The FUXTEC FX-PS152 strimmer may shake badly when started due to several possible reasons: 1. Worn Moving Elements – Components inside the engine may be worn out, causing imbalance. 2. Weak Ignition Spark – A weak spark from the flywheel or spark plug could lead to irregular engine operation. 3. Incorrect Valve Clearance – If the valve clearance is too large, the engine may run unevenly. 4. Sooty Cylinder Head – A dirty cylinder head can affect combustion, leading to vibrations. 5. Blocked Operating Lines to the Carburetor – Fuel flow issues can cause the engine to run inconsistently. 6. Spark Plug Issues – A faulty or incorrectly gapped spark plug may cause misfiring.
Checking and maintaining these components should help reduce shaking.
