  If your EarthQuake Cultivator engine won't start, there are several possible causes: * The ignition switch may be off, so flip the switch to the ON position. * The spark plug wire may be disconnected, so connect it to the spark plug. * It may be out of fuel, so refuel it. * The spark plug may be wet, faulty, or improperly gapped, so clean, replace, or gap the spark plug. * The fuel line hose may not be positioned at the bottom of the gas tank, so push the fuel line down into the fuel in the gas tank.

  If your EarthQuake Cultivator engine is hard to start, it could be due to several reasons: * The fuel might be stale. Drain the old fuel and replace it with fresh fuel. Consider using a fuel stabilizer at the end of the season or during long-term storage. * The spark plug wire might be loose. Ensure the spark wire is securely attached to the spark plug. * The carburetor might be dirty. Clean the carburetor and consider using a fuel stabilizer and a new gas can. * The unit might not be primed sufficiently. Prime the unit three more times, and then pull the recoil handle.
