Troubleshooting your Homelite 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.

Replacing the spark plug in your Homelite lawn edger's engine

  • When the engine is cool, disconnect the spark plug wire from the spark plug.
  • Use a spark plug wrench to loosen and remove the spark plug.
  • Use a spark plug gap tool to set the gap between the center electrode and the ground electrode. The gap specifications for your model are in the owners manual.
  • Thread the spark plug into the engine. Then tighten the spark plug with a spark plug wrench.
  • Reconnect the spark plug wire and start the edger to make sure it runs.
