[QUOTE="MrGiggles, post: 482301, member: 22613"] This. Some technique may help quite a bit. Those 4 strokes have a pretty high compression ratio. Works on big ATVs if you ever kill your battery too. Those big 600-700 singles are hard to pull, roll it over the bump slowly, then give it a yank, otherwise they'll just about rip the handle out of your hands. Is it hard to pull or just hard to start, as in it takes a lot of pulls? I would check the choke/throttle adjustments and make sure that they are correct, and change the spark plug as well, may be a little fouled from assembly lube. Being new may be part of it as well, should get better once it's fully broken in. Try not to idle and run it pretty hard for the first few hours. [/QUOTE]
