CAUSE

SOLUTION

Check Spark. Remove spark plug. Reattach the spark plug cap and 
lay spark plug on metal cylinder. Pull the starter rope and watch for 
spark at spark plug tip. If there is no spark, repeat the test with a new 
spark plug.

Push primer bulb until bulb is full of fuel. If bulb does not fill, the pri-
mary fuel system is blocked. Contact a service dealer. If the primer 
bulb fills, the engine might be flooded. Proceed with the next solution.

ger and pull the starter rope repeatedly until the engine starts and
