Should have mentioned this has a 26cc Power Head
The instructions are:
Slowly press the prime bulb 10X
Set the choke to full choke, squeeze throttle trigger fully and pull the starter grip (cord) sharply until engine attempts to run. Do NOT pull starter more than 4X.
Set the choke to half and pull starter until engine runs. Do Not pull starter more than 6X.
If it doesn’t start return to full choke and repeat steps.

I’ve done that until I’m blue in the face. Brand new plug gapped correctly. Remixed my gas to specs. Checked all lines and filter. Primer bulb fills but gas doesn’t seem to be getting to the plug???
Not that that matters, I took and eye dropper and put a small squirt into the plug hole. Still won’t start. Doesn’t even try to fire. I have good spark, checked plug with tester.:wall:
So, I go to the troubleshooting page. Did everything there, nothing. I’ve about pulled my arm off.
It ran fine about 3 weeks ago. No gas sat in it because I ran the dumb thing dry and quit versus run home and mix a whole new batch of gas. It was 90 out and I was hot and tired and just wanted a cold beer.:o
So, anybody got any ideas? I’ve got about 1/4 acre of grass and weeds to trim.
