Problem Possible Cause Solution
Engine will not start 1. Set switch to the ON position.
2. Remove the spark plug. Re-attach the spark plug
and lay the spark plug on the metal cylinder. Pull the
starter cord and watch for a spark at the spark plug
tip. If there is no spark, repeat the test with a new
spark plug.
3. Push primer bulb until the bulb is full of fuel. If the
bulb does not fill, the primary fuel delivery system is
blocked. If the primer bulb fills, the engine may be
flooded. (See next item.)
4. Remove the spark plug. Turn the product so that the
spark plug hole is aimed at the ground. Make sure
the choke lever is open and pull the starter cord
10 to 14 times. This clears excess fuel from the
engine. Clean and re-install the spark plug. With the
trigger fully depressed, pull the starter cord 3 times.
If the engine does not start, set the choke lever to
closed and follow normal starting instructions. If the
engine still fails to start, repeat the procedure with a
new spark plug.
