The blower engine will not start after repeated pulling — common causes include stale or incorrectly mixed fuel (requires 50:1 gas-to-oil ratio), a flooded engine, fouled spark plug, clogged carburetor, or clogged fuel filter; always drain fuel before storage or add fuel stabilizer; the 350BT has a decompression valve and purge bulb to assist starting — make sure the purge bulb is pressed until fuel is visible and the choke is in the correct start position
