Why won't my Makita PLM4632 start?

  Your Makita Lawn Mower might not start due to several reasons. The throttle choke may not be in the correct position, so try adjusting it. The fuel tank could be empty, requiring a refill. A dirty air cleaner element can also prevent starting, so clean it. Other potential causes include a loose spark plug (tighten to 25-30 Nm), a disconnected spark plug wire (reinstall it), an incorrect spark plug gap (set it to 0.7 to 0.8 mm), or a defective spark plug (replace it). If the carburetor is flooded, remove the air cleaner element and pull the starter rope until it clears. Finally, a faulty ignition module could be the issue, in which case you should contact a service agent.

  If your Makita Lawn Mower engine is difficult to start or loses power, consider these possibilities: the fuel tank may contain dirt, water, or stale fuel, so drain the fuel, clean the tank, and refill with fresh fuel. The vent hole in the fuel tank cap could be plugged, so clean or replace the cap. Also, a dirty air cleaner element can cause these issues, so clean it.

  If your Makita Lawn Mower engine is overheating, it could be due to restricted cooling airflow. Remove any debris from the slots in the shroud, blower housing, and air passages. Another cause might be an incorrect spark plug. For models PLM4630/PLM4631, install an RJ19LMC spark plug and cooling fins on the engine. For models PLM4632/PLM5130, install a QC12YC spark plug and cooling fins on the engine.

  An erratic engine operation in your Makita Lawn Mower can stem from a few issues. The spark plug might be defective, requiring replacement with a correctly gapped plug. An incorrect spark plug gap (should be 0.7 to 0.8 mm) can also cause this. Lastly, a dirty air cleaner element could be the culprit, so ensure it is cleaned.
