Why does my Makita EM2651LH Lawn Mower engine stop soon or not increase speed?
- A
  Anthony LongAug 5, 2025
  If your Makita Lawn Mower engine stops shortly after starting or the engine speed doesn't increase, it could be due to several reasons: * **Warm-up:** The engine may not be sufficiently warmed up; perform a warm-up operation. * **Choke lever:** If the engine is warm, the choke lever should be set to “OPEN”. * **Fuel filter:** A clogged fuel filter can cause these issues; clean it. * **Air cleaner:** Check the air cleaner for contamination or clogging and clean it.
