      If your Makita Trimmer's engine won't start, several factors could be the cause. First, ensure the I-O switch is set to OPERATION. Check the fuel level and replenish if necessary. A clogged fuel filter can also prevent starting, so clean it. Inspect the fuel tube for breaks and straighten if needed. If the fuel is old, replace it, as deteriorated fuel makes starting difficult (replace every month). Also, make sure the plug cap is securely attached and the spark plug is clean and properly gapped. If there was excessive suction of fuel, set throttle lever from medium speed to high speed, and pull starter handle until engine starts. Once engine starts, metal blade starts rotating, so pay full attention to metal blade. If engine will not start still, remove spark plug, dry the electrode, and r...

    • C
      Carmen SanchezSep 2, 2025
      The engine of your Makita Brush Cutter might not be starting due to several reasons: the I-O switch is set to STOP (set it to OPERATION); 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 fuel, recommended every month); excessive suction of fuel (set throttle lever from medium speed to high speed, and pull starter handle until engine starts); detached plug cap (attach securely); contaminated spark plug (clean); abnormal clearance of spark plug (adjust clearance); other abnormality of spark plug (replace).
