Remove the spark plug from the engine and the spark plug boot. 3. Turn the product so that the spark plug hole is aimed at the ground. 4. Make sure the choke lever is set to RUN and pull the starter cord 10 to 14 times. 5. Clean and reinstall the spark plug. 6. With the throttle trigger fully depressed, p...
