Craftsman 7 hp mower 6 years old.

Mower starts cold perfectly. Runs fine. When I shut it off to empty bag it is almost impossible to start. New magneto and plug. Cleaned carb and will put rebuild kit in. Any suggestions. Its well maintained. Possible valve issue? Head bolts are tight. Please help.

Could well be valve adjustment, what do you have for a engine.

I may be wrong, but when Dodge makes the Charger a coupé equipped with a 6-speed, it will be the best car

It all depends on what you like or want for a car

Is it an auto choke carb or primer?

It is a primer.

It would be nice to know what species of engine we are working on. Please give manufacturer information for the engine like model number,type,code or model,spec info.
