McCulloch trimmer starting instructions?

[KeithG]

I just fell into a formerly dormant gas trimmer. McCulloch eager beaver (400128-51).

I'd love to find the starting instructions. I'm sure someone here can give me the core ideas. It has a primer, and a RUN | START| CHOKE switch.

Any input on other aspects of this trimmer would be greatly appreciated. (Engine make & model, if other heads are replacement compatible.)

I'll google for more later, but I thought I'd post here some general tips.

BTW, I'm pretty clear on the good oil/ good gas, clean intake aspect of these machines.

Thanks!

fill with mix, 50:1 is pretty safe
push primer twice
move switch to CHOKE
pull starter handle twice or until you hear it try to start
move switch to START
pull starter handle twice - unit should start
let it run for a few seconds
move switch to RUN and go about your business

hopefully at actually starts - many many 2 cycle engines have gummed up carbs from improper storage
