Hi all, recent bought this and it worked great first time off. Then after leaving it resting for a hour or so it just wouldn’t start again.
So I messed around with bits and pieces (not knowing Exactly what I was doing) eventually removing the spark plug cover and it started up straight away. Obviously I’d assume it’s dangerous to run it with no cover but it’s the only way it will run.
Any advice or tips to get it running normally again for someone who has never had a 2 stroke garden tool before.

Smells like a bad connection which got better when something moved - ?
Potentially, didn’t make sense to me as it was brand new. Used for less then a hour then set down for an hour before trying to use it again.
I’m clueless with these sort of things so wondered if there was an easy fix, or if I just risk the chance of a shock and use it with the cover hanging off.
 
By doing this you are teasing the ignition coil to produce a stronger spark at the plug......aged mechanics trick!
Take the machine back if convenient but if not, try a new plug first then maybe a new igniter unit.
P.S using a ready mixed Aspen type fuel will pay dividends! Stihl and Husqvarna produce their own 50:1 two stroke blend, around £20 per 5 litres.
