If carburetor is not primed,   squeeze ball pump and press tickler until fuel flows from the carburetor. If carburetor is primed, proceed to step 5. 5. Check that engine choke is closed in cold weather and open in hot weather or when engine is warm. If choke is not set properly, set choke. If choke is set properly, proceed to step 6. 6. Check for flooded engine/fouled spark plug. Remove spark plug and examine electrodes. If they appear wet, the engine may be flooded. Dry spark plug and pull recoil starter several time to purge excess fuel  from  cylinder. If the plug has excessive accumulation of deposits around electrodes, clean deposits from spark plug electrodes with wiping rag, abrasive paper or wire brush. Rinse spark plug electrodes in solvent, dry plug, regap to   .030 (.75mm) inches and reinstall plug finger tight plus 1/8 turn. Attempt to restart engine. Be sure choke is open.
