Hey Stick ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
Tell us what it's doing..... Dying right after starting ??? I know the engine you have very well...... I don't need a model number on your engine.....
Does it say EZ start on the cover ???
Now does it have a choke on it or the primer bulb system ??? I do have to ask that question because you said it wouldn't stay running......... As in priming it then it would start and then die after a few seconds....
All I need is that info then we can help you way better...
Let us know Mon Ami ~!~!
