Well with gas in tank, oil in the pan and some luck it should start. Use the starter bulb and try a few different settings on the choke.

Have you tried with the choke on? Carburetor might have dust - you can never be sure how long it has been on the shelf. Mine was night starting this season so I got the Carburetor cleaned in preparation for the storm.

Try moving the choke lever around ours seems to be off( turned to full choke otherwise it doesn't run). Also don't forget to put the oil in the machine , it is in kind of a strange place

Push in that red key and keep on choke all the way right and push multiple times that red fuel butten Then pull start

I have had the same problem with my brand new Husqvarna 435. I have pulled on it over a hundred times and it will not start. The local service repair center was able to start it after making carburetor adjustments. But, when I got it home, back to square one...it will not start. A real piece of junk.

There should be a small hole on the back ov the unit. For some reason the unit has frozen up. Use an unfold paper clip to trigger the manual reset. That's all I can suggest other than return it where you got it for refund!

Mine is doing the same thing. I finally just stopped using the ice machine unless I need it for a one time use. Was awesome while it lasted :/

i still have my brand new one that is not working....they ask me to send it to a corporated store in Miami...i am in the bahamas...I repared the first one but not this one....so I have to pay for transport to «Miami and then if it only a bad connection that I didn't find I will have to pay for the work at the shop.Hello this is a brand new generator...so I think I will have to buy another from another compagny...a tri-fuel one or gazoline one that I could change the carburator for propane with a kit...that I already did it a few times and it work good.....Pierre

No, I've never had a problem with this machine (so far) Maybe it is just your machine and you should ask the mfg. to replace it? I'm sorry to hear that you are having problems.

Make sure the props are not damaged. Put it on level ground with no wind. Turn it on and sync it with 0 trim. If it is still out that far after that then you possibly have a bad unit.

Mine ,which is just over a year old and having problems for 6 months finally crapped out. It won't even turn on! I am REALLY struggling with having to send it back on MY dime ($25) PLUS send another $10 for them to send me a new one!! What did I do to deserve to have to pay for their crappy machine??? Hoping the store (Kohls) will even-exchange it for me.Update...I walked into Kohls with the machine...in the original box.....explained it was still under warranty. I walked out with a brand new machine...no questions asked! YES! And I didn't pay Cuisenart a dime!

Mine is easy to start. Do you not have the instructions on the small list of how to start? Do not hold the hand throttle down when starting, it could be dangerous especially if you are not used to machines like this. I guess everyone has told you the switch is waterproof but hard to read. We just remember it's on when pressed toward the motor. Off when pressed toward the outside edge of the machine. Mine's great and I have a big garden.

I had the same thing happen a year ago, the beater bar stopped working. I called the customer service number and they said to push down the reset button, which I did several times. Then they said to take it to Sears for repair. When I took it in, the lady working tried to sell me a refurbished model, saying it was cheaper than having mine worked on. I decided to try a couple of vacuum repair places in our area. Both said they would not work on that model, although one of the stores had a refurbished one. I bought the cheapest vacuum that WalMart sells while I decided what to do about my expensive, Consumer Report-recommended Kenmore vacuum. I'm still using the WalMart one!!

It sounds as though the thermostat is not functioning correctly. I would call the vendor from whom you bought the machine...or the nearest dealer.

I don't know what to tell you, mine fired right up and went to work. Maybe a test print or unplug the machine? Sorry!

Clean it out completely and check cords. Also make sure there is water in it, If not it may slow down or stop without it. Mine did that, but after I cleaned it and filled it back up, it was up and running. I think it's because the water was too low. That makes sense to me.

I just mailed mine back to manufacturer. They are replacing my motor and hopefully cleaning it. I don't know if you've called them but they have excellent customer support. That's where I would start.

No problem with mine - press silver button, squeeze handles and go. Had three storms since I purchased, and works fine every time. Check another item in plug socket to make sure you didn't trip a breaker.

Couple of possibilities. 1)check for computer codes. I there I was code that has been computer error attached (I think it is 601) then there Is a fault In computer and the ECM has to be replaced. 2) the heater has its own separate computer an could be sending the wrong signal to the blower or 3) and most likely the resistor has faulted an you have to change the resistor block. This Is cheapest an most likely. Mine has part not col temperature rated so will not work in -40 weather, have to use heating torch to warm up resistor block first.
