I have a 4 year old log splitter with a Kohler SH265 engine.
I've had it since new and if I start it every week it fires right up, no problem.
However if I let it sit longer than a month or so, it won't pop/fire.
It's a recoil starter so after the 15th pull I get a little Po'ed....
So I've started removing the air cleaner and spraying a 1/4 ounce of gas into the carb then it fires right up and runs for hours, perfectly.
I have other small engines that sit as long or longer and don't act like this one,anyone have a solution/suggestion?
Edited to add, I only run fresh non ethanol gas.
