start up question

[dougw]

I have a 5237 that when cold starting have to keep pressing the primer for a while before it will keep running, after it catches it runs fine. Any suggestions?

I have had that problem with another model. I figured it was possibly running a bit lean. My attitude was that as long as it runs well when it's fully warmed up, I'm happy.

How does it cut when warmed up?

It cuts fine once it warms up, sometimes if I go ahead and push it into the grass before it warms up it will pick up and run fine, make take a look a the carb. had not thought of that.

With any two-cycle, I always tune for performance under load (warmed up).
