I had one of these, got so pissed at it. I just threw it away.
the start up step that are printed on the guard.. is about 12 steps, just to get it started. that is if you could.
Start up on consumer grade small 2 strokes did get more difficult with the introduction of CARB compliant engines but the startup procedure shouldn't be too difficult, it's generally just pushing a priming bulb _fully_ 3 to 5 times, putting the choke on full, then if it doesn't start after a few good pulls (less than 5), move the choke to half until it starts running then slide it to no choke.
Biggest issue I usually see with people trying to start them is that they push the primer bulb too fast and/or not down all the way so they aren't priming the engine very much until they start pulling the cord. That is, unless it's out of adjustment or has a carb clog.
you are pretty much screwed with the new carb rules because they try and limit or eliminate carb adjustments.
i purchased one of these from lowes for $115 about 5-6 years ago. still have it and use it about 2 times a year. it starts fairly easy after about 4-5 presses of the priming bulb and setting on full choke. cuts up to about 1/4th inch thick branch. the anti vibration mechanism is great.
Just reset (open) the 2 carb screws and that'll usually fix most hard starting on these 2 strokes.
Thats the problem, they have made them to where you either need a special tool or can't adjust them at all. Gone are the days where you could run the screws in and out with a screwdriver to squeeze out the snot in there.
