40:1 ratio is the norm, up to 50:1, you can get a 40:1 ratio mix by adding 2.5 cc of 2 stroke oil to 1 litre of petrol. Make sure you do not use car engine oil, it must be special 2 stroke oil which is what they sell for old lawn mowers and strimmers etc. If your exhuast is smoking then you put in too much oil so add more petrol...
empty the petrol,feed the black line (the fuel intake) into the tank and grab the end of it thats attached to the filter inside the tank. now you can feed a new fuel line through into the tank and reattach to the filter. hopefully this will solve your problem ive just done this but mine still wont start, either flooded or spark plug. by the way i bought mine new and the fuel line was split.
This is fuel starvation ( it is running too lean ) if it has been stood from last year with the same fuel in , the fuel may have gone stale and bloced the jet in the carb, keep priming and starting this may eventualy clear the carb, if not the carb will have to come off and clean through, ley us know if you need help servicing the carb.
ive got same problem with mine. Its a carb at fault. either needs a repair kit or replacement carb. Unfortunately its very difficult to find spares for this machine- no one is interested at all!
