Disappointed it took about 7 or 8 pulls to start. Sounds like the older
models start up on the 2nd pull.


My Yamaha would hardly start last year. Had to dip the carb, to remove all
the gunk from stale gas. And had not been that long since it was run.

My generator wasn't ever started in about 15 years from the factory
but it fired right up when I put gas in it. I am hoping after running
on propane for 4 days after I ran the gas out, it will be the same.
I may drag a propane tank out and fire it up to be sure around July or
August.


I think I did not run out the carb when I stored it away was the main
problem. Seems to start easy now, but I turn off the tank and let it burn
up the carb gas.
