PC,
I hope you never see someone cut their hand down to the bone while hand propping. It's not pretty. Yes, and electric starter is convinient, so is electricity, gas powered autos and plumbing....

Jason,
Sounds like it's still a little rich if it's rough, turn the needle valve clockwise a couple of clicks then re-try. Still rough after a few seconds, shut it down turn a few clicks closed and re-try, shouldn't take too many tries.
