I’ve got this older ryobi 410r tiller. hadn’t used it for along time. replaced the bulb and lines and filter and bang started like a new machine. used it abouta week and hadn’t used the kill switch to shut it down. i did however use that kill switch the last time i used it. now i can’t get to start. took the spark plug out to check for spark and nothing. any body got any ideas ?
Are you using fresh gas? If you have bad gas, it can gum up quickly and not start.
Forgot to mention that. Fresh gas/oil mix. Just not getting any spark.
That is weird. I take it the spark plug wire is in good condition? I am stumped why you are not getting any spark. Have you tried cleaning the inside of the wire that sits on top of the spark plug to make sure there isn’t any corrosion?
Have not. Any chance that the ignition coil shot craps. I will check the plug connector when I get a chance
