Why Makita PLM4110 engine does not start?
- B
  Betty CruzAug 21, 2025
  The engine may fail to start due to several reasons. The throttle chock might not be in the correct position, so adjust it accordingly. The fuel tank could be empty, requiring you to fill it. A dirty air cleaner element can also prevent starting, so clean it. Check if the spark plug is loose and tighten it to 25 - 30 Nm if needed. Ensure the spark plug wire is properly connected. An incorrect spark plug gap (it should be between 0.7 to 0.8 mm) or a defective spark plug could also be the cause, as well as carburetor flooded with fuel. In the latter case, remove the air cleaner element and pull the starter rope until the carburetor clears itself, then reinstall the air cleaner element. If none of these work, there may be a faulty ignition module.

  If your Makita Lawn Mower engine is hard to start or loses power, the issue might stem from dirt, water, or stale fuel in the tank; in this case, drain the fuel and clean the tank, then fill it with clean, fresh fuel. Another potential cause is a plugged vent hole in the fuel tank cap, which you should clean or replace. A dirty air cleaner element can also cause these problems, so make sure to clean it.

How to start a Makita Lawn Mower when the engine won't start?

  Kristina GarciaAug 26, 2025
  If your Makita Lawn Mower engine isn't starting, there are several potential causes. First, ensure the throttle chock is in the correct position. Next, check if the fuel tank is empty and fill it if necessary. Also, inspect the spark plug: tighten it to 25 - 30 Nm if loose, ensure the spark plug wire is correctly installed, and set the gap between the electrodes to 0.7 to 0.8 mm. If the spark plug is defective, it should be replaced. Additionally, a dirty air cleaner element needs cleaning, and a carburetor flooded with fuel requires you to remove the air cleaner element and pull the starter rope until it clears. If none of these work, the ignition module may be faulty, requiring assistance from a Makita authorized service center.

  If your Makita Lawn Mower engine overheats, it could be due to restricted cooling air flow. Remove any debris from the slots in the shroud, blower housing, and air passages. Another cause might be an incorrect spark plug. Install an RJ19LMC spark plug and ensure the cooling fins are on the engine.
