Re: Starting problems

It could be a number of things...

Check to make sure your choke is working properly.
Check valves and timing.
Does it crank strongly?  I know mine was always a hard starter until I
replaced my tired original starter with a new gear reduction model.  It's
amazing how much more effortlessly it starts now.
