  If your Wacker Neuson vibratory rammer & tamper isn't starting, several factors could be the cause: * The fuel cock may not be closed, so put the throttle lever in the IDLING position. * The choke might be disabled; place the throttle lever on IDLE and activate the choke. * The purge bulb may not be pressed enough; press it 10 times. * The fuel tank could be empty; in this case, top off the fuel. * The fuel filter might be dirty; replace the filters. * The air filter could be contaminated; clean it, and replace it if necessary. * The spark plug might be contaminated or wet; clean it, and replace it if needed. * The spark plug air gap could be too large; correct the gap or replace the spark plug.
