  If your North Star Power Tool's engine runs but there's no vibration, several factors could be at play. First, ensure the engine throttle is fully opened and the accelerator lever is turned fully clockwise. Also, the V-belt or drive belt might be loose, worn, or broken, requiring adjustment or replacement. Finally, inspect the clutch for damage and replace if necessary.

Why is my North Star Power Tool compactor not developing full speed?

  If your North Star Power Tool compactor isn't reaching full speed, several issues could be the cause. Ensure the engine throttle is fully open and correctly adjusted. If the ground is too wet, allow it to dry before compacting. Check the drive belt for looseness or wear, adjusting or replacing it as needed, and ensure the engine mounting bolts are tightened. Inspect the vibrator housing oil level and condition, adding or changing the oil if necessary. Clean or replace a clogged air filter. If the engine speed is too low, use a tachometer to check and adjust/repair the engine to run at the correct speed.

  If the North Star Power Tool plate jumps or compacts unevenly, it could be due to a ground surface that is too hard. Another potential cause is a loosened or damaged rubber isolator, which would need adjustment or replacement.
