What to do if my Stark Power Tool is difficult to start with low compression?
- JJillian BellAug 14, 2025
If your Stark Power Tool is hard to start, and you have fuel, spark, and low compression with no fuel at the carburetor, several issues could be the cause. The suction/exhaust valve might be stuck, or the piston ring and/or cylinder could be worn. Try re-seating the valves, and consider replacing the piston rings or the piston. Also, ensure the cylinder head and spark plug are properly tightened, and replace the head and spark plug gaskets if damaged. Check that there is fuel in the fuel tank, the fuel cock opens properly (lubricate or replace it if needed), the fuel filter isn’t clogged (replace it), the fuel tank cap breather hole isn’t clogged (clean or replace it), and that there is no air in the fuel line (bleed the fuel line).
