      Your Troy-Bilt blower engine might not start due to several reasons: * The fuel tank could be empty, in which case you should fill it with properly mixed fuel. * The primer bulb may not have been pressed enough; press it 10 times or until fuel is visible. * The engine could be flooded; squeeze the throttle control and pull the starter rope until the engine starts. * The fuel might be old (over 30 days) or improperly mixed; drain the fuel tank and add fresh, properly mixed fuel. * The spark plug could be fouled; replace it.
