POSSIBLE CAUSE

⇒Is the spark plug clean? If it’s fouled or cracked, change it. If it’s oily, leave it out, hold a rag over the spark plug hole and pull the recoil cord several times to blow out any oil in the cylinder, then wipe off the spark plug and reinsert it.

⇒Are you using fresh, clean unleaded gas? If it is old, change it. Use a fuel stabilizer if you keep gas longer than one month.
