What to do when the blade won't spin on your Echo 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.

Fixing your Echo lawn edger when its engine runs rough

When your lawn edger engine cuts out, smokes, idles poorly, vibrates or runs erratically, it could need a good tune-up to replace the spark plug, oil and air filter. Or the problem could be with the lawn edger's fuel system. Rebuild or replace the carburetor if the engine isn't getting a good supply of fuel.

If the engine misfires, backfires, sputters or jerks the starter rope out of your hand when you try to start it, the flywheel key could be broken. A broken flywheel key disrupts the ignition timing because the magnets aren't passing the ignition coil in synchronization with piston movement. Replace the flywheel key if it's damaged or broken.
