Solution

No spark.

No fuel.

Starter  rope  pulls  harder  now  than 
when new.

Check spark. Remove spark plug. Re-
attach 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 test with 
a new spark plug.
Push  primer  bulb  until  bulb  is  full  of 
fuel. If bulb does not fill, primary fuel 
delivery  system  is  blocked.  Contact 
a servicing dealer. If primer bulb fills, 
engine  may  be  flooded,  proceed  to 
next item.
Remove  spark  plug,  turn  trimmer  so 
spark plug hole is aimed at the ground. 
Rotate the choke dial to “RUN” posi-
tion  and  pull  starter  cord  10  to  15 
times. This will clear excess fuel from 
engine. Clean and reinstall spark plug. 
Pull starter three times with choke dial 
at  “RUN”.  If  engine  does  not  start, 
rotate  choke  dial  to  “FULL  CHOKE” 
position  and  repeat  normal  starting 
procedure. If engine still fails to start, 
repeat  procedure  with  a  new  spark 
plug.
Contact a servicing dealer.

minutes to warm up.

Allow engine to completely warm up. If 
engine does not accelerate after three 
minutes, contact a servicing dealer.

speed at half choke.

Contact a servicing dealer.

Use fresh fuel and the correct 2-cycle 
lubricant mix.
Clean  air  filter.  Refer  to 

Cleaning 

the  Air  Filter  Screen  earlier  in  this 
manual.
Contact a servicing dealer.
