Re: Hard starting
Welcome Ezgoer,
First, check to see if the choke is working.
Also after you crank it but before it starts, pull the plugs and see if they are wet.
If not, There is a fuel line that comes from the fuel pump and goes to the carb, remove the hose from the carb and stick it in a bottle or something to catch the gas. Push the pedal (spin motor) and see if fuel comes from the hose.
If it does you will need to remove the carb and disassemble it for a good soak/cleaning.
If it doesn't then you check your fuel pump. Inspect the hose that comes from the engine block to the fuel pump for cracks/air leaks. This is what pulses the pump.
If ok, check the hose from the pump going back to the tank for cracks/air leaks, don't overlook the filter, it could be cracked or plugged. If all is well, check the pick up tube in the tank, it might be clogged or even come off.
