Answer
Is the petrol cut off switch open? Have you checked the spark plug cover is attached? Is the engine flooded? maybe bring the throttle back off the choke or just adjust it a little if you can smell fuel or it feels heavy to start? Are you holding the drive handle instead of the dead man's handle (I have forgotten that once or twice)? Is the blade clogged up (if so be careful to switch it off before checking or putting your hands in)?
