Pics please.

These might be stupid questions, but I've no idea about your experience.

Is the gas shut off valve on???

Did you try starting it with the choke on??

Is there enough oil in it to cover the low oil sensor, if it's got 1???

Hard to tell without pics.

I cant take pics rn but i tired starting it with all the choke/gas setting because you can pick how much choke you and gas you want so i tried that and i have a gas tank above my engine with a gas line going into the carb but idk why its not starting

1. ALL Predator 212 engines have a low oil sensor new by default, this must be removed and the hole plugged for use on anything other than a stationary machine (generator, log splitter, etc)

2. To satisfy the low oil ignition kill the oil level must be visible at the threads of the cap (16oz aka half a quart) with the engine sitting on a level surface.

3. Remove the spark plug CHECK the following:
Is it dripping fuel wet?
Is it bone dry?
Ground it on a head stud and give the starter a yank...Does it spark?

No spark could be as simple as the HT is loose from the coil or the cap is loose from the HT, incorrect airgap at the flywheel will make the spark weak (too far) or out of time (too close)

If the HT is loose at either end, remove it completely and trim 1/4" off with a pair of wire cutters and thread it back in/on

4.try isconnect the kill switch and low oil sensor entirely for the purpose of starting... it is not uncommon or unheard of for a killswitch to be bad, or a oil level sensor stuck at the bottom.
