[QUOTE="zuren, post: 464214, member: 22314"] I'll give this all a try; it may be my technique. This motor only starts in Neutral, and there is no throttle adjustment in Neutral, only the Idle adjustment, which is supposed to be set on "fast idle" at start. Me advancing the throttle was only possible by removing the cowling and grabbing the mechanism by hand...definitely not as the engineers intended. I'm feathering it by hand AS the engine starts to sputter, and is allowing it to start and run. I will double-check the gap. I pulled them to see if fuel was getting to the cylinder but didn't have a gauge. [/QUOTE]
