Hi, This engine has always been hard to start but then runs good and starts easy as long as its warmed up. Let it go cold however and it takes a good 50 to 75 feet of turning over before it will start and run. I got to thinking man if this was a pull start I'd be pullin my ass off to get going. I got to thinking that its most likely that when it sits the gas runs down and floods the carb and then when I go to ride it it takes awile to pass all that gas ,so to speak, and clear itself and then bing off it goes. Does that sound like whats going on??? Tom in WV PS Yes I shut the valve off but I think its the gas in the filter and lines!!!It needs a better needle and seat!!! I think!! Try
