Arlen:   
      
   No squishy rubber thing down on the side of the block?   
      
   But you have in place of it a choke lever.  Always hated trying to start up   
   them   
   'two-slider' deals, lol!   Reminds me of Dad's old flip-handle windup horror   
   from   
   the late '60s.  He could storm n curse at that thing like you never! lol   
      
   Wind it up, flip the winder shut, jump back behind the machine, and flip the   
   choke and throttle levers at just the right time, might fire up n run for ten   
   seconds,   
   "sunovabitch!"  Bend over, flip open, wind. repeat.  Nice way to spend a friday   
   evening or Saturday!   
      
   But yeah, run the make and model on line, I'm sure there's an owners or service   
   manuel for it out there.  Sounds like it's perpetuallly on the verge of   
   stalling for   
   lack of fuel, or clean air, but you probably already checked that filter.
