how can I fix my performance HG18 petrol hedge trimmer?

I have replaced the spark plug and checked to see that fuel is flowing it looks as they there may not be a spark or the fuel is not getting through.

Hi Kevin.

If there is no spark at plug,and perhaps you have tried a new one then suspect the ignition coil, a new one could set you back £40 or so.Perhaps you should consider purchasing a new and more powerfull machine.

may be more than 1 problem take the plug out and put a small drop of petrol in the hole then replace the plug if it runs 4 a bit you no its not the spark if it runs inside the tank there is a filter its probaley blockt clean it out with petrol hope it helps
