For this reason, press the button again before each additional starting attempt. You can flood a M-tronic saw quite easily if you’re used to old saws that required holding the throttle open to start.
You may need to RESET the M-tronics, which is easy to do.
Sometimes hard starting problems can be malfunctioning solenoids that control the fuel mixture.
