What to do if my DR SP22 engine will not start?

If the engine of your DR Lawn Mower won't start, ensure the blade control lever is in the operating position and the fuel valve is in the ON position. Also, make sure the spark plug wire is properly attached and that the engine has the correct amount of clean oil. Use fresh, clean, unleaded gas, and check that the air filter is clean. Finally, ensure the spark plug is clean; if it's oily, remove it, cover the spark plug hole with a rag, pull the recoil cord several times to clear any oil from the cylinder, then wipe and reinsert the spark plug. If the engine is difficult to start in heavy or high grass, move the mower to a clean, dry surface.
