This season the Sears weed whacker (strimmer)

stiff (3 years old) but now cannot start the motor.
Is there a web site with useful trouble-shooting
check lists?

Thanks for advice. I put in a new spark plug last week
(and changed the carb diaphragm yesterday.) That is
why I asked for a steer to subtler troube-shooting.
