Check your fuel line maybe its soft and might be sucking shut...Bob
Can the timing be out on a 2 stroke?
before i so your post i did put abit of fuel down the spark plug hole and replaced the spark plug i then pulled the cord yet still and nothing but when i removed the plug again and brought the piston back up a very small about of grey smoke came out and the piston head was dry again so it must be buring it off but still not enought to fire it up
unfortunatley those McCullouch's are known as disposible as the cost of the parts are rediculas and quite often just as cheap to buy another one
but i now definitely know the engine had been run on straight petrol
hey guys thanks again for all your help i still havent got round to getting any pictures but i now definitely know the engine had been run on straight petrol as the bloke said he put the 2 stroke mix in the 4 stroke genney and clogged his plug up and the straight mix in the 2 stroke strimmer he run it for a while then it just cut out which would explain the stiffness when trying to pull but now i have the pull start free and the engine turning over what could be damged to cause it not to start i know its only a cheap jobby but i am determined to get it working
but i have so on plenty of videos were there saying if this happens even if it was something like a stihl i would still not be worth trying to fix cheers
