Never had this problem since owning motor from 1989. Engine starts intermittently whether cold or hot. No clear pattern other than when it won't start I push the red lever to manual prime, squeeze primer ball it will start. Other times it works fine with red lever in run position, throttle at idle, but sometimes I need to set a full throttle to start. any ideas?
