As they ran before I'm inclined to agree. It says press `bulb` 5 times for fuel? could I be flooding the carb? I ask in case it is my starting methods although I am going by the manual. Small 2 strokes can be very temperamental starting from cold. Is there a choke? I approach my strimmer like this: Fuel up, fully close choke, prime as per the book (6 or 7 presses), fully open the throttle, pull fast and firmly half a dozen or so times. The moment it shows half a inclining at firing move the choke to half way, pull again and it'll normally run on the 2nd or 3rd pull. Keep the throttle open for a 10 seconds or so the let it close slowly and then take the choke right off if it's idling. Being ready on the throttle should it start to die... -- Cheers Dave. pam is missing e-mail Could the petrol be old I used to have terrible trouble starting my mower at the begining of the season until someone told me to change all the petrol that had been laying in the tank all winter.
