1 Check gas and oil, again. What kind of problem? Does electric starter work? If yes, does the engine begin to start but poorly? Yes or no, check spark plug (need a spark plug socket), make it clean or replace. If manual choke, set to max speed, choke it for first 5-second attempt. Un-choke it, set at max speed, another 5-second attempt. Anytime you have run the starter for total 30 seconds or more, give machine a rest for an hour in case it got 'flooded' (lots of un-burned gas inside cylinders). Be glad it's not pull-cord start. Call your uncle or cousin who is "handy with tools", unless you have plenty of money, then take it to a repair shop, either a dealer (+$) or independent mechanic (-$). A good mechanic who works on *small* engines will find the problem in under two minutes and is able to fix it in 5 minutes if its a simple problem/setting (it usually is). But you can't wait; the 5 or 20 or 30 minutes of actual work on yours might take a few days because there are others ahead of you, or because you are rude or insistent or self-important or don't appreciate their expertise or because the actual mechanic is likely grossly underpaid no matter how high a bill the shop charges you (owner takes most). If you can identify the *individual* mechanic, ask to speak to him and *privately* tip him ahead of time $10 or $20 bucks not as guarantee but just because you appreciate him. Tips are private - managers might disapprove. You tip waiters & waitresses? The mechanic is doing you a far more important service requiring far more knowledge than handing you a plate of food, and is also underpaid.
