How to fix your Makita line trimmer when its engine runs rough

If the fuel has been in the tank unused for months, it can pick up moisture and fail to ignite (that's why you should drain the fuel before storing for the winter or add fuel stabilizer to the tank). Replace the fuel with fresh gas if it's old and untreated with stabilizer. You might also need to replace the fuel filter at the same time. Performing preventive maintenance including a line trimmer tune-up will also help the engine run smoothly.

Check the fuel lines for cracks and replace them if necessary. If you still have problems after checking those issues, consider replacing or rebuilding the carburetor.

• Carburetor rebuild kit. The carburetor rebuild kit contains the essential components such as diaphragms, seals and gaskets needed to tear down a carburetor and rebuild it so it works properly.
• Fuel filter. The fuel filter attaches to the end of the fuel line inside the gas tank. It filters particles from the gasoline as it moves from the fuel tank to the carburetor.
• Fuel lines. Fuel lines are made of flexible tubing that carries fuel from the tank to the carburetor and from the primer bulb to the fuel system.
