Someone else would have to talk to you about them and how to disassemle and check those. Im out.
    Hey Fieldy
    It started after about 5 mins of trying and back fired once! Then it fired up and it ran for about 3 mins then turned off? I’ll try and start again and see how it goes?

    It seemed to run and start fine today? Maybe the gas cap vent blocked? I don’t know maybe it will do the same next weekend?

    That is one shiny es... so I doubt that it's "exhaust" related. But a plugged up muffler/spark arrester will cause that kind of problem. ES's also need a good battery.

    The battery is brand new and as I said from previous post it started yesterday was hard to start at first. But after that it started every time for like 5 to 6 starts! I’ll have to see on the weekend of it starts or has the same problems

    Now sounding more electrical . Just have to try and rule things out. There is a manual available here if you look for it.

    That’s what I think it is something electrical, I do have a manual I’ll have to look and see what I can find out!

    For some reason over the past few months it starts and runs fine now, Iam totally confused! Starts first pull, had so much trouble with it before and didn’t do anything to it! Maybe a small electrical problem somewhere.
