Re: Difficult starting
Oh... should say.. if the idle bleed screw has been turned all the way in (I have seen this on several) then you may find you have to turn the ignition on wait for the click, turn off and turn on and wait for the click... 2 or three times before trying to start it...

Re: Difficult starting
When did you last check/change your spark plugs?? They tend to break down quicker when running on gas and make sure you use single electrode plugs.

Re: Difficult starting
Mmm... I used Bosch triple electrode plugs all the time.. in fact I used the same set for over 40k miles... (actually it could have been a lot longer) never a problem... just took em out and checked em, no signs of wear and deterioration.. had acouple or three dizzy caps and rotor arms though...
