That's what is so frustrating about mine. Fires instantly on prime.I replaced the fuel line but didn't buy the oem. I pulled some tarragon thru another bigger piece about 1" long and got it to go thru the case to seal it.
Mines a hard starter cold possibly the points, but after it warms up it starts OK. Mines not far away from a seal job to. it took a long time to get it to idle right.
Yes. It just doesn't pick up fuel.Do you use that throttle advance button when you start it?
Been all through the impulse circuit. All clear.does the impulse come from the cylinder or crank case?
have you checked the hole to see if it might be plugged?
