Default hard start

hi i have a caldera 3.0 was fine but now its starting hard , i have the roto start so i use a drill and it takes 2-3 mins to get it to go, it sounds like it wants to start but doesnt so i put my finger over exhaust let it go and it trys again, when it does start runs good but if i shut it off it doesnt want to start again, any help would be great or do i need a new motor? gary

sounds like when you shut it off it is getting flooded. that will make a motor hard to start.
