ehoof. I think I have the same problem with my pull start. Ok here it goes. When my car gets cleaned out and put in garage for the night. Then the next day I can start it on like the Second pull. Then I run it a bit until tank runs out of fuel. I put more fuel while the egines off, then I try to pull and it wont start on the thirs or fifth pull, I have to to pull like 12 times to get it started. I've primed it the same way 15mins ago and its not flooded. It just feels looser then the first time I started it 15mins ago. Would it be because of the hot egine parts expanding and I lost compression and have to wait for it to cool down. Or I have to scuff up the OWB a little since after run oil gives the egine a little restiance.
