what are your needle settings?

sounds like the low side needle might need a tweaking. But that is just a guess,, explain what it is doing besides just hard to start.

Make sure you choke isn't all tangeld up with the govenor, and closes properly.

eric,besides not starting up right away,it will sound like it's going to fire up but doesn't.then,it seems to flood on me,at which point in time i blow out the spark plug and then it tends to start.hope this helps,robert.

Steve here... Like Andy said... and also, make sure your needle and seat seal. I also had an Oh9Oh need a new flywheel because it rattled the internal welds loose. Weak squeeze... cranks seals, but then it will usually idle eratic.
