  If your McCulloch Trimmer's engine won't start, there are several potential causes. First, the engine might be flooded, so refer to the “Starting Instructions”. Second, the fuel tank could be empty; in this case, refill the tank with the correct fuel mixture. Third, the spark plug may not be firing, which requires installing a new spark plug. Fourth, fuel may not be reaching the carburetor; check for a dirty fuel filter and replace it if necessary, and inspect the fuel line for kinks or splits, repairing or replacing it as needed. Finally, low compression could be the issue.

Fuel may not be reaching the carburetor; inspect the fuel filter for dirt and replace if needed, and check the fuel line for kinks or splits, repairing or replacing it. The spark plug could be fouled, so clean or replace the spark plug and re-gap it. Alternatively, the spark arresting screen could be clogged, in which case you should replace it.

  Excessive smoke from your McCulloch Trimmer engine can be due to several reasons. The choke might be partially on, so adjust it. The fuel mixture could be incorrect; empty the fuel tank and refill it with the correct fuel mixture. Also, a dirty air filter can cause this issue, so clean or replace the air filter.
