The RG950 has a 2 cycle engine and requires both fuel and 2 cycle oil be premixed and then poured into fuel tank.
If you use straight unleaded fuel without mixing 2 cycle oil at the proper ratio it will ruin the engine.
• 2-Stroke air-cooled engine.
• Fuel and oil mixture of 50:1 (unleaded petrol: 2-stroke lubrication).
My recommendation for you is use an "all fuel" 2 cycle mix such as Opti or other that includes fuel stabilizer to reduce carburetor fouling.

check the spark plug after a failed attempt to start. If dry, then no fuel is entering engine.
Did you leave old fuel in carb? if so, your carb probably is dirty: old gasoline deposits varnish, gum, and you will need to dissassemble carb and clean it.

First drain the fuel bowl. Any old fuel in there will keep it from starting. Fuel stabilizer is not what it's it cracked up to be. I've worked for 6yrs at a rental yard and had no luck with any fuel stabilizer, the fuel still went bad. If after you drain the fuel bowl it still will not start, you will need to clean the carb. Remove the carb and spray carb cleaner through all the accessible passages. If this does not do it, you will need to replace the carb. For long term storage I highly recommend draining all the fuel and filling just the carb with fuel stabilizer to keep gaskets moist. Then drain the carb when you take it out of storage.

SOUNDS LIKE TO ME YOU HAVE A PROBLEM IN THE OIL ALERT SYSTEM, IF YOU HAVE THE REPAIR MANUAL IT WILL TELL YOU HOW TO TROUBLE SHOOT IT!!!

Hello ghb. Continue with the starter fluid. It sometimes takes 2 or 3 minutes to clear the carbeurator. IF after that, it still won't take off then you will have to rebuild the carbeurator. Joe
