Just picked up a used EX350 - Any help would be greatly appreciated
#1   Jun 7, 2008 3:28 am
I recently ran across an ad on Craigslist for a used, inoperable EX350 for $100, so I bought it thinking that I could get it going relatively easily and at a reasonable cost.

Are there any special starting procedures for this machine??

The fellow I got it from said that he used it 2.5 years ago, placed it back in his shed where he stored it, ran across it last week when cleaning the shed and decided to sell, which is where I enter the picture.

The tank was empty, so I promptly filled with petrol with a 50:1 mixture. Attempted to start and nothing.

Removed the plug, and it appears to be brand new.

Checked for a spark, and there is none. Knowing that it is relatively rare for a coil pack just to "go out' from idly sitting in a shed, I am curious to know if I am missing something other than my mind.

Any and all help in this area would be tremendously and greatly appreciated.

Yours,
Jon
