My two cents worth says it is a fuel issue. I recommend pulling the carb and giving it a good ultrasonic cleaning or 24 hour bath. When rebuilding replace the float needle and adjust the float level high or a little rich. That's what I would do if it came into the shop.

Ok guys thanks ill clean the carb it's soft already might as well does any body know the correct adjustment for the screw on the carb/what is the screw for any way I've found to adjustments for it online not sure which on to use and I thought it was a fuel/air mixture screw

When I clean a carb I count how many turns till its completely tight then I start there when I put it in. All mine are usually a turn and a half except my blower its 2.5 turns

What's weird is if I drain the bowl on the carb and than turn the fuel valve on and than shut it off it only lets a little fuel in the bowl and it starts easier but if u leave the valve one it's a pain to start I think it gets to to much fuel
