Why does my Sanborn Trimmer engine smoke or run rough?
- MMelissa MooreAug 15, 2025
If your Sanborn Trimmer experiences engine problems such as excessive smoke, rough running, erratic behavior, or inability to maintain full speed, consider these potential causes: 1. There may be no engine oil; add engine oil. 2. The engine oil level might be incorrect; check and adjust as necessary. 3. The spark plug could be fouled; inspect and replace if needed. 4. The air filter might be clogged; remove and clean it. 5. The fuel filter might be clogged; inspect and replace if needed. 6. The carburetor might be out of adjustment; take the unit to an authorized service center for adjustment. 7. The fuel might be contaminated; drain the tank, clean it, and refill with fresh fuel.
