Hi normk
Thought I would try again today with the starter fluid and using a drill to spin flywheel.
Used a bit more than a squirt. Followed can instructions and said 5 seconds and did both the carb intake and also spark plug hole.
Got it going once to fire up and then it stopped obviously but couldn’t do it again after I let the engine rest for an hour.
So I’m assuming the carb needs a clean or replacement?
