What to do if my Makita RBC414U engine stops soon after starting?
- J
  Jesus FoxAug 22, 2025
  If your Makita Brush Cutter engine stops shortly after starting or the engine speed doesn't increase, it might not be sufficiently warmed up, so perform a warm-up operation. Check that the choke lever is set to “OPEN” if the engine is warmed up. Also, a clogged fuel filter or a contaminated air cleaner can cause this issue, so clean them. If these steps don't resolve the problem, the carburetor or drive system may be abnormal, and you should request inspection and maintenance.

  If the cutter blade on your Makita Brush Cutter isn't rotating, first check if the cutter blade-tightening nut is loose and tighten it securely. Also, inspect the cutter blade and dispersion-preventing cover for any caught twigs or foreign matter and remove them. If the issue persists, there may be an abnormal drive system, requiring professional inspection and maintenance.

  Andrew HoffmanAug 28, 2025
  Abnormal vibration in your Makita Brush Cutter can be due to several reasons. Inspect the cutter blade for breaks, bends, or wear, and replace it if necessary. Ensure the cutter blade-tightening nut is securely tightened. Also, check the convex part of the cutter blade and cutter blade support fitting to ensure they are securely attached. If the vibration continues, the drive system may be abnormal and require professional inspection and maintenance.

  If the cutter blade on your Makita Brush Cutter doesn't stop immediately, it could be due to high idling rotation, so adjust it. Also, check if the throttle wire is detached and attach it securely. If the problem persists, the drive system may be abnormal, requiring professional inspection and maintenance.

  Jeffrey VazquezNov 15, 2025
  If your Makita Brush Cutter's engine isn't starting, there could be several reasons. First, ensure the I-O switch is set to OPERATION. Operate the primer pump by pushing it 7 to 10 times. Pull the starter rope strongly. Check if there is fuel in the tank and that the fuel filter isn't clogged. Also, make sure the fuel tube isn't bent and that the fuel isn't deteriorated (replace if needed, recommended every month). Ensure the plug cap is securely attached and the spark plug is clean with correct clearance. If there's excessive fuel suction, set the throttle lever from medium to high speed, and pull the starter handle until the engine starts. If the engine still won't start, remove the spark plug, dry the electrode, reassemble, and try again. If problems persist, the carburetor, drive syste...

  Several factors can prevent your Makita Brush Cutter from starting. Ensure the I-O switch is set to OPERATION. Try priming the pump by pushing it 7 to 10 times. A low pulling speed of the starter rope can be the issue, so pull strongly. Check for sufficient fuel, a clean fuel filter, and a straight fuel tube. Deteriorated fuel can also make starting difficult, so replace it with fresh fuel (recommended every month). Also, make sure the plug cap is securely attached and the spark plug is clean with proper clearance. If there's excessive fuel suction, set the throttle lever from medium to high speed and pull the starter handle. If it still won't start, dry the spark plug electrode and reassemble. If none of these steps work, the carburetor, drive system, or starter rope may be abnormal, requ...
