How to fix a Cub Cadet CC 2000 that will not start?

If your Cub Cadet Trimmer engine won't start, several factors could be the reason. First, check that the on/off stop control is in the ON position. If it is, ensure the fuel tank isn't empty and is filled with properly mixed fuel. Insufficient priming can also be a culprit; press the primer bulb fully and slowly 10 times. If the engine is flooded, squeeze the trigger and pull the starter rope. Old or improperly mixed fuel requires draining the gas tank and adding a fresh fuel mixture. A fouled spark plug should be replaced or cleaned, and a plugged spark arrestor needs cleaning or replacement.
