Status: offline 		You may also want to make sure the lid on the fuel tank is sealing completely.
Also, when you first start cranking the engine plug the exhaust (for just a couple of pulls), this will force fuel up the fuel line.

Status: offline 		try taking off the line that attaches to the exhaust and blow into it....you should see the fuel move....if you dont start working your way forward until you find your leak...make sure your gas cap is pushed down and sealed.. I am saying this in assumption that you tried covering the exhaust exit and pulled on the pull start a few times to prime it..

First off did you use after run oil when you were done running it? Second are you putting your finger over the stinger when you pull the cord to prime the engine?

Status: offline 		like others said, hold your thumb over the exhaust outlet and pull it till you see the fuel line fill up. two or three pulls and it should be there and will fire right up.
