What to do if Predator 60622 Lawn and Garden Equipment engine stops suddenly?
- J
  John MortonAug 16, 2025
  If the engine stops suddenly, it could be due to several reasons: the fuel tank is empty or contains impure fuel or an improper fuel mix, the fuel tank cap is defective, causing a vacuum, the idle speed is improper, or there's incorrect timing or a clogged carburetor. Here's what you can do: * Empty the old fuel and fill the tank with a fresh 25:1 ratio of 90+ octane unleaded gasoline and 2-cycle oil mixture. * Test or replace the fuel tank cap. * Properly adjust the idle speed. * If these steps don't work, have a qualified technician diagnose and service the engine.

  Shane ThompsonAug 21, 2025
  An engine misfire can occur due to a loose spark plug wire, an incorrect spark plug gap or a damaged spark plug, a defective spark plug wire, old or low-quality gasoline, or incorrect compression. To address this, check the wire connections, correct the spark plug gap or replace the spark plug, replace the spark plug wire, use fresh 25:1 ratio of 90+ octane unleaded gasoline and 2-cycle oil mixture. If it's a compression issue, diagnose and repair the compression, referring to the 'Engine will not start: COMPRESSION RELATED' section.

  The engine might be knocking because the fuel tank is empty or contains impure, low-quality gasoline or an improper fuel/oil mix, the engine is overloaded, or there's incorrect spark timing, deposit buildup, a worn engine, or other mechanical problems. To address this, empty the old fuel and fill the tank with a fresh 25:1 ratio of 90+ octane unleaded gasoline and 2-cycle oil mixture. Also, do not exceed the equipment’s load rating.

  If the auger rotates while the engine is idling, it's likely because the engine idle speed is set too high. Reset the carburetor Idle Screw to lower the idle (RPM) speed.

  If the engine runs but the bit is not rotating, it could be due to the throttle not being properly used, the throttle cable not being properly adjusted or the bit being stuck in rocks, roots, etc. Make sure to fully squeeze the Throttle. If that doesn't work, have a qualified service technician adjust the Throttle cable. Also, remove the Bit from the hole and clear the hole of obstructions.

Alternatively, it could be ignition-related, like a disconnected spark plug wire, a dirty or wet spark plug, an incorrect spark plug gap, or a broken spark plug or wire. Finally, it could be compression-related, such as a cylinder that isn't lubricated, a loose or broken spark plug, or a loose cylinder head or damaged head gasket.
