[QUOTE="thill, post: 504456, member: 4972"] As stated above, the typical steps to start an older 2-stroke engine are as follows: [LIST=1] [*] Make sure the fuel line is connected and the tank is full of fresh, mixed fuel, 50:1 ratio [*] Squeeze the primer bulb until firm but not crazy hard [*] Press the "throttle only" button and push the throttle handle forward just a little [*] Turn the key while pressing in to crank the engine and prime it at the same time [*] Once it starts be ready to back off the throttle as they can rev up very quickly [*] If it starts, then wants to die, push the key in for a second or 2 at a time to keep it going [*] If the engine will only run with you pressing the key, it probably needs the carburetors cleaned. But at least you get it running! [/LIST] I hope this step-by-step will help you [/QUOTE]
