SOLUTION
The spark plug may be damaged. Remove it and check for dirt
and cracks. Replace with a new spark plug.
Push the primer bulb until bulb is full of fuel. If bulb does not
fill, the primary fuel delivery system is blocked. Contact an
authorised service centre. If the primer bulb fills, the engine
may be flooded. Proceed to the next item.
Ensure on/off switch is set to the off position. Remove the
spark plug from the engine and the spark plug boot. Turn
off the product so that the spark plug hole is aimed at the
ground. Make sure the choke lever is set to
starter cord 10 to 14 times. This clears excess fuel from the
engine. Clean and reinstall the spark plug. With the throttle
trigger fully pressed, pull the starter cord 3 times. If the engine
does not start, set the choke lever to
starting instructions. If the engine still fails to start, repeat the
procedure with a new spark plug.
