Hey guys, fellow MTF comrade emailed me at home today said he is having difficulty getting on MTF so I asked him if he wanted me to post his question to the forum....so, here it is. Help please. I suspected foul fuel or H2O perhaps but could be a bit of debris in the jet also....what do you guys think?
"The mower has been great all summer but lately has been taking a lot of cranks (10-15) to get going so I"m wondering if I'm using the correct starting procedure. Should I push the speed handle all the way into the "choke" section and leave it there while cranking or should I pull it back after a few cranks to avoid flooding. Any ideas about the increase in cranks to get it going? Once running it goes like a bat out of **** - never seen so much power in a small mower. Thanks"
