[QUOTE="azekologi, post: 277378, member: 2311"] +5 (or 6, I lost count) on trying fresh fuel. I've had similar problems with several of my 2- & 4-stroke yard tools and a fresh batch of fuel usually does the trick. After that, I'd open up the air filter and see how she looks. If it's dirty, give it a good wack on the ground to get some of the big stuff out, perhaps blow it out with compressed air (careful, not to high of a pressure), or replace as necessary. After that, I'd start looking at the plug (fouled?), plug gap, etc. Worst case, take it in for warrranty. If it's been a good long off-season since it's seen regular use, I'd probably change the oil for good measure. Hope that helps. 8) P.S. Sta-bil or any other fuel treatment is usually a smart thing to run, but they usually only last 6-12 months. I use them to prevent gumming, but I wouldn't count on them for long term storage...at least not thinking that adding them will have your machine 'start right up' after an off season. [/QUOTE]
