  Robert JohnsonAug 16, 2025
  If your Zenoah Brush Cutter engine doesn't start, it could be due to several reasons: * The fuel might be bad. Replace it with normal fuel. * There might be excessive fuel sucking. To resolve this, open the choke and the throttle fully, then repeatedly pull the rope. * The muffler exhaust vent could be clogged. Clean the muffler. * The spark plug electrodes might be contaminated, or there could be a short-circuit or broken wire. Clean the electrodes or replace the spark plug.

  Dr. Ashley Swanson DDSSep 2, 2025
  Increased fuel consumption in your Zenoah Brush Cutter can be attributed to several reasons. A clogged air cleaner restricts airflow, so cleaning it is recommended. A blunt blade requires more power, so consider replacing it. Also, inadequate lubrication of the flexible shaft increases friction; apply grease to resolve this.
