Hey Brandon
You did not say what model you have. If
it is is a 2/cycle or not. I agree with the other post, on a 2 cycle, make sure the the emergency shut off is in the on position, and also with the valve covers off that the throttle goes from full to idle freely. If it would bind up it may runaway on you .I would open up the intake side of the blower to see it it is turning and leave it open. If it starts and keeps going you can block the air if the emergency shut down is not working.Fresh fuel and filters are a must.
Guido.

Check to see if the supercharger rotors are turning. The splines sometimes wear out on the shaft that turns the supercharger. As far as I know, the Detroit two-cycles can't draw air in; it must be pushed in by the blower. No air-no start!

Before you try to start it make sure you pull the valve cover and make sure the fuel rack moves freely it is probly stuck in the no fuel position . if it is sticky and you do get it to start it will likly run away (or you will). good luck mike

Make sure the emergency shut-down isn't closed. Would be on the intake and is like a choke. Shuts off the air so the engine will die... they were good for running on fumes and running backwards or away! After that prime the fuel system and it should fire. I have an 8v71 I got for free that you can actually spin the rings on the piston in the sleeve with your finger and it runs great.
