Why is my Midland BENCHMARK HH0408 Tiller engine difficult to start?

If your Midland Tiller engine is difficult to start, first, ensure you have fresh fuel. If that's not the issue, check that the engine switch is turned ON. Also, the engine may not be primed, so press the primer bulb 3 times. Other potential causes include a disconnected spark plug wire (attach it to the spark plug), a fouled spark plug (inspect and replace if needed), a dirty carburetor (take it to a service center), a clogged air filter (remove and clean it), or contaminated fuel (drain, clean, and refill the fuel tank).
