Hard start
I have a 2000 cc with a FE290 engine and it is hard to start.i replaced the spark plug and coil and air filter and changed the oil and oil filter.but I still have to prime it with gas or starter fluid.then it starts.i can kill it and restart it but if I leave it setting over night it will not start until I prime it again.if the fuel pump is bad would that cause the problem.if so im thinking about adding a 12 volt very low pressure gas pump on it but do not want to spend the extra mone on a 12 volt pump if I don't have to. so tell me whats my problem

Re: Hard start
sounds like a carb issue, any gas leaking from the bowl? A leaking bowl would cause you to prime it so the motor can run and pump more fuel into the carb/bowl.

Re: Hard start
Have you checked compression. Some times when a motor gets low on compression it needs heavy fluid in the cylinder to seal it up to crank. Then it's fine untill cool down. On the these motors if it's low and you have taken care of it. Probably just need to check the valve clearance. I've seen 60 lb motor come to life with 180 just because the valves were down to tight. Easy to check valves. Pull the plug. Rotate motor until piston is dead top. Remove The 2 screws holding valve cover. Rocker arms should have very little play I them. They shouldnt be tight on the valve stem. I think there set at .008
