Assuming you followed all of the instructions and the previous answer, maybe a small shot of engine starting fluid (ether) will get you going. Don't overdue it. Also, their customer service is great. Give them a call.

Check for spark first. Check on of switch 1=on and 0=off. Check gas valve, is it on? No spark could mean a bad spark plug and if not then I would send it back! John Judge

Make sure the choke is not jammed. Try and move it by hand at the motor. I use premium gas also. Good Luck.

The instructions, I found from my review, were not clear initially. After numerous try's and with frustration building I double checked the steps and reviewed the diagrams further. Once switch and levers were positioned properly the engine started easily.

Make sure you're getting fuel and fire first, then be sure air filter is clean

Francisco. There is a key (sort of looks like a fuse) that must be plugged into the side of the mower of it will not start. Make sure it is firmly inserted. I had the same issue initially.

Brian-- It took a while for me to find where the spark plug is located on this mower. Once I removed the cover I saw the plug and attempted to remove it with my socket wrench. The space available to this is very cramped and I couldn't get my socket around the base of the plug to remove it. After several attempts I finally gave up. I still have the original plug in the engine, and I guess I'll take it to a lawnmower service shop to change it next spring. Sorry I couldn't help you. I have changed dozens of plugs in all types of mowers but I have never seen one this difficult. Good luck. Steve Brian-- It took a while for me to find where the spark plug is located on this mower.

Interesting thing...I experienced this issue yesterday as well. The wire which opens throttle for auger and connected to the bar which engages it gets a bit loose. Try to pull it with your hand, you will see the difference. That being said, there is a metal plate with holes under the rubber cover on that wire where you can adjust tension of the wire connected to the throttle. Please note it is not easy to do, sometimes, if no one helps you. But it is doable. Let me know if you have further questions.

New battery maybe? Mine worked right out of the box... I don't like the $10 battery but it has worked since day 1 - try holding down the yardage button for 5 seconds - keep trying - should work - sorry you are having issues.

We replaced the carbuerator on our Log Splitter and it runs fine.Don't know what's wrong with your tiller.

If not a wiring issue, look into the compressor start capacitor. There usually is a separate one for the blower so that would start but not the compressor. Other than those no other easy fixes.

Make sure your gas tank vent is open.The filter has four connections, make sure you're flowing (in/out) the gas in the right direction to your motor.Try it without the filter element in it.How low is the filter from the motor connection?Is the squeeze ball on backwards? Check arrows on ball.Could it be that the filter is dirty?Mine is working like it should, I'm on the second season with it.Maybe I have a 30gal through put total, not much. It's on a 2006 9.9M 4s.J

Hello, Please ensure you have power to the mower. Ensure you press the "start" button in and hold it in while you pull the start bar up. The button must be held in. Please contact us at 800-791-9458, if you need further assistance. Thank you, Amerisun Customer Support

Disconnect battery.... Install remote start then the immobilizer .... You might have a problem with the tack wire, if so just program it to start on the minimum number of crank time setting.... Reference in non tack starting.... Nice system....

It works perfect. Check battery. Is it clicking?Then make sure gas is on full and you just hold the starter dial by pushing it in and turn to the left counterclockwise. Push button makes sure you here clicks.

I had the same problem so I exchanged mine for a new one. The new one works fine. I believe the original one had a faulty thermal cutoff switch. Mine would run for a minute or two when I first started it and then cut off. 30 seconds later it would run again but only for a few seconds. I wondered if I was somehow stressing the machine to much, perhaps I was working it too hard. But I'm just re-tilling a garden so my soil is not hard. And the new one works great, though I'm using it exactly the same way. So if you have this problem, I suggest you exchange it for a new unit.

I had quite a hard time with mine. I took it into a professional mechanic who had to adjust it. Seemed to run fine after that. I haven't used it in months now so there's really no telling if it's still going to work. The mechanic I took it to said you need to find gasoline without ethanol and it shouldn't be more than a month old. Otherwise it wont start or run right. Of course I'm on my second saw now. The first went to hell after about 5 hours of use. Sorry, I don't trust this thing very much. Caused me lots of frustration.

Been there done that, the electric start didn't wirk. So I kick started it , I went 0-35 out of my garage into rear end of truck...there is no idle or shift so don't do what I did, u could end up dead. The company I bought from finally agreed to reimburse me, but not shipping.Amazon will get $ back to my account and giving me provincial credit for my shipping costs..this is an ongoing problem with this scooter and the Co. That sell it know it. Sorry I'm not buying another one

First, check the fuel filter- that it's attached to the end of its plastic tube.Second, chuck the iffy "Torch" spark plug, and replace it with NGK BM7A (slightly colder also). They should handle it.Third, get a Poulan splined carb tool & adjust carb. Or, find a dealer who can do that (lotsa luck there.) Better, a friend.Once it's right, get a quality chain 62DL .050" ga. 3/8"LP. Oem chains are SOFT.

My mower just started having a similar problem a couple weeks ago. For me, the tension in the starter cable has become slightly loose... Push down the start button and pull the lever as usual, and then try slightly pushing down on the 2-inch now-exposed cable (between the button and handle) with your right thumb. This pulls on the starting wire just a few hairs more, and then the mower starts. I'm sure I could fix it/tighten the tension, but it's no big problem really, and now it's just a small trick that only I know for starting my mower. :-)
