Very helpful, especially the tip about clamping off the fuel line. My issue was dirt in the float bowl. After cleaning up with carb cleaner and spraying a bit of starting fluid “just in case”, it started on 2nd pull. I then ran through 1 1/2 tanks of gas chipping up all the misc branches that fell on my lawn over the winter.
Two things to check, does it have spark? use a spark gap tester and see if so. If it does ,You can try taking off the air filter and remove the fuel line to ensure fuel is going into the carburetor, if so, reinstall the fuel hose and try spraying some carburetor cleaner into the carb opening and see if it starts runs and stops, if it does this over and over, then it is a fuel supply issue and I would start at the carburetor.
I did everything on my vacuum it won’t start at all I check the safety switch clean the carburetor and spark plug still won’t start any other recommendation that you can give me
Thanks Ted, my jet was definitely clogged. Appreciate the walk through. Fired right up after a carb clean and jet blow out.
Awesome!!!!

Glad it helped! I really like mine, I have a burn pit that I burn all of the fallen branches but it works great for leaves!
I love simple fixes, thanks Ted 👍😁
Excellent. Worked fine for starting mine. ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Awesome!!
I use a strand of wire pulled from a wire brush to run through the jet and up through the carb tube.
Quart ziplock under the bowl works well.
Ty 😊
Mine started and I ran it for a while. Now it won't start. Do you think doing this would fix? Thanks.
