RE: Additives to make engines start easier ??
I had read and heard all about the Moki's great attributes in terms of easy starting and fantastic power. Well, when I attempted the well documented starting procedure on my new Moki 180 I was less than impressed. I wouldn't get any "bump" when turning it over and hence starting it was real challenge. My misguided method only served to develop muscles in my right forearm! After much priming, flipping (backwards and forwards), and cursing I decided to take out my frustrations on the Moki glow plug and turn up the heat to near 3.5 or 4 amps. It fired immediately on the next backflip and has been doing it ever since. Take Downunder's advice and experiment with the amount of priming and increasing the glow heat until you find the "sweet spot". Good luck.
