If you're still interested I'll tell you how to start one.


I's had one for about as long as you. What's your secret to getting
it started? I've found that if you take the needle valve screws out
and squirt carb cleaner in the jet holes each spring, it makes it
easier to start and runs better.

In a different group I follow, there was a long thread about ways to
get small gas engines like weed whackers and chain saws to start. The
two best sounding ones were to spray WD-40 in the carb, or to "spray"
propane from an unlit torch in the carb to get it going.
