[QUOTE="Pappy, post: 280328, member: 3278"] Make sure this engine is running on a 24:1 fuel mixture! It has bushings instead of roller bearings in it. A 50:1 mixture will wear this engine out fairly quickly. One of the key indicators is being hard to start. In your case you have found the issue but if not running the correct mixture it would be wise to change to it. Other things to check and change in that engine would be the impeller......an easy part change and well worth it. Check the tiny vent hole in the fuel cap and make sure it is completely clean and when you get the chance remove the screen in the tank and clean it. Good time to re pack the fuel valve with packing also. [/QUOTE]
