How to start Great Circle LCE01 Paper Shredder when the engine won't start?

If the Great Circle Paper Shredder engine won't start, several factors could be at play. Start by ensuring you have fuel. Check that the choke is in the START position and that you're using fresh, unleaded gasoline. Dirty fuel passageways can also be a culprit; try cleaning them with a fuel additive, though heavy deposits may need more thorough cleaning. Also, make sure the spark plug cap is securely connected and that the spark plug isn't fouled. Low engine oil can also prevent starting, so check and add oil if needed. Finally, if the shredder has been in storage, a lack of compression might be the issue; lubricate the cylinder by pouring a tablespoon of oil into the spark plug hole, crank the engine a few times, and then try starting it again.
