Problem
Possible Cause
Solution
Engine will not start
1. No spark
2. No fuel
3. Flooded engine
4. Starter grip and rope pulls harder
now then when new
1. Remove the spark plug. Reattach the spark
plug cap and lay the spark plug on the metal
cylinder. Pull the starter grip and rope and
watch for a spark at the spark plug tip. If
there is no spark, repeat the test with a new
spark plug.
2. 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.)
3. Remove the spark plug. Turn the product
so that the spark plug hole is aimed at the
ground. Make sure the choke lever is set to
RUN
and pull the starter grip and rope 10
to 14 times. This clears excess fuel from the
engine. Clean and reinstall the spark plug.
With the trigger fully depressed, pull the
starter grip and rope 3 times. If the engine
does not start, set the choke lever to
FULL
and follow normal starting instructions. If the
engine still fails to start, repeat the procedure
with a new spark plug.
4. Contact a qualified service dealer.
