I am all out of ideas, please help!!
ok so motor runs good but is hard to start. is it hard to start the first time when its cold, or hard to start when it is hot. How old is the motor. does it show any sign of a front bearing leak.
if its hard to start cold . is it flooding or not getting fuel? richen or lean the LSN as needed. also be sure to run the motor out of fuel and use just a little after run oil . this make allot of difference in restarting esp if your killing by plugging the pipe and flooding out the motor.
