Default taking just a bit to start

my revo seems to be starting slower. It will crank for a while and then finally fire. But it takes just a few seconds (max 30 if i just hold the ez start) now i know that ain't right, but i dont know what could be up. You guys have any idea?

deal with it





ahah j/k, umm if your not running ARO or WD40 i would suggest doing that, it helps my revo start a lot quicker after i use it. and make sure its primed.

Agreed. My EZ-start used to take a while to start the Revo up... now that I've switched to a pull-start and glow ignitor... I can usually start it within the first 2 pulls.

Be sure to prime it, too.

try a new plug and before starting take off your air filter and put a few drops of fuel in. It primes it and it fires right up.
