  If your Shindaiwa Trimmer engine won't start, several factors could be the reason. First, ensure the fuel is fresh, clean, and properly mixed with a pump octane of 89 or higher and an air-cooled engine oil that meets or exceeds ISO-L-EGD and/or JASO FD classified oils at a 50:1 gasoline/oil ratio. Also, confirm the ignition switch is in the “I” (ON) position. Check the spark plug; if it's fouled or improperly gapped, clean and gap it according to the specifications. If the plug is damaged or the wrong size, replace it. After these steps, try restarting the engine. If the priming pump isn't working correctly or there's a shorted ignition ground, further assistance may be needed.

  If your Shindaiwa Trimmer has low power output, consider these potential causes: Avoid overworking the unit by using a lower throttle setting. Ensure the fuel mixture is correct by refilling with fresh, clean unleaded gasoline (89 octane or higher) mixed with air-cooled engine oil meeting ISO-L-EGD and/or JASO FD standards at a 50:1 ratio. Clean any dirt or damage from the fan, fan cover, and cylinder fins. Service the air cleaner element if it's clogged. Tighten or replace a loose or damaged spark plug, checking the specifications for the correct type and gap. Repair or replace a fuel filter or fuel line if there's air leakage or a clog. Also, make sure there is no water in the fuel.
