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. -- Ken Shaffer 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. |
