Best Answer

Gas model? fill gas tank with proper mix of gas, [usualy 50 to 1 ] prime, turn on switch, crank it,

More complete answer:

I have an old pre-Poulan Weedeater brand string trimmer that requires the following steps:

1. Fill gas tank with 40:1 gas/oil mixture

2. Make sure switch is OFF and choke is on full

3. Pull starter 10-15 times (this primes the carburetor; other engines usually have a rubber primer bulb that needs to be pressed about 3 times)

4. Turn switch on and set choke at 1/2.

5. Pull starter to start engine. Let run 15-30 seconds before turning off choke
