Why won't my Stanley SXPG42601 Trimmer start?
- K
  Kenneth RodriguezAug 1, 2025
  There are several reasons why your Stanley Trimmer engine might not start: * **No spark:** Check for a spark by removing the spark plug, reattaching the cap, and laying it on the metal cylinder. Pull the starter rope and look for a spark at the tip. If there's no spark, try again with a new spark plug. * **No fuel:** Push the primer bulb until it's full. If it doesn't fill, the fuel delivery system may be blocked. * **Engine flooded:** Set the choke lever to the FULL CHOKE position, squeeze the trigger, and repeatedly pull the rope until the engine starts. This may require numerous pulls.

  If the line on your Stanley Trimmer isn't advancing, here are a few possible solutions: * **Line welded to itself:** Lubricate the line with silicone spray. * **Not enough line on spool:** Install a new spool. * **Line worn too short:** Pull the lines while alternately pressing down on and releasing the spool retainer. * **Line tangled:** Remove the line from the spool and rewind it. * **Engine speed too slow:** Advance the line at full throttle.

  If your Stanley Trimmer is emitting too much smoke, it's likely due to too much oil in the crankcase. Drain the oil and refill it with the correct amount of 10W30 engine lubricant.

What to do if my Stanley SXPG42601 starts, runs, and accelerates but won't idle?

  Thomas WatsonAug 22, 2025
  If your Stanley Trimmer starts, runs, and accelerates but won't idle, the idle speed screw on the carburettor likely needs adjustment. Turn the idle speed screw clockwise to increase the idle speed.

Why is the spool retainer on my Stanley Trimmer hard to turn?
- A
  Anna LeeAug 27, 2025
  If the spool retainer on your Stanley Trimmer is hard to turn, the screw threads may be dirty or damaged. Clean the threads and lubricate them with grease. If this doesn't improve the issue, replace the spool retainer.
