What to do when the blade won't spin on your Troy-Bilt lawn edger

• Check the blade belt for damage or wear. Replace the blade belt if it doesn't spin the blade pulley when you engage the blade control lever.
• Check the blade bearings in the quill assembly. Replace the bearings or the quill assembly if you can't manually rotate the blade pulley to spin the edger blade (with the edger engine shut off)
• Check the engine crankshaft pulley for damage. Replace the engine crankshaft pulley or shaft key if the crank shaft pulley spins freely on the crankshaft with the engine shut off.

Troubleshooting your Troy-Bilt lawn edger when its engine won't stay running

Fuel system problems often cause the engine to stall, so you'll need to rebuild or replace the carburetor if it won't stay running. Add fuel stabilizer to the gas tank and your gas can to keep the fuel fresh. Gasoline can go stale after about 6 months.

Some engines stall if the gas cap vent gets clogged. Check your edger's gas cap and clear the vent if it has one. Replace the gas cap if you can't clear vent clogs.

Tuning up the lawn edger's engine may also help keep the engine running as you're edging sidewalks and driveways. Replace the engine oil, spark plug and air filter regularly to keep the engine running smoothly.
