look at the bottom of the engine.....you will see a primer bulb on the carb.....push it in about 6-7 times. you should also see an orange (if I remember correctly) lever.....that is the choke. Put iy in the full choke position. Pull the starter rope....when the engine seems like it might want to start put the check lever in either the middle or the run position. Pull the starter rope again while you have you hand holding the throttle tight. That should do it. I have found this engine very good at starting. If you are familiar with 2 cycle engines then a cursory look around should answer most of your question.

It's actually easier to do it than tell it, but for what it's worth: Throttle Handle: Place your hand on the throttle handle to depress the safety lever, then pull the throttle about 1/2 open. Hold that position, then press down the small button on top of the handle and push forward slightly (away from engine), then hold the small button and release pressure on the throttle. Then remove your hand. This process locks the throttle at about 1/4 throttle. At the top of the handle is a slide switch, assure the switch is all the way back toward the engine, which "turns on the ignition".
Carburetor: On the bottom of the carburetor is a semi-clear plastic "bubble", referred to as a primer bulb (but actually it's a purge bulb). It's purpose is to draw fuel from the tank, force it through the carburetor, then down a return tube back to the fuel tank, forcing all air out of the fuel lines and carburetor. Press this bulb about 6 times. (Visual verification of the purge process can be made by watching the fuel return line until only fuel (no air bubble) is present in the entire line.) Move the engine choke lever upwards to apply the choke, brace the engine with your left hand, hold the pull handle with your right hand, pull the starting line 2-3 times or until the engine starts. (It shouldn't be necessary to use excessive or violent force when pulling, just moderate force.) When engine starts, slowly lower the choke lever down and allow the engine to "warm-up" for 30-60 seconds (not necessary for re-starting an already warm engine). Then slightly increase speed on the throttle, which will release the throttle lock and the engine will idle (and operate) normally.
When you become used to the above process, it takes about 4-5 seconds to do it all (not counting warm-up, of course). see less It's actually easier to do it than tell it, but for what it's worth: Throttle Handle: Place your hand on the throttle handle to depress the safety lever, then pull the throttle about 1/2 open.
