check the spark plug to make sure its not oiled up (if you have a 4 stroke). Sometimes they burn too much oil, especially if they have been tipped on their side.

try running it without the air filter on. see if it does the same problem

Old petrol? Was it clean petrol this year?

dhl · 17 Jul 2006

masona: Yes new petrol

Nstreet: Spark plug was oiled up, cleaned, and fits ok but still
not catching when cranking

Eddie M: no cut off switch (that I know off none in manual)

Sky fits ok no kinks

Thermo Will try 2nite without filter
