They can be a wee bit latchy to start after a longer layup.
On the model before yours, you sometimes need to run some fuel through the float bowls but yours will be FI...
Make sure you are NOT touching the throttle as you try to start it. Make sure the chike is fully on, make sure the kill switch is set to run (they will crank over with the kill switch off). If it was me, I'd get a car battery hooked up to it and give it a good 30 seconds on the starter. They usually spluutter a bit fire up on 1 then 2 then 3 then 4 and then hit a fast idle. If you touch the throttle during this process, it will immediately die again. ____________________ “Rule one: Always stick around for one more drink. That's when things happen.

Drain as much fuel as you can
Put fresh fuel in
charge battery
Crank lots to get old fuel though
You may need to lift tank and use easy start to air filter to get it going ____________________ Dave
