I spent a good part of yesterday trying to start my heretofore always reliable Tanaka weed whacker.
As useless as I am 4-cycle ICE's, I seem blessed with some sort of uncanny ability to make 2-cycle engines start easily. In fact, this very trimmer started on first tug (yes; really) after winter's layup. Maybe it was those 1960's Yamahas? ;)
Anyway, no joy this day.
I cursed. I whined. I hurt. That last because of a recent flaring of "tennis elbow" from using a sledge hammer like a 22-YO guy instead of the Medicare guy I am. ::)
I waited, of course, many minutes to "deflood" it, including all the usual impatient tricks of carb cleaner, removing plug and letting it all air out, etc.
Oh.
Perhaps that's the problem.
Let's not tell Kathi.
Switch "on?"
Uhm ... yes.
Now.
Varoooooooom!
Or .. OK ... ringadingdingdingdi ng.
;D
