Why is my Shindaiwa T344 Trimmer engine hard to start?
- OOmar ZimmermanJul 29, 2025
Your Shindaiwa Trimmer engine might be hard to start due to several reasons: * The engine is hot and heat soaked, let it cool completely before restarting. * Low fuel quality, so refill with fresh, clean unleaded gasoline with a pump octane of 89 or higher mixed with an air cooled engine oil that meets or exceeds ISO-L-EGD and/or JASO FD classifi ed oils at 50:1 gasoline/oil ratio. * Valve clearance too tight or too loose, in this case you should consult with an authorized Shindaiwa servicing dealer to adjust the valves.
