Monster LB Posted January 18, 2015 Share Posted January 18, 2015 Son got one of these for his birthday, just got it ready to go today for the first time. Finally managed to get some fuel to the carb (which took ages!!) and it started very quickly. As advised, the first 2-3 tanks, it should be left to idle. About 1/4 way through the first tank, it cut out. Cannot pull the pull cord to get it started again, it is stuck in - please advise. I have read on here that the engine could be flooded so have followed instructions based on that but to no avail. Hopefully it is a simple fix but can't see anything relevant on here. Help is appreciated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mattyboy Posted January 18, 2015 Share Posted January 18, 2015 Have you taken the glow plug out and drained it of fuel? (just checking!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ben Willis Posted January 18, 2015 Share Posted January 18, 2015 Try heating up the engine because being a new engine it will have bags of compression and pinch, and if it is left at too dead centre or thereabouts it will seize as the metal inside contracts. Heat it up with a hair dryer for a few minutes and it should become easier to pull and start Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
