Simply pull out the choke and turn the starter. Once the unit starts, push the choke in.

You should check both before changing anything. You can run direct power to the starter only, if it spins than the starter could be ok. If you have any doubts, take it to Napa or other parts stores and they generally will check them for free.

Danny - I received my starter from "DB Electrical Starter-Alternator". My paperwork says to contact the seller if there are any questions. If you bought yours from this company I would contact them. Just as a note, after buying and installing mine, it turned out I had a battery with a bad sell. If the starter and battery went out at the same time....not sure. Hope this helps.

I think there are some blogs out there as well as reviews that will answer your question better than I, its function is not related to what you can with a diagnostic tool, rather high powered troubleshooting of the basics ie why your starter isn't working

I had the same issue. I found this video on YouTube which helped me out. Be careful not to pull the cord too far when starting. I pulled my daughters pull start all the way out the first time. :) Good luck!!

If the acid has been sitting in the battery for a while then make sure the battery doesn't feel warm anymore. Take a volt meter, measure voltage and if above 12v then install and enjoy! If the voltage is lower or right at 12v then I would trickle charge it. Just depends what size starter you're trying to turn over..........

try on new batteries only / then electric cord plugin only / then read the owners manual / then if it will not work return it

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. :-)

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.

No it isn't electric start. But it doesn't need it. We keep ours outside under a tarp during the winter. It takes just one easy pull to start every time. Just make sure there is no water in your gas

Make sure battery top is put on and turned to match arrow. Mine didn't work either until I figured this out

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.

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.

I prefer using the pull start instead of the electric start. Change the oil, and spark plug as per the manual's instructions. Also, either store the generator without fuel in the tank, and drain the fuel lines, or add fuel stabilizer to keep the fuel from varnishing, which is bad.

Look under the sliding lever and make sure no parts of the slider are broken or obstructed. If this is the first time assembling, make sure it's assembled per instructions. Make sure the battery is inserted properly and that the contacts aren't covered up. I found that you have to slide the left-hand safety lever first, THEN turn the switch on. If you do the operations in the wrong order, it won't start. Hope this helps.

Nope. Mine worked out of the box. regular small engine. Electric start works. I did add a float charger to keep it alive. I bought it for insurance. If you have one ready, there will never be a storm. :)

Need more information on both the engine and the starter before I can give an accurate answer.
