TROUBLESHOOTING
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 a 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 sparking plug and turn trimmer so
sparking plug hole is aimed at the ground.
Make sure lever is in the “WARM START”
position and pull starter cord 10 to 14 times.
This will clear excess fuel from engine. Clean
and reinstall sparking plug. With the throttle
trigger fully depressed, pull starter cord three
times with lever at “WARM START” position. If
engine does not start, move choke lever to
“COLD START” and follow normal starting
instructions in “STARTING AND STOPPING”
section. If engine still fails to start, repeat
procedure with a new sparking plug.

Stopping” earlier in this manual.
