Hi guys,
You have helped me in the past.
I have the above engine, but have not had the chance to use it yet, the bores were oiled for storage etc, just waiting for good weather.
I did start it to test run it, but Crikey it was hard to pull start,Felt like I was hitting a brick wall with the compression, is this a fact with this motor ?
I have only ever had an 8hp motor before this one, is there a knack to starting these, it did start second pull, but I found it hard to have one hand on the motor hood, as the manufacturer advises and pull the motor over with the other hand.
Help would be much appreciated .
