TROUBLESHOOTING

SOLUTION
1. Check spark. Remove sparking plug. Reattach the
sparking plug cap and lay sparking plug on metal
cylinder. Pull the starter rope and watch for spark
at sparking plug tip. If there is no spark, repeat
test with new sparking plug.
2. Push primer bulb until bulb is full of fuel. If bulb
does not fill, primary fuel delivery system is
blocked. Contact a service dealer. If primer bulb
fills, engine may be flooded (see next item).
3. Remove spark plug, turn trimmer so spark plug
hole is aimed at the ground. Make sure lever is
in the open choke (
cord 10 to 14 times. This will clear excess fuel
from engine. Clean and reinstall spark plug. With
the throttle trigger fully depressed, pull starter
cord three times with lever at open choke (
) position. If engine does not start, move choke
lever to close choke (
normal starting instructions in "STARTING AND
STOPPING" section. If engine still fails to start,
repeat procedure with a new spark plug.
