Won't start. I have followed all of the directions in the manual and still can't get it to start. I replaced the spark plug. Still doesn't work. Any suggestions?

Empty the fuel tank. Add fresh fuel/oil mixture. Then add two ounces of 100% acetone to the fuel tank. This will remove the build up inside the carburetor, etc. Try to start several times. Then let it sit for a while. Then try to start it again. Keeping the trigger (speed control) fully depressed when attempting to start it helps immensely. Repeat trying to start it a few times then letting it sit for a while until it starts. If the plastic bubble primer is broken it must be replaced, the tiller will never start if it is cracked. If there is no fuel shown in the primer the fuel lines are cracked and must be replaced. You can find suitable replacments for the fuel lines and fuel filter at Home Depot where the Ryobi/Echo maintenance kits are sold.
