ensure petrol is turned on (front left) check you have the right spark plug and the clearance is correct, check the breather hoses are not clogged with white gunk from the oil, ensure that theair filter is clean, you can remove the sponge and rinse it in soapy water and allow to dry thoroughly all being well it should start with a few good tugs. happy mowing!
