Why is my Makita RBL250 engine not starting or hard to start?

If your Makita Blower engine isn't starting or is difficult to start, begin by checking the fuel supply and compression system for any faults or mechanical defects. Also, inspect the STOP switch, wiring for faults or short circuits, spark plug or connector, and ignition module. Ensure the choke position is correct. Clean or replace the carburetor if it’s defective, clean the suction head (gas line filter), and check for any bends or interruptions in the fuel supply line. Inspect the cylinder bottom gasket and crankshaft seals for defects. Replace if necessary, and ensure the spark plug is properly sealed. Finally, check the starter spring and internal engine parts for breakage and replace any broken components.
