Hi Shankar

Thanks for contacting the Answer Army to post your questions.

There are NUMEROUS things that could be causing this issue however more than likely the unit is flooded with fuel. When trying to start the unit close the choke fully and pull the starter rope no more than 3-5 times with the choke closed, then move the choke to the half choked position and pull no more than 5 times in that position. If the unit has yet to start move the choke to be fully opened and pull the starter 3-5 more times. The unit surely should have started by this point however if it has not with the choke fully opened engage the throttle so the unit would be at full throttle, and pull the rope a few more times and it certainly should start right up.

If this has yet to solve the issue then it is possible that there is a more serious issue at hand and the machine would need to go to a dealer for an evaluation.

Thanks again from the Husqvarna Technical Services Team.
