I couldn't stand it not knowing why I couldn't get the little 26cc engine fired up so when the wife left to go to the store I went back out to the garage and tried again. I opened the throttle, stuck my finger in the valosity stack and ran the prop over just three times and on the first flip it popped. I took about 10 more flip and it started. Looks like this engine is very easy to flood. I just wanted to post this so people didn't get the wrong idea. These little engines are power houses for their size and very high quality. Looks like I need to fine tune my starting skills for this engine.
