Took the little guy to a mechanic today and he had it running in five minutes. First of all, the fuel filter was installed backwards at the factory. I guess the Chinese can't read arrows. Secondly, and this one frustrates me, I poured over all of the kill switches and couldn't solve the issue myself. The mechanic simply tightended up the kill cord that is on the back of the machine and we were off and running. I am a little apprehensive about this machine now that I have it. The reason I have always had Suzuki's is because they are bullet proof and they do what they are supposed to do. I feel like I am going to have to go over every fuse each time we take the little guy out. Oh well. It was relatively cheap and if my guy gets a few years use out of it, I will be happy.

Thank you to everyone who posted suggestions to try and help me out.

Merry Christmas!
