Hello, I have a 2003 BF 15D tiller, auto choke s/n 1003387.
This motor used to cold start and run like a champ.
Motor sat for a year without use and developed the cold start issue.
With fresh fuel I set the tiller to start than press the fuel bulb till hard and have to press the start button 15/20 time before it will stay running.
Once its running it runs and starts perfectly for the rest of the day.
Not sure why the difficult cold start than no issue for the rest of the day.
Do you think it could be the auto choke? Is there a link or description of how to test.
Or does this sound like a dirty carb issue. If so is there a description or link for that
Motor is still in storage till the snow melts, but trying to get some ideas on what to do when i get it out.
Thanks
