Starting CS100 first time

[Luckyeleven]

OK, I'm sure there is something I'm missing here, I concede defeat.

 

I took delivery of my new cs100 just before xmas and had a quick go at starting it, no luck.

 

Ive just had another go after getting back after my xmas holiday.

 

The fuel switch is on, the choke is on and I have the electric start model.

 

Fuel is getting to carb but nothing, the engine just turns over with no progress.

 

Its like there is a stop switch somewhere that I am missing, In the manual it shows a little red rocker on/off switch, Mine is the latest model and this switch seems to have completely disappeared.

 

Any ideas?

Have you checked the oil level , it may have a cut off for no oil or low oil .

Off switch on top of in feed shoot?

Fuel switch on?

Side cover on properly to make sure sensor is down?

If all is good just try pushing in the choke almost straight away.

No big red button at top of hopper, check the switch on side cover, take cover off, push switch in and try it, mine dicked about so I bypassed it

It might be the emergency off switch on top of the feed chute. Pull it up to make sure its not down (even when its down it doesn't clearly look down). ive done this a few times before realising the emergency button was on.

Yea the only switch I can see is the big red mushroom stop.

in the manual it shows a small rocker switch next to the pull start, this model seems to have forgone that.

R.e the switch under the belt guard, ive adjusted the nuts for the switch pusher to make it stick out more, so it shouldn't be that.

Oil looks good......

Ive stuck the battery on charge to see whether it lost something in transit...

I bet it's the big red stop button, it should click as its pressed.

 

If it's been pressed. It needs a firm pull up to reset.

and the winner is.......

Emergency stop, when its pushed down it seems like you can still push down to stop.

 

anyway now I look like a fool, but i have a running chipper!

I know for a reason [emoji4]

 

Had mine running straight away after bringing it home.

But when I took it out to the fields to have a play, for the life of me could I get it started (mines pull start, the sweat was rollin off me).

Hadn't realised my brother had pressed the stop button back at the house, and as the button still pressed down (albeit not click and stay down) I didn't think there was an issue.
