Anyone any experience with owning the above.
It has the better regarded Canadian Kohler engine fitted
Was running, ie started when I bought it a few weeks back then starter rope broke so not used since.
So far added new petrol, got spark, got petrol at glass bowl.
Previous owner said he started it on full choke and closed throttle and it always started 2nd or 3rd pull.
I've tried every combination with no success, even fitted a new throttle cable as the other was stiff, but no joy.
It was started from cold when I bought it and ran with no smoke.
So, If anyone has had/got 1, what technique started it best?

Good job I sorted it myself then,
Travel must have dislodged crap that stopped fuel to the carb, quick blow down the fuel feed pipe and the jobs a goodun.
In all seriousness the carb needs a deep clean, there was no fuel being drawn for those that understand.;)I like the thanks button, but ,please, an I agree button.
