weed eater won't start?

My Ryobi weed eater won't crank up. I go to pull the cord and nothing. What could be the problem

obtain a spark plug insert it into the boot get set of wire clip 1 end to spark plug base other end to cylinder head see if spark jumps the gap if it does Remove idle screws clean them(wipe lint free rag)replace and seat them all the way (gently) turn both out 1 turn
(use screwdriver with tape on one edge of blade if you must) pull rope until it tries to start go 1 quarter turn until it runs I am assuming that you are getting gas to the combustion chamber
