What to do if my Shindaiwa DH235 engine does not start or is hard to start?

If your Shindaiwa Trimmer engine is not starting or is hard to start, it could be due to a couple of reasons. If the engine is hot or heat soaked, let it cool completely before attempting to restart it. Also, low fuel quality can cause starting issues. Refill the trimmer with fresh, clean unleaded gasoline with a pump octane of 89 or higher, mixed with a 2-stroke engine oil that meets or exceeds ISO-L-EGD and/or JASO FD classified oils at a 50:1 gasoline/oil ratio.
