Why is my Shindaiwa EB600RT engine cranking but hard to start?
- AAlexander LoweAug 18, 2025
If your Shindaiwa Blower engine cranks but struggles to start, several factors could be at play. It could be due to a clogged fuel strainer or fuel line, or issues with the carburetor. Try cleaning or replacing the fuel strainer or fuel line. Also, a fuel mixture that's too rich could be the culprit, so open the choke and clean or replace the air filter. If there's no spark, ensure the switch is turned ON. Lastly, check the spark plug: if the spark gap is incorrect, adjust it to 0.65mm (0.026 in.). Clean or replace the plug if it's covered with carbon or fouled with fuel, or replace the plug if it is defective.
