Clear Blockages From the Fuel Line and Filter
After you’ve used your Edger for a few seasons, check for
blockages in the fuel tank and fuel filter. Such blockages
can keep your Edger from starting.
Clear any blockages you see in the tank, fuel filter, or
fuel line. Remember: The fuel filter is located inside the
tank (Picture 1). Then, use the normal starting procedure
to start your Edger.
What To Do If Your Engine Idles Too High
What if your engine runs too fast...or if the blades
turn the instant you start the Edger? You may need
to adjust the idle screw ( Picture 2, or Key #25 under
“Carburetor” on page 28) by itself, right below the H
and L screws. Gently turn it counter-clockwise. You’ll
know you’ve adjusted it correctly when the blade does
not turn at low idle.
If you continue to have idle problems, you may need to
adjust the throttle cable.
First, locate the metal triangle at the end of the throttle
cable (Picture 2). The idle screw must touch this triangle.
But, if the throttle cable’s too tight, you’ll see a gap
between the idle screw and the triangle.
To fix this, loosen the top nut that holds the throttle
cable in place (Picture 3) (Use a 10mm wrench or an
adjustable wrench). Then, slide the cable down until you
close the gap between the triangle and the idle screw
(Picture 4). Now, tighten the bottom nut that holds the
throttle cable.
Locate the metal “button” on the triangle. This is the
swivel. The large end of the throttle cable must be inside
the slot in this swivel (Picture 4).
