  If your Tanaka Trimmer engine starts but cuts out straightaway, consider these possibilities: * The fuel tank may be empty or the fuel level is low. In that case, fill the fuel tank with the correct fuel mix (25:1-50:1). * The fuel tank may contain old fuel. Replace it with new fuel. * The choke lever may be in the START position. Set the choke lever to the RUN position. * Air may have gotten into the fuel system. Reconnect the fuel pipe or joint. * There may be an ignition failure. Replace with a new spark plug.
