[QUOTE="DaleH, post: 464211, member: 15636"] Are you advancing the throttle BEFORE you start it? He may have used it for trilling and backed off the throttle adjustment. I’d also close the choke or out to 1/2-choke, if it can be, after the first 2 or 3 cold pulls, as it sounds like you’re flooding it. Tip - Try pulling it slowly a few times ‘before’ pulling the choke or advancing the throttle. And 1st thing I always check for hard starting is a proper plug gap. The recipe for flooded OBs is to close choke & start at highest RPMS, just be ready to immediately back off the throttle. [/QUOTE]
