Good for you. If you have a trickle charger, put it on the battery overnight so it will be snug up in the morning. You want to eliminate as much as possible so you can evaluate how you've done so far. Make sure the stack is on and in good shape and clamped down correctly. It is important for engine ventilation. In the morning when it is cool, crack the throttle to about 1/3 open or just over 1/3, and put the choke about 80% on (that is - - about 70-80% restricted air flow) and of course, "KNOCK IT OUT OF GEAR" and pull the switch and hit the starter. If you get good results, then you can spend a little time making sure your charging system and battery are tip-top. If my H is any example, it's lost a little compression I'm sure and doesn't like to start cold with too much choke restriction and the governor (through the throttle setting) needs to be free to feed rpm to the engine early. You may also want to have someone hold a timing light "with the trigger pulled" connected to any plug wire so you can see it when you fire up. Make sure and establish that helper "away" from the fan with themselves and the timing light leads, especially if they know what the light is used for, cause they may want to take a look and Bingo!! - no fingers. If it doesn't fire up, but you see the strobe fire, then suspect carb problems. If it doesn't fire up and "no strobe," suspect loose or broken connections somewhere in the ignition string or a bad coil. Good luck.

Today's Featured Article - Choosin, Mounting and Using a Bush Hog Type Mower - by Francis Robinson. Looking around at my new neighbors, most of whom are city raised and have recently acquired their first mini-farms of five to fifteen acres and also from reading questions ask at various discussion sites on the web it is frighteningly apparent that a great many guys (and a few gals) are learning by trial and error and mostly error how to use a very dangerous piece of farm equipment. It is also very apparent that these folks are getting a lot of very poor and often very dangerous advice fro ... [Read Article]
