the thing to a local lawn and garden shop and had their service person
take a look at it. He checked out a few things for about 30 seconds,
pulled the pull start once and viola it started to problem. Turns out
that you can only start those things if you hold the trigger and
release the pressure that is built up in the engine. He said never to
start it without the trigger being held down. So after feeling like a
complete idiot I took his advice and the thing has been working great
ever sense.



Perfect! This problem has been happening to us for years, and we knew if
we let the thing sit, it would eventually start. Many thanks.

Hi,
Wondering nothing mentioned in the owner's manual?

I looked in my manual and it says to start it with the trigger lock on.
That keeps the trigger from being pulled.

Then it mentions after you run it or if it tries to start and doesn't, to
pull the trigger and release the pressure before restarting.. It is in just
the regular print. One would think this would be in bold print because it
is an important point. Then it mentions something about if you don't
releaes the pressure, it could cause the motor to kick back.
