I was looking at the manual. It is strange that it does not recommend a metal motor mount and a nylon throttle control rod set-up. The engine even includes a felt clunk and inline fuel filter to help circumvent the other common beginner problems.
The use of a felt clunk and or a in line filter can proove to be of real disadvantage as the fuel flow gradually becomes restricted -
Seen it over n over thru the years
best bet isa clean system with fuel filtered as it it pumped to the tank.
as for the electronic leak problem - very minor possibility -except for damaged high tension lead and or loose spark plug cap.
push rod generating a problem- have not seen any of this on good systems and or on 2.4 systems
being neat is a good idea however.
