After running this through, do I need to pull the engine start cord without starting the engine a few times, or am I done?

I just press the trigger on the wand until the solution comes out. this is without running the engine.

After connecting pump saver to water inlet an injecting the pump saver until it exits the pump should be good enough, although I guess it wouldn't hurt to pull the cord a few times. Also the reviews on Amazon have some good suggestions.

My washer is electric but here is what I did. Hooked up the can and emptied until excess water came out the exit hose (make sure the hose is pointed in a direction that you do not want to get wet). Then to be sure the lubricant had circulated into the pump, I plugged in the unit and ran for about three seconds but, unlike a gas powered washer, turning the pump motor on and off is much easier and faster reducing the chance of running the pump dry.

When I used my Pump Saver it blew the water out of the water pump. Unfortunately I had my face on front of the exhaust tube. Never do that a gain.I did not see anything in the instructions on pulling the engine cord after appling the Pump Saver. My pump has not frozen up during winters after just blowing out the pump with te Pump Saver so I assume from my experience that pulling the engine cord is not necessary.

no you shouldnt have to, the pressure in the can is supposed to push the solution through the pump.

Your done when fluid exits the pump. I use it after each use; even in the summer. Great product.

Sorry mine is electric start I just push the button. Although their was one start that took the mower some cranking before it started. Otherwise it has started every time without problem. I have used this lawn mower all this year.

No trouble at all to start - just follow the owners manual for choke settings and speed. Started the second pull after set-up and on the first pull every time after that.

Actually, yes. Although it has an electric start, the design of the plug housing is such that I could not get a plug to fit. I was surprised, and pleased, when I was able to start the machine with one pull. Maker certain you have all the valves open and the cylinder primed and you should not have a problem.

First how old is the starter now. I would start by jumping across the slave solenoid first. if the starter runs change the solenoid, if not your starter is probably bad. No reason to change any more than you have to.

It usually starts with one or two pulls of the starter cord so it's really not an issue. It will re-charge itself when running. If it's an issue any trickle charger will do but is really unnecessary.

You pull a cord to start it. It is hard for my 10 yr old grandson to start so my husband has to start it for him.

It does not have electric start...at least, mine does not...and I purchased this one. However, it does start very easy, and I'm female. The manual says to pull the cord out until you feel tension and then yank hard, several times. I never have to pull more than twice. It's not at all like starting a lawn mower. I got mine out of storage yesterday...been stored since April. Started on the second pull. It's really a decent machine for the price!

Mine was hard to start the first time, but is fine now. Still doesn't want to rev up quickly. I know this is a carb adjustment. 1st start after a long non-use period, I have to hold the throttle trigger fully down. It' hard to believe the part about the carb not being under a warranty. lm

not electric start. Must prime the fuel bulb (e.g. think standard lawn mower) before pulling the start cord.

Yes that can be confusing. When they say run just turn the key on but don't start the engine

I would unplug it. If you are starting your engine just so that you have some lubrication, think again. Just starting your engine and not putting a load on it created cylinder wash. Your oil needs to get hot so that any condensation formed will evaporate and not create oxidation in your engine. Oil needs to get hot so as not to varnish inside your bearing. Best thing to do with a stored vehicle is to drive it around for a half a day once every two months so that brakes don't stick, wheel bearings, o rings, hoses, belts, etc, don,t dry out, oxidize and fail.

You need to put oil in. It will not work until the oil is in. I did not connect the battery. It is easy to pull start. Use the leads provided if you want to connect the battery. You have to remove the cover on the side of the unit to get to the battery.

No, it's a 2 stoke gas engine, just need to mix gas with 2 stoke oil. The starter is a recoil starter, so no battery requied, just pull the cord like a gas engine lawn mower.

Yes there is a button to push to start. There is a cord in case there is something wrong with the starter. FYI I have used the cord to start & it was very easy & fired up on first pull

oh you have to full the starter first and close the exhaust for 3 time fulling the starter until the gas go to the carburator before u put the starter kit and full the starter

I would tend to agree. I have to use starter fluid and carb cleaner each time I use the generator to get it running. It's almost brand new.
