Spark Plugs. Another common reason your petrol strimmer won`t start could be the spark plug. It is recommended to replace them frequently as a buildup of debris on the electrode may reduce the spark stopping the fuel mixture from igniting.
The most common problem with a strimmer not starting is that there`s a problem with the fuel mix. Double check that you`ve used 40 parts fresh unleaded petrol to 1 part 2-stroke oil (40:1). Check the petrol you`ve used isn`t stale.
If your 2-stroke brushcutter fails to start, the simplest explanation is that there is not enough fuel: in this case you simply need to top it up. A 2-stroke brushcutter engine runs on fuel/oil mixture, which you can buy ready prepared, such as EFCO-Mix Alkilate alkylated mixture in a 5 L can.
Turn on the ignition switch and pull the starting cord quickly. You should see a spark in the plug gap. Since the spark may be faint, it may help to do the test in a dark area. If there is no spark, check for a broken or shorted (bare) lead wire or bad switch.
1. Fill the tank with a pre-mix of fresh unleaded petrol and semi-synthetic 2-stroke oil. 2. Switch the engine ON/OFF switch to ON.
This ensures there is enough fuel into the engine to start the engine. Activate the choke and pull the starter cord until the engine ignites. Once the engine has stopped deactivate the choke and pull the starter cord again until the engine starts.

Strimmer starts and runs but cuts out when at full power
ANSWER : Easiest place to look first would be to see if one of the fuel hoses has split. May be hard to see but that would cause it to **** air instead of fuel. Eventually, the split or hole would become so big that it wouldn’t stay running at all, and probably not even start. If that doesn’t do it, make sure the fuel you have is still good and try running a little Seafoam with the fuel and see if it clears up. After that, I would be looking at carefully cleaning the carburetor which may require dis-assembly as well as new gaskets etc.
