I got it started on choke then i took it off of ckoke and it ran fine for a few seconds then i put back on choke then it died. I got it started again on choke then i took it off of choke and it pulled it forward about two feet then it died again. I got it started and pulled it back under the shed and it died again. I started it back up it lugged so I gave it some gas and let off and idled fine fo few seconds and it started lugging or idling to low then it died for the forth time. When it died the forth time it poped or maby a small backfire. Now it wont start at all. It will just turn over.

 

all this was in below frezzing and it has not warmed up today and tomorrow its going to be colder

 

If its cold and hasnt ran in a while turn the fuel to the prime setting with the choke on. It will start better. Once it starts turn it back to the on position.

 

I tried that it didnt work

thanks anyway

 

sounds like you flooded it. try holding the throttle wide open with the choke off and spin the engine over for about 30 sec. and if its flooded it should crank.

 

ok I will try that

thanks

 

It could be frozen fuel line. Pull the fuel line off of the carb,put the petcock on prime and make sure you have good fuel flow there. There is a small screen in the inlet line for the carb that can clog. Blow it out or use a soft wire to clean it out. Hook the line back up and remove the screw on the bottom of the float bowl and see if fuel run freely form there. If you have good flow there then it is in the carb Main jets or pilot jets. Add a good fuel filter between the carb and petcock while your there.

 

My dad figured out the problem , the dealer didn't tighten down the intake hose clamp on the carb and it fibrated out of the hose we pushed it back in and tightend the clamp problem fixed

 

Maybe you are taking the choke to the off position to early. I have to start mine with the choke on and as it warms up I slowly push the choke to the off position. If you do it too fast it will stall.
