Let run longer on choke than suggested then switch. Ours did this after first bought last season, this season won't work at all. If you just purchased this and can take it back and get a new one, it might be beneficial. Troy-built website reviews post same prob, and eventually not starting. Sounds like some might be defective.
Any suggestions for one that starts for about 5 seconds max, after several trys of starting???
