2 cycle won't start
 
Try taking off the muffler, then start it. If it starts (it will be very
loud) then the problem is a clogged muffler. On mine, I noticed a wire mesh
at the opening to the muffler which was charred or clogged with caked on
oil. A sharp knife scraping it being careful not to damage the mesh fixed it
right up.

If you have spark and fuel, the third requirement is air. How clean is

the
air filter?
I also assume the gas+oil is fresh.
M.B.

Air filter is good... first thing I checked... gas and oil fresh. I'm
thinking I'll just have to take it to the shop.
