What to do if Shindaiwa T220 Trimmer engine does not start?
If your Shindaiwa Trimmer engine won't start, begin by ensuring the ignition switch is in the START (ON) position.

Inspect the spark plug; if loose, tighten it. If the plug is fouled or improperly gapped, clean and regap it to 0.6 ~ 0.7 mm. Replace the plug with an NGK BPMR6A if it's damaged or the wrong size.
