If you can't start try this.....
I couldn't get mine to go and tried everything. I was worried about over filling the oil and that is why it didn't start. The company sent me a pic after 2 weeks and when I filled the oil up it started on the first pull. Worked great just let's out a lot of exhaust on the first operation.
