  If the engine of your Hecht Blower isn't starting, make sure the engine switch is in the “I“ (ON) position. Also, check that the fuel tap is open, the choke lever is in the correct position (CHOKE for a cold engine, RUN for a hot engine), and the socket plug is properly fitted. Additionally, inspect the spark plug for dirt or faults, ensure the correct gap between the electrodes, add fuel if the tank is empty, or replace old fuel with new fuel.
