THANK YOU! It worked like a charm. I was getting ready to throw this machine out. There were days in which I would just give up trying to turn it over. Then it was all good !!!
Hi, Mauricio. You are welcome and I am glad it worked for you. Without this mod these things are nearly impossible to start.
That is a great idea! My machine is very hard to start. Recently broke this recoil housing (on order). Thank you sir!
My pleasure, wmcfarl1. I hope that works for you. Thank you for your comment.
Of course starting fluid is going to work but you will ruin the engine using it. I can spray starting fluid to the back of the breather. Will it work if you put regular fuel through the tube?
That's a great idea and I believe it would work. You would need be be careful not to get too much fuel in there and flood it but I bet your idea would work.
could a purge bulb from the fuel line to the carb from fuel tank work?
I didn't try that so I'm not sure if that would work or not.
Great video. Thanks for posting this. What size threads were on the spring flip cap you used?
Thanks, Andy. I'm not sure of the thread size but this is the flip cap I used. LETAOSK 20pcs M6x1mm Brass Spring Flip Cap.
