Questions and answers
trimmer doesn't want to start
The Echo GT-200R trimmer may not start due to several possible reasons:
1. Stop Switch – Ensure the stop switch is in the correct position. If faulty, it may need repair or replacement.
2. Fuel Issues – Check if there is fresh, properly mixed fuel in the tank. Stale fuel or incorrect fuel mixture can prevent starting.
3. Spark Plug – A disconnected, dirty, or faulty spark plug can cause starting issues. Inspect, clean, or replace if necessary.
4. Obstructions – Ensure there are no blockages in the air intake, carburetor, or fuel system.
5. Engine Cool-Down – If the unit was recently used, allow it to cool before attempting to restart.
6. Maintenance Needed – Regular maintenance, such as cleaning and tuning, is essential for proper operation.
If troubleshooting does not resolve the issue, taking the trimmer to an authorized ECHO service dealer is recommended.
