Hi Mystyler,
I tend to agree with Norm, probably a carb issue. Since I started ultasonically cleaning them (probably not really required, but doesn’t seem to hurt) and using a viton tipped needle, I haven’t had any starting or running issues over about 10 machines. I had a mower exhibiting very similar issues, thought I’d cleaned the carby well etc. but cleaned the jet again and tried a new needle, started running nicely.
Cheers,
John
