[QUOTE="acwd, post: 334354, member: 7495"] As the title says. I have done everything I can think of. Checked the spark jumps a 1/4"+ gap, points at .020. Cleaned the carb twice. Tried different starting steps. Nothing seems to make it easier. It like 6 or 7 or sometimes even more pulls, hot or cold dont matter. Tank is pressured up pumped the primer every time to make sure that there is gas to the carb. I did notice that the exhaust cover gasket is leaking some and I will fix that this winter if i can find a gasket. Going to order a carb kit and new packing for the jets and see if that does any good. Any other ideas?? Thanks Steve P.S. It has new plugs also. [/QUOTE]
