Hi, There are 3 things that you need for the motor to start.
1) Fuel 2) Air 3) Spark. Check all 3 and it should run. Good luck.

SOURCE: Looking for owners Manual for Echo HC 1500 Hedge

Go to this web site http://www.echo-usa.com/ and on the right hand side of the page click "TECHNICAL DOCUMENTS"

Then when the next page comes up type "HC-1500" and click search.
Now this is important: You have to keep track of your serial number, your model number and
your engine type.
Even when your looking for parts such as the ignition coil keep track of your serial number.

When you pull the side bar down you'll find the different manuals you can copy. I hope this helped.

SOURCE: Echo SHC-212 hedge trimmer starts and runs briefly

If it has not had a service recently, it's probably due by now.
Just take out the spark plug, and if it's black, or 'coked' up, just show it a wire brush.
Also, remove the air filter, and if you have one, show that, a compressor. (or alternatively, just bang it about a bit, till all the loose debris, and collective build-up, are removed.
Afterwards, (if that doesn't solve the problem),
you can adjust the timing, quite simply, by closing, or opening, the gap on the plug.
Or you can open or close the space between the contact, and the magneto.
Both can be very 'effective' means of adjusting the timing.
If problems still persist,
you know who to ask.
P.s. and don't forget to give the thumbs up ;)

SOURCE: I need coil and spark plug gap settings for echo

0.026 inch, or 6-8 mm is the plug gap.

The ignition coil air gap range is 0.012 - .016"" or .3 - .4 mm. This is the gap between the flywheel and the ignition coil.

An easy way to gap your coil is use a normal business card between the coil and flywheel, tighten the screws and remove the card.

SOURCE: Remington Axcess hedge trimmer wont run at all.

Check your fuel lines. It is probably getting air into the system. Also check inside the gas tank to make sure the fuel pick up line is still attached.


If you need more assistance please provide an exact model number and I can better help you.

Have no spark on my Echo HC-1500 hedge trimmer. Have replaced coil with new but still no spark. Have also by passed kill switch still no spark. What else can I try

Hi, have you tried a new sparkplug? Also did you set the coil to magnet airgap at 8 thou? Also when you say you by passed the kill switch did you do this by leaving the wire off the coil? Because if you did it at the switch end the wire from the coil may be chafed somewhere and earthing the coil. Hope this helps, regards Phil.

My husqvarna hedge trimmer wont start after being in shed for 2 years cleaned spark plug and filter put new fuel in and still nothing how do i set the jets

Small engine carburators are prone to clogging.
remove the carb and disassemble it placeing the body parts in a jar of clean fresh gasoline.
let them soak for a good 15 minutes them remove and dry and low out the ports with compressed air ( canned air will work) then reassemble

Will not start. No spark at spark plug. Gas OK.

Hi, if there is no spark, there may be a break in the kill switch wiring. Make sure that nothing is cut or frayed along the length of the wire and of course, make sure that the switch is on and not loose. The magneto could also be the problem.

My Echo 20 inch h.c. starts but only runs for a few seconds at a time. have tried 2 other carburetors they all do the same

I had the same problem with mine. I found that the spark arrestor screen in the muffler was clogged with carbon. A new screen for about $2. solved the problem.
