Why is my Shindaiwa Trimmer engine hard to start?
- MMike CohenAug 11, 2025
If your Shindaiwa Trimmer engine is hard to start, several factors could be the cause. The fuel strainer or fuel line might be obstructed, requiring cleaning or replacement. The fuel mixture might be too rich, so open the choke and clean or replace the air filter, and adjust the carburetor. The spark plug might have an incorrect gap, be covered with carbon, fouled with fuel, or be defective; in this case, adjust the gap to 0.65mm (0.026 in.) or clean/replace the plug. Also, ensure the stop switch is turned ON.
