Husqvarna LTH18538 wont start pls help

delayed closure on this: had nothing to do w/anything being discussed on forum. Had to take to a repair guy who fixed it. Was some kind of flaw w/the camshaft. Said pretty common so I was surprised it didn't come up here. Has been running perfectly since

Probably the automatic compression release. Common on Briggs Intek 31 and 33 series models with the 793880 camshaft, but can happen on any engine.

At a guess he fitted a cheap knock off cam.
Not a problem with genuine cams and very few of the techs here will fit parts of unknown quality so not a common problem to us .
Thanks for the feed back & hope all goes well.
