There may be an oil compression lock in the Cylinder. Take out the Spark Plug; hold a rag
over the Spark Plug hole and pull the Recoil Cord several times to blow out any oil in the
Cylinder. Wipe off the Spark Plug and reinstall it.
The Recoil may be broken or jammed. Try to turn the Engine pulley by hand, with the Spark

following the procedure on page 26.
A cold Engine should be primed. Push the Primer Bulb 3 to 5 times, releasing it completely
each time.
You should be using fresh, clean, unleaded gas. If the gas is old, change it. Use a fuel
stabilizer if you keep gas longer than one month.
Check the Fuel Filter (if equipped) to see if it is clear. Place a can under the Fuel Filter and
remove the Fuel Line from the Engine side of the Filter. If gas flows freely, it is OK.
Check that the Air Filter is clean. If it is dirty, change it following the procedure in the
Engine Owner’s Manual.
Check that the Throttle is in the RUN position. Check the Throttle Cable and make sure
that it is attached to the Engine and moving freely.
Make sure that the Spark Plug is clean. If the Spark Plug is dirty or cracked, change it. If
it’s oily, leave it out, hold a rag over the Spark Plug hole and pull the Recoil Cord several
times to blow out any oil in the Cylinder, then wipe off the Spark Plug and reinsert it.
