Thank you for posting the most basic but inspirational starting guide ! … it gave me hope ! Especially when I was on a Day / episode # 3 of trying to start my once used only strimmer … with the comments, below I knew I potentially had another 50 attempts to then hit the 200 mark … boosh ! It started circa 180 😂 🥵🥵🥵 thanks for the video, but especially the HOPE … No surrender 😊

Unless there is something else wrong with it, you must be flooding it. In general you don't need the choke unless it is very cold. MAKE SURE the filter is not clogged. Put switch to off, prime 3-4 times till no bubbles, pull the choke out, give it three steady slow pulls. Turk choke off, turn switch to ON, It should start first pull everytime. If it doesn't take the plug out to see if it is fouled. Also make sure exhaust is free and no little devils crawled it and nested. Only use the choke to start it when it is very cold. In general, to protect the motors from overheating they have made this run so rich it needs no choke.

I feel your pain. i wounder if any of the units work!!!!

I had the exact same trouble today trying to start mine. Ended up throwing it back in the garage.

I found with my new hyundai multi-tool.....i definitely over-choked it at first....i reckon one pull with choke (in summer), then choke off for second pull, and it starts....I definitely flooded mine when I first got it

This is not how you start a Hyundai strimmer folks! I have found you need to pump the primer 6x or until no air bubbles, then click the on switch to on, and pull the choke up to on. Then pull the cord out until you feel resistance. Then let the cord go, and fall back into place, then in one clean tug pull the cord with a full tug, the machine should turn over, if not repeat until it does. Click the choke back to off, and repeat the above by pulling the cord until you feel resistance again and then quick full pulls until it starts, should take three or four gos.

This is absolutely not the case. Had the machine 24 months. Have tried this method for the last 6 months. Everyone it’s exactly the same

I have one of these and it is a pig to start, usually I start and lose my temper with it and call it all the names under the sun then it seems to fire up, but the sun has gone down by then.

Are you serious!!?? Pull the red choke out by your thumb with no throttle!! Pull slow so the piston is TDC (top dead centre) recoil then pull firmly but not fast until it fires. Then maybe push red choke in and pull once it will start!!

I have one of these and I can confirm they are pig to start. I rebuild tractor and boats engines, I know how to start an engine. These are just seriously hard to start. A blast of engine starter fluid helps.

I have just hought one of these brand new,and it won't start...piece of shite..

i have the same problem with same tool only way to get it going easier is either take off the air filter cover and put your thumb over the choke flap or take the spark plug out and pour a little petrol down the hole usually starts instantly then .

No reason you should spend 10 minutes trying to start it only to repeat the procedure once it cools down. This model has a serious flaw but just like their cars you will get no help from Hyundai....they should do the decent thing and buy them pack at 75% retail cost. I'm on my 3rd one.

Yep, absolute piece of crap, I thought it was just me, near to impossible to start for no apparent reason, tried everything. you need three arms, one to hold the b’stard down, one on the trigger for when it does eventually fire and one to pull the cord which feels a tiny bit too short. Would not buy again.
