Why does my Makita Trimmer engine stop soon after starting?
- CCraig CooperAug 21, 2025
If your Makita Trimmer engine stops soon after starting, it might not be warmed up properly; perform the warm-up operation. Also, ensure the choke lever is set to “OPEN” once the engine is warm. Check and clean the fuel filter and air cleaner for any clogs or contamination. If the problem continues, the carburetor or drive system may be abnormal, requiring professional inspection and maintenance.
