What an edger service actually involves
Edgers cop a hammering. Concrete, limestone, the odd reticulation pipe. Most of them come in with two or three issues at once, not just a blunt blade. Here's what we go through:
Blade inspection & replacement
Edger blades wear fast on Perth's limestone driveways. We check the edge, the mounting, and replace if it's chipped or under spec.
Shaft & bearing service
Sand and grass clippings get into the shaft over time. We strip it, clean the bearings, regrease, and check for play.
Drive belt replacement
Belt-driven edgers stretch and slip. If yours is slow to spin up or screeching on startup, the belt's the usual culprit.
Carburettor clean & rebuild
Two-stroke edgers sitting over winter gum up fast. We strip the carby, clean the jets, and replace gaskets and diaphragms as needed.
Fuel system service
Old fuel, blocked filters, perished lines. Cheap to fix, but it's why most edgers won't start after a long break.
Full diagnostic & tune
Spark, compression, ignition timing, idle, throttle response. Same diagnostic process we've used for 50 years.
A note for Kingsway edger owners
Kingsway is part of Perth's growing northern fringe with newer estates and larger family properties. Plenty of established edging on these blocks and most owners use their edgers regularly through the warmer months.
What we see from Kingsway is mostly newer edgers that just need their first service. Catching them at this age is ideal. Small problems get sorted, the rest of the edger gets a clean inspection, and you're set for years.

If it's a petrol, electric or battery edger and it's broken, we can have a look. Doesn't matter where you bought it.
When the primer bulb won't stay full
Press the primer bulb three or four times before starting. Most edgers have one. When it stops working, your edger gets harder to start every time you use it.
The primer bulb's job is dead simple. It pumps fuel from the tank into the carburettor before you pull the cord, so you've got fresh fuel ready to fire instead of having to crank the engine until it draws fuel through. It's a soft rubber dome with a small valve inside.
When the bulb is working right, you press it 3 or 4 times and it stays nice and firm with fuel inside. When it's failing, one of three things happens:
- Bulb stays soft no matter how many times you press it. The check valve inside is letting fuel drain back to the tank. Bulb needs replacing.
- Bulb has a crack and fuel leaks out. Easy to spot because the bulb looks split, or you've got a wet patch underneath. Bulb needs replacing.
- Bulb has gone hard like a marble and won't compress. Old age or fuel attack. Bulb needs replacing.
Spot a theme there? When the primer bulb fails, replacement is the only fix. Good news is they're cheap. 5 to 12 dollars depending on the model. Fitting takes 5 minutes once you've got the right one.
One thing to watch: when you fit a new bulb, make sure the small fuel lines that connect to it are also good. If those lines have cracked, the new bulb won't seal properly. Replace them at the same time. Costs another couple of bucks and saves you doing the whole job twice.
And while you're in there, give the carby a good look over. If the bulb has been failing for a while, you've probably been over-priming and flooding the engine, which dumps extra fuel into the carby and washes the lubrication off the piston. Worth a service if it's been bad for months.

Common questions
Do you really pick up from Kingsway for free?
Yep. Saturday pickup, Sunday delivery, no charge. We've been running this through Kingsway and the rest of Perth for years.
How much does an edger service cost?
It depends on what's wrong with it and what brand you've got. Once we've had a proper look on the bench, we ring you with a fixed price before we do any work. No charging by the hour, no surprises.
My edger won't start. Is it worth fixing?
Almost always yes. Most "won't start" jobs come down to old fuel, a gummed-up carby, or a tired spark plug. None of those are expensive fixes. We'll have a look and tell you straight if it's not worth it.
How often should I service my edger?
Once a year for most home edgers. If you're a tradie running it daily, twice a year. Sand, salt, and dust are hard on bearings.
Do you service electric and battery edgers too?
We do. Battery edgers don't have carbies to worry about, but the shaft, blade, drive system and electronics all wear and we can service the lot. EGO Power+, Stihl battery, Honda battery, all good.
How long does it take?
Usually back to you within a week. Picked up Saturday, delivered the following Sunday at the latest. If parts have to come in, we'll let you know.
