I'll be nice. My problem is that its slow to start most times, and when it does start; again, most times it will not idle correctly and kill. But yet, other times it will run fine. There's been thoughts that it might be 1. Fuel Mixture ( to which I'm not familiar with on how it works) 2. Starter (which screaches every time it starts)
We're at the point to hear what other's think it might be. That's what I'M hoping.
