When motor starts it runs fine. But the motor usually does not start manually and by electric start, it starts on 1st or 2nd try approximately 50% of the time. The other 50% of the time, it starts when it is good and ready which can be up to 1 1/2 hrs later. The motor, this fall, had a tune-up and the carburetor overhauled. <br /><br />Thanks!
