean it. If these steps don't resolve the issue, the carburetor or drive system may be abnormal, requiring professional inspection and maintenance.

  Tami AndersonAug 27, 2025
  If your Makita Brush Cutter is vibrating abnormally, stop the engine immediately. Check the cutter blade for any damage such as being broken, bent, or worn, and replace it if necessary. Ensure the cutter blade-tightening nut is securely tightened. Verify that the convex part of the cutter blade and cutter blade support fitting are correctly attached. If the vibration continues, there might be an issue with the drive system, requiring professional inspection and maintenance.

How to fix a Makita EBH341U when the blade won't stop immediately?
- L
  Lisa RobinsonAug 29, 2025
  If the cutter blade on your Makita Brush Cutter doesn't stop immediately after you stop the engine, it could be due to high idling rotation, which requires adjustment. Another possible cause is a detached throttle wire, which needs to be securely reattached. If neither of these fixes the issue, the drive system may be abnormal, requiring professional inspection and maintenance.

  If your Makita Brush Cutter's engine isn't starting, there are several potential causes. 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. Make sure the fuel tank isn't empty and that the fuel filter isn't clogged—clean it if it is. Inspect the fuel tube for breaks and straighten it if necessary. If the fuel is old, replace it (recommended every month). If there's excessive fuel suction, set the throttle lever to high speed and pull the starter handle. Also, check that the plug cap is securely attached, the spark plug is clean, and the spark plug clearance is correctly adjusted. If these steps don't work, consider cleaning or replacing the spark plug.
