  If your Shindaiwa Trimmer engine won't start, several factors could be at play. First, ensure the ignition switch is in the Start position. If the spark plug is wet, there might be too much fuel in the cylinder; remove the plug, crank the engine, reinstall the plug, and try restarting. Also, check the spark plug for fouling, damage, or incorrect size, and clean and regap the plug to 0.6 mm, or replace it. Refill with fresh, clean unleaded gasoline with a pump octane of 89 or higher mixed with a 2-cycle air cooled mixing oil that meets or exceeds ISO-L-EGD and/or JASO FC, FD classified oils at 50:1 gasoline/oil ratio. Check for a clogged fuel filter or vent, and replace as needed. Tighten a loose spark plug and re-test.

  If your Shindaiwa Trimmer's power output is low, consider these possibilities: You might be overworking the unit, so try shortening the trimmer line and cutting at a slower pace. Refill with fresh, clean unleaded gasoline with a pump octane of 89 or higher mixed with a 2-cycle air cooled mixing oil that meets or exceeds ISO-L-EGD and/or JASO FC, FD classified oils at 50:1 gasoline/oil ratio. Also, check if the fan, fan cover, or cylinder fins are dirty or damaged, and clean, repair, or replace them as necessary; carbon deposits on the piston or in the silencer can also cause this issue.

Why is my Shindaiwa T310Xs engine rough at all speeds?

  If your Shindaiwa Trimmer engine runs rough at all speeds, and you notice black smoke or unburned fuel at the exhaust, it could be due to a clogged air cleaner element, which needs to be serviced. Check for a loose or damaged spark plug, and tighten or replace it. Also, inspect for air leakage or a clogged fuel line, repairing or replacing the fuel filter and/or fuel line as needed. Water in the fuel can also cause this; replace the fuel in that case.

  If your Shindaiwa Trimmer engine is difficult to shut off, test and replace the ground (stop) wire if it's disconnected or the switch is defective. If overheating due to an incorrect spark plug is the cause, allow the engine to idle until cool, then clean and regap the plug to 0.6 mm and use the correct plug. If the engine is overheated, simply idle it until it cools down.
