Message: [QUOTE="Bill Purcell, post: 172240, member: 17201"] Thanks for the replies everybody. The jetting off the bottom is nice and crisp right now, so I don't want to adjust it just so it will start easier. If that is the problem, then I'll just live with it :) I'll try starting it without the choke sometime to see if that helps. I had never thought of trying to start it cold without the choke. I have noticed in the past that it is SUPER sensitive to reeds. One time it would not start at all and one of the reed petals had the smallest--I mean, I could barely see it--chip in one corner. I replaced the reeds and it started, after the requisite 6-10 kicks. What could cause the backfire (for lack of a better word) that sometimes happens? Thanks again. [/QUOTE]
