Hey everyone,
I’ve been running into a few problems with my compactor lately and could use some advice. Sometimes it just won’t start even after multiple tries, and other times the vibration feels really weak or inconsistent. Has anyone dealt with these issues before? What are the common causes, and are there any quick fixes I should try before calling in a mechanic? Would love to hear your troubleshooting tips or any warning signs to watch out for!
 
Hey Jack,

I’ve run into both those issues before! For the no-start problem, check the spark plug and fuel filter, sometimes it’s just a gunked-up carb or a loose connection. Weak vibration can be from worn isolators or a loose exciter bolt its worth giving everything a good once-over before calling in the pros.
